Holy Week & Easter
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.
Lenten Forum Series Concludes
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.
Music for Sunday, April 6
This week’s offertory anthems are Mary-centric, as Sunday’s gospel describes Mary anointing Jesus’ feet with perfume. At 9:00 am, the St. Michael’s Singers offer an arrangement of the spiritual “O Mary, Don’t You Weep” with soloists Palmer and Beth.
Advocacy Day on Monday, April 7
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.
