Are you a long-time choir member? Someone who’s thinking of joining one of our choirs in the fall? Just like to sing and want to see what it’s like to sit in the chancel area on Sunday morning? Any and all are welcome to join a summer pickup choir this Sunday, June 30, for the 10:00 am service.
Rector’s Town Hall on June 30
We are arriving at the midway point in this year, and it is an important time in the life of our community. On Sunday, June 30, I will offer a town hall forum from 11:30-12:30 to share together about some of the poignant matters arising in the second half of 2024 and looking ahead toward 2025 for St. Michael’s. Topics will include staff transitions, finances and strategic-vision development.
From our Curate: Time for a Summer Read!
One of my favorite aspects about summer is the freedom to read books. This is a long-standing love of mine. I have some great childhood memories of long hours of lazing away the summer days while reading. I would jump on my bike and ride to the city library and pack up a basket full of books. I was enthusiastic (nerdy?) enough to join the reading programs where I would receive a paper print out and then acquire a stamped ‘thumbs-up’ when completing a book.
Music for June 16 – 30
For the services on June 16, we welcome soprano Kaeli, who will sing an excerpt from Handel’s “Messiah” at the 9:00 am service. At the 11:00 am service, soprano Jennifer will sing Schubert’s classic “Ave Maria.” Also featured are a few musical selections to honor the Juneteenth holiday, including an organ prelude composed by Uzee Brown, Jr.
