The Rector's Space
“I will, with God’s help.”
During the past few weeks, I’ve been spending extra time with our Baptismal Covenant—in Youth and Adult Confirmation Groups, preparing families for the celebration of two baptisms (1:00 service on All Saints), and finalizing liturgies for Bishop Akiyama’s visitation to St. Michael’s (Sunday!).
Music for Sunday & Looking Ahead
The St. Michael’s Singers will finish out the liturgical church year today with classic anthems by Ralph Vaughan Williams (“Let all the world in every corner sing” from “Five Mystical Songs”) and W.A. Mozart (“Ave verum corpus”). Hymns and keyboard voluntaries will reflect the themes of Thanksgiving and the Reign of Christ.
Bishop’s Visitation on November 17
The Rt. Rev. Diana Akiyama, Bishop of the Diocese of Western Oregon, will visit St. Michael’s next Sunday, November 17. Bishop Akiyama will preside and preach at the 9:00 and 11:00 am and 1:00 pm services and conduct youth and adult confirmations and receptions at all three services.
Health & Wellness Workshop
Arcoíris Latino, or Latin Rainbow, is sponsoring a workshop at 2:15 pm this Sunday, November 10, after the 1:00 service. This workshop will cover substance abuse and prevention, including of alcohol and opioids; the use of Nalozone (Narcan); and resources for mental health.
Election Prayer Opportunities
There are two opportunities next week to gather and pray on either side of Election Day. For all the reasons that he discussed in his powerful eblast note—leaning on our values, sticking together, stirring up faith, and getting out to vote—we’ll hold space together for prayer.
