Book Exchange Continues
Our summer book exchange began on July 14 and continues through July 28. You’re invited to bring books for children, youth or adults (no textbooks, please) to the Nativity Hall on Sunday or during the week.
Pride Parade on Sunday!
It’s finally here! The Portland Pride Parade is Sunday, July 21. St. Michael’s position in the Pride Parade lineup has been moved up to spot #104. That means we will be moving out a bit quicker than we had planned, but we’re still hoping that we will be able to go to church and head downtown on MAX at 11:00.
Introducing Lenia Salas
Lenia has now officially joined the staff of St. Michael’s and is diving right in. She is attending staff meetings and planning meetings for the upcoming youth retreats, and she will participate in the first retreat next week in Bend. At the end of July, she will begin gathering with the 1:00 pm service youth, alternating middle- and high-school youth in the Raphael Room during the service. She will also participate in the Hope & Fire youth retreat at the beginning of August.
Introducing James Walker
On Sunday, July 14, James Walker began his long-term organist sub position at St. Michael’s. He is an extraordinary organist and will be playing some favorites this summer.
