As Saint Michael begins an extended and fresh focus on the Bible this year through the God’s Story initiative, we are engaging in a six-week sermon series entitled, “Making Sense of the Bible”. This series is meant to address some of the common questions that thinking people may have about the scriptures, and provide some practical tools for going deeper.

Join us at all 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 5:30 p.m. services.

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.
