FROM THE RECTOR

TODAY AT SAINT MICHAEL

The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Girata

We’re so glad you’ve joined us at Saint Michael today. We’d love to get to know you better, so please take a moment to fill out the welcome card, either physically or digitally, that can be found on the opposite page or in the pew back in front of you. Our Welcome Team members are in the hallways today to help you with anything you need.

In this new year, please take a moment to think of all the ways God has blessed you with gifts and how you can use those gifts through our church community. Please also make note of the special events coming up in the next few weeks, including the Women of Saint Michael and Men of Saint Michael speaker events on Wednesday, January 17 and Wednesday, January 27, respectively (details are in the back of your bulletin). We hope you’ll join us!

As we prepare to worship together, I invite you to take a moment and center yourself on God’s presence. Worshiping, learning, and giving together help us grow closer to who God created us to be, and you’re part of that work. May God bless you today and every day, and I hope to see you again very soon!

“Amazing Grace” Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see!

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed.

The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come.

‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we’d first begun.

Annual Giving Campaign Giving to our annual stewardship campaign, Building the Kingdom, is an essential practice that supports Saint Michael’s shared mission and ministry, including our growing staff, campus, and programs. While essential to our operations, giving annually is an incredibly important spiritual discipline.

An annual gift represents our stewardship of the time, talents, and treasures that God gives freely to each one of us. Giving back to God’s work through Saint Michael is a sign of gratitude and a key part of deepening our discipleship identity.

It’s our turn to invest in our future.

As you evaluate your annual stewardship gift, we also ask you to please join us in Building our Future.

In an effort to reduce food insecurity in our community, Saint Michael partners with multiple food pantries working to support food-insecure individuals and families by providing them with food resources. You can join our fight against hunger! Consider making it your New Year’s resolution to volunteer once or twice a month on the Saint Michael Food Pantry Team.
