As we celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus in to Jerusalem, and this holiest of weeks as He prepares for the cross, we want to welcome you to Saint Michael--we’re so glad you chose to worship with us today! Saint Michael is a community of believers pursuing Christ and caring one for another. As such, please let us know if you are visiting, or in need of prayer support, by filling out a communication/prayer request card located in the backs of the pews. We hope that your time among us will be filled with a sense of connection, and we hope to see you again soon!
