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 traditional post-Easter Cake Auction will be held between the 9:00 and 11:00 am services this coming Sunday, April 27. Hosted by the MOW/WOWs and Dishwasher Committee, this exciting event features cakes, pies, cookies and the like, all baked by St. Michael’s members and auctioned off to the highest bidder to benefit the Dishwasher Fund.
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.
The first important event of our year-long Strategic Visioning process is happening on Sunday, February 9, from 10:15 am to 12:45 pm. This is the first parish engagement (of three this year), and it is very important to have your experience, your perspective and your voice contributing to this work.
All St. Michael’s members are encouraged to attend our 2025 Annual Meeting at 12:15 pm in the nave on Sunday, January 26. The meeting will include approving the 2024 Annual Meeting minutes and the 2024 Annual Report.
Beloved people of St. Michael & All Angels,
I thank you for a meaningful and enlightening curacy. You have been kind and welcoming. In this environment I was able to bring forth the gifts that God has granted me, knowing I would be met with support and wise direction. I have worked and studied in a number of Episcopal churches over the past few years. All are unique in their gifts. St. Michael’s is not only blessed with a deeply faithful community, but one that is dedicated to living out the Good News in local and global communities.
The new graphics on the bulletin board in the Parish Hall are an invitation to become more connected to St. Michael’s by finding a place to serve. Together, we can find new ways to use our spiritual gifts to contribute and grow in community. It started out as part of the newly formed Newcomers Committee’s efforts to help newer folks find their way more easily into parish life.
All are welcome for this annual event welcoming the Advent season on Sunday, November 26, at 10:00 am in the Nativity Hall. There will be seasonal crafts galore as well as the makings for a beautiful Advent wreath.
Plans are coming together for our Eucharist and picnic next Sunday, August 27, with the gathering beginning at 10:00 am and the service at 11:00. Please note that there WILL be a 7:30 am service but NO 10:00 am or 1:00 pm services at the church. We’ll be gathering at Wilshire Park in Northeast Portland in sites A and B.
A new day is dawning at St. Michael & All Angels. Last Sunday, we joyously celebrated the ministry of Rev. Sherman Hesselgrave. We will be forever grateful for his guidance and leadership through a difficult transition. He has earned some well-deserved rest and relaxation, and we wish Sherman safe travels in the coming weeks.
