GOD’S STORY In the Church One of the great opportunities we have at Saint Michael this coming program year is everyone reading through the narrative of the Bible, “God’s Story,” together. Each Sunday morning at 10 a.m., members and guests of all ages will attend an ageappropriate lesson and hear God’s plan of salvation unfold. This is a wonderful way for each of us to deepen our faith, and for families to grow together in their faith and understanding of the Bible.

INSTRUMENT SHOW AND TELL The contemporary musicians will host an instrument “petting zoo” immediately following the Joy service TODAY. All kids attending can come play a guitar, upright bass, keyboard, percussion, or mandolin.
