This Sunday, our regular Sunday worship schedule resumes.

Please remember what ev. ic e K en V I said in the announcements last , n e th H a n n o n . Br week: there are people who are not yet here who would love to be here—they just need an invitation from you. Please consider inviting at least one person to church and remember to greet the ones you do not recognize. If someone is looking for more information about Saint Michael, do not hesitate to connect them with Rob Springer, our Director of Engagement, a Greeter, an Usher, a staff member, or a member of the clergy. It is important that we not only welcome people well, but also help them connect to the parish in meaningful ways.

We kick off our program year next Sunday, August 14!

In addition to fellowship in the Garden Cloister and blessing backpacks during worship, we will also hold a book signing for the debut of our brand new children’s book and audio series, “Stories From the Bible, From Creation to Pentecost,” based on the favorite sermons of Father Harmuth during the 9 a.m. Joy service. Both Father Harmuth and the illustrator, Travis Harvey, will be on hand to sign books. I am so proud of the work that went into the creation of this book and know you will want to purchase a copy.

We can’t wait to welcome Chris Girata back from sabbatical next Sunday! I will write one more letter to the parish next weekend, and then hand this column back over to him. Thanks for reading and staying connected to Saint Michael Church.

African-American Spiritual, Public Domain

“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 hear, and grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed.

Song continues on the next page

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.

Words: St. 1-4 John Newton (1725-1807), St. 5, attributed to John Rees, fl. 1859; CCLI #1718120

But we need new members to bake and sell at the Sunday tables. Each member joins one of four teams and is only responsible for baking and/or selling once a month. You can bake only, sell only, or bake and sell. Selling on Sundays is a great way to meet other parishioners, visit with new and old friends, and enjoy a new fellowship group. Members can choose their sell times between 8:30 and 11 a.m. and still attend a service. All proceeds go to local charities. Join us to enliven your Saint Michael experience.
