St. Michael’s parishioners and friends of the parish are warmly invited to our Pentecost Art Show this Saturday, June 7. The theme of our Pentecost Art Show is “Many & One in the Spirit/ Muchos y Uno, en el Espíritu,” and this show is a celebration of the diverse creative spirit at St. Michael’s.
Our Palm Sunday sign collaboration with Rose City Park Presbyterian Church was so successful that many would like to keep it going. All are invited on the first Sunday of each month—including this Sunday, May 4—to offer Christian witness to our community.
St. Michael’s Vision & Strategy Committee invites all to its second all-parish gathering on Sunday, May 4, from 2:30 to 5:30 pm. We’ll explore the ministries in, of and for St. Michael’s and ask ourselves some important questions.
All are welcome for our remaining Holy Week and Easter services! Tonight, April 18, is our bilingual Good Friday liturgy which includes Stations of the Cross and veneration of the Cross. Tomorrow night is our most important feast of the year, the Easter Vigil. There will be candlelight, hymns that we sing only at this service, and creatively presented traditional readings. Light incense will be used at this service.
Our weekly Lenten Forum series, facilitated by Seminarian Matt Haines, concludes on Sunday, April 6, at 10:15 am in the Nativity Hall. Matt is leading an exploration of Episcopal saints from twentieth-century America whose faith caused them to radically live out the Baptismal Covenant.
Through a generous grant from our Outreach & Justice Council, St. Michael’s is sponsoring Advocacy Day on April 7. This will be a day of building community, sharing our stories and advocating for values-based legislation in Salem through group meetings with our legislators.
Holden Evening Prayer will be held just one more Wednesday, on April 9. Join us in the Parish Hall for a simple soup supper at 5:30 pm, followed by this beloved prayer service in the chancel at 6:15 pm, lasting less than 30 minutes in length.
Our weekly Lenten Forum series, facilitated by Seminarian Matt Haines, continues on Sunday, March 30, from 10:15 to 11:00 am in the Nativity Hall. Matt is leading an exploration of Episcopal saints from twentieth-century America whose faith caused them to radically live out the Baptismal Covenant. This Sunday’s saint is civil rights martyr Jonathan Myrick Daniels, a white seminarian.
The music program at St. Michael & All Angels presents our yearly fundraiser on the evenings of Friday, February 28, and Saturday, March 1 (a little early this year due to where Easter falls). Buy tickets in person on Sunday mornings or at the doors each night, starting at 6:30 pm.
For Week 2, we’re directing your attention to the Oregon Black Pioneers website and, specifically, to their History Maps tool. Please take some time to explore History Maps, following your interests and curiosity wherever they take you. You’ll be glad you did! Because of our work on the St. Michael’s land story, we clicked on the map point closest to St. Michael’s and followed the thread as far as we could (within reason) not knowing what more we might learn about our neighbors and neighborhood history.
