In Holy Baptism, we make solemn vows to “seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbors as ourselves,” and to “strive for justice and peace among all people and respect the dignity of every human being.” At St. Michael’s, we believe that worship and action go hand-in-hand. These are some ways in which we live out our baptismal promises.

Pride Parade & T-Shirts
This year’s Portland Pride Parade is Sunday, July 20. We’ll be walking with Trinity Cathedral and other Episcopal churches. Come show your support for the LGBTQ+ community by marching with other St. Michael’s folks behind our big Pride banner.

Advocacy Action Opportunity
Instead of a table with letters to sign, this week, Advocacy Action is requesting members of St. Michael’s to email the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) asking them to deny Zenith Energy’s air-quality permit. Zenith Energy operates an oil-processing and storage facility on the banks of the Willamette River in NW Portland.

Signs for our Times
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.
