Mission & Outreach

“

Following Matthew 25:35-36, we as Christians are called to feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, care for the sick, and have compassion for prisoners. At Saint Michael we embrace these words as we seek to develop and sustain relationships with our community based partners to serve our neighbors. Ultimately, our goal is to serve others in Christ’s name as we enhance the spiritual life of Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church parishioners.

International Mission AMISTAD (BOLIVIA)

Stay tuned: Registration coming late June!

The Amistad Mission provides more than “housing” for the orphaned and abandoned children of Cochabamba, Bolivia. We provide a home and a bright future. Begun in 1989, La Villa is Amistad’s campus where more than 70 children and youth—all abandoned, abused or orphaned—receive the support they need to rebuild their confidence and find joy again. At Amistad For Families, we

support the counseling and interventions for identified at-risk families, to help them avoid child abandonment and abuse. At both La Villa, and Amistad For Families, the children and families receive the educational, medical, spiritual and emotional support they need to overcome their often traumatic past and become healthy children and adults.

Saint Michael and All Angels has been a supporter of the Amistad Mission for decades.

Start building a relationship today! Become a Prayer Friend with the children at La Villa.

EASTERTIDE SERVICE PROJECTS

In 2036, Texas will celebrate its bicentennial. What will Texas look like in 2036? Will Texas still lead the country in economic growth? How do we prepare our state for the challenges ahead, such as pupulation growth, rising health care costs, pollution, and the depletion of natural resources?

Join us for a powerful night of discovery as the discussion turns to the state of our State, with moderator Diana Newton.

DIVORCING . . . A DIFFERENT KIND OF LOSS Stay tuned for more details Registration required, $125

Divorce is common in our society, so common perhaps that we might not acknowledge how a personal crisis it is. Divorce disrupts our homes and families, our valued friendships, our emotional and financial health.

Divorce is a spiritual crisis, too. It evokes so many intense and difficult emotions – grief and hurt, anger and shame, guilt and relief – especially the guilt that comes when relief is felt. Saint Michael will offer a safe and honest place for learning, healing, and support.

Attendance, preparation, confidentiality, and prayerfulness are the “requirements” for this clergy-led group. For information, please contact Katherine Bowen, kbowen@saintmichael.org.

UPCOMING EVENTS OUR STORY SUNDAYS 10 A.M. Saint Michael Chapel During the 2018-19 program year, Christian formation for all ages at Saint Michael had the opportunity to learn the arch of the biblical narrative through “God’s Story.” This program year, many of our adults will continue their journey of formation by engaging in “Our Story”. If God’s Story, the Bible, represents the Scripture leg of the three legged stool of Anglican Faith, then Our Story represents the Tradition leg (the third leg, Reason, will be our focus the following year with “My Story”). Our Story is the narrative of how our theology and history have shaped us as followers of Jesus since biblical times.

Most Sundays, during the 10 a.m. formation hour, this class will be led by our clergy, lay leaders and many other experts in Christian History and Theology, from SMU, Perkins,

3RD SATURDAY / MONTH Led by Cynthia Sample and Carol Roehrig 10 a.m. - Noon Parlor For more information or to make suggestions please contact Cynthia Sample at 214-7663907 or cynthia@cynthiacsample.com.

Join with other writers of all types to give yourself this writing workshop, a two hour empty space for exploring, plowing through or opening yourself up. Most experience words and ideas that flit through our consciousness, but never make it to the page we fantasize and cannot find time to actually produce. Writers will initially be offered a simple prompt to get the juices flowing should that need be present.

One and a half hours of (caffeinated) silence will ensue for writers to pursue their own projects or try something new. The last half hour will offer a space for sharing (or not) our sentences with others. Please Note: all writing is welcome: fiction, non-fiction, essays, family history and memoir.

In March, a special retreat will be offered to those who wish to explore devotional writing; this will include Scripture prompts and other tips from members who have produced this kind of material. This is great preparation to write for SMAA’s in-house Advent Booklet.

Please note that no prior or professional training is necessary to participate.

Saint Michael Episcopal School develops confident and compassionate students through a foundation of four pillars: service, education, love, and faith.

We welcome children 12 months - kindergarten. Members in good standing of Saint Michael and All Angels will receive priority admission consideration. We invite you to visit us on our website, you will find application information, as well as information about our offerings and curriculum.

Contemporary Music

The Contemporary Music Department oversees all music for Joy: A Children’s Service, Youth, and Contemporary services.

Comprised of Dallas’ finest jazz, classical, and folk musicians, the Saint Michael Contemporary music collective leads the Contemporary Services at Saint Michael. Blending an ancient faith with modern life, you can expect to hear a collection of hymns, psalms, and worship songs that capture the story of our faith and equip us with the theological tools and encouragement we need to live our Christian lives Monday through Saturday. Expect to see a variety of instruments and styles, but always striving for truth and excellence. In addition to Sunday Eucharist, they perform several concerts of original music written especially for Saint Michael throughout the year.

If you are an accomplished musician and would like an audition, please contact Justin.

SAINT MICHAEL CHOIR The Saint Michael Choir is the church’s adult choir. They rehearse Wednesday evenings and sing for the 11 a.m. Sunday Eucharist in the church, plus extra special services such as Evensong, Holy Week services, Advent Lessons & Carols, and Christmas Lessons & Carols. The Choir is open to adults and high school students by audition. For more information, contact Jonathan Ryan (opposite).

SAINT MICHAEL CHORISTERS Saint Michael Choristers are boys and girls in grades 3-8 who rehearse on Wednesday (with alternate rehearsal time available on Tuesday and Thursday) and sing for the 9 a.m. Sunday Eucharist in the church. Modeled after the Royal School of Church Music and English cathedrals, choristers receive a high level of training in singing, music theory and music history. They not only participate at the heart of worship, learn about our faith, and receive professional level musical instruction, they also experience growth on many other levels, including socially, verbally and academically. It’s also a wonderful opportunity to make new friends! Choristers also enjoy regular fun outings like caroling and ice skating in the winter. For more information, contact Julia Dietz Beckel. No music background is necessary, but new choristers and their parent(s) first need to meet with our music staff to be placed in the ensemble.

SAINT MICHAEL CHERUB CHOIR Saint Michael Cherub Choir is a fun, engaging music exploration time in which young choristers are taught the basics of healthy singing, music literacy, and liturgical formation through simple songs and hymn singing.

All are welcome, and no musical knowledge is required. This group is for children age

4 - 2nd Grade. If your child loves to sing and you want them to grow into the Saint Michael Chorister program with confidence in their musicianship, then sign up for our brand new Wednesday afternoon Cherub Choir experience. For more information, contact Julia Dietz Beckel.

Anyone who has remembered this church in his or her will qualifies for membership. As God’s stewards, we build on the foundation left by those who came before us. We, in turn, have the opportunity, with a bequest to Saint Michael, to sustain and enhance our parish ministries and programs for the benefit of future generations.

church’s mission and ministries long after their lifetime.

The Foundation uses parishioner gifts made through wills, trusts, insurance policies, retirement plans, and other planned giving to advance the mission of this church. Every bequest — a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your total assets, or the residual estate — is a statement of faith and thanksgiving.

THE SAINT MICHAEL AND ALL ANGELS FOUNDATION The Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is governed by a 15-member board of trustees elected by the parish, which oversees a professionally managed perpetual fund invested for capital growth and preservation. Trustees serve six-year terms, (see page 5 for a list of the current members) with five new trustees elected by the parish every two years.

The Foundation supports the vision of SMAA, to be followers of Christ spreading God’s love in our community and in our world. With a gift to the Foundation, people who love Saint Michael and All Angels can leave an enduring legacy that perpetuates the

The principal from gifts to the Foundation is invested and never spent when directed to an endowment fund. As the endowments grow, distributions from the earnings are made to strengthen and initiate new church ministries, enhance our places of worship and fellowship, and reach into the community to help our neighbors. Grants in recent years have supported community outreach programs including the revitalization of the Jubilee Park community, Saint Michael’s Farmers Market, and the Saint Michael Presents concert series, expansion and growth of the Saint Michael Episcopal School, and creation of the Nave and Courtyard Columbarium on the church’s southwest campus, to mention a few.

As a matter of church policy, all bequests to the church accrue to the Foundation. Gifts to the Foundation are welcome throughout the year and are subject to the review and acceptance policies of the Foundation.
