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.

We’ve entered an exciting phase in our church’s life with the launch of our dual capital and annual giving campaigns. Building our Future and Building the Kingdom invite us to give generously to the work of God through Saint Michael, and I hope you’ll join us! Please visit our campaign room in person or our website to learn more.

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!

The Collect of the Day: 7:30 AM Blessed Lord, who hast caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that, by patience and comfort of thy holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which thou hast given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Collect of the Day: 5:30 PM Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The First Lesson Zephaniah 1:7, 12-18 Be silent before the Lord GOD! For the day of the Lord is at hand; the LORD has prepared a sacrifice, he has consecrated his guests. ... At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the people who rest complacently on their dregs, those who say in their hearts, “The LORD will not do good, nor will he do harm.” Their wealth shall be plundered, and their houses laid waste. Though they build houses, they shall not inhabit them; though they plant vineyards, they shall not drink wine from them.

The great day of the LORD is near, near and hastening fast; the sound of the day of the LORD is bitter, the warrior cries aloud there. That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of trumpet blast and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the lofty battlements. I will bring such distress upon people that they shall walk like the blind; because they have sinned against the LORD, their blood shall be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung. Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of the LORD’S wrath; in the fire of his passion the whole earth shall be consumed; for a full, a terrible end he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.

Lector The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God.

Psalm 90:1-12 Lord, you have been our refuge * from one generation to another.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or the land and the earth were born, * from age to age you are God. You turn us back to the dust and say, * “Go back, O child of earth.”

For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past * and like a watch in the night.

You sweep us away like a dream; * we fade away suddenly like the grass.

In the morning it is green and flourishes; * in the evening it is dried up and withered.

For we consume away in your displeasure; * we are afraid because of your wrathful indignation.

Our iniquities you have set before you, * and our secret sins in the light of your countenance.

When you are angry, all our days are gone; * we bring our years to an end like a sigh.

The span of our life is seventy years, perhaps in strength even eighty; * yet the sum of them is but labor and sorrow, for they pass away quickly and we are gone.

Who regards the power of your wrath? * who rightly fears your indignation?

So teach us to number our days * that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.

The Second Lesson 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers and sisters, you do not need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. When they say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them, as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and there will be no escape!

But you, beloved, are not in darkness, for that day to surprise you like a thief; for you are all children of light and children of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness. So then let us not fall asleep as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober; for those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are drunk get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of

4

salvation. For God has destined us not for wrath but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep we may live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing.

Jesus said, “It is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them; to one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. The one who had received the five talents went off at once and traded with them, and made five more talents. In the same way, the one who had the two talents made two more talents. But the one who had received the one talent went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. After a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.

Then the one who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more talents.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ And the one with the two talents also came forward, saying, ‘Master, you handed over to me two talents; see, I have made two more talents.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ Then the one who had received the one talent also came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew that you were a harsh man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter seed; so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’

But his master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy slave! You knew, did you, that I reap where I did not sow, and gather where I did not scatter? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him, and give it to the one with the ten talents. For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away. As for this worthless slave, throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth’.”

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.

I BELIEVE IN

angels I Believe in Angels is a partnership between Saint Michael and Jubilee Park and Community Center.

Parishioners sponsor angels (children and seniors) and donate Christmas gifts which will be wrapped and distributed to families. Throughout December, volunteers will be needed to sort, process, and wrap gifts, bake cookies, and distribute gifts to families.

As a meaningful complement to Christmas gifts, Heart of Giving is a thoughtful way to spread the spirit of the season by purchasing tax-deductible cards that you can share with family and friends. Each card describes how your gift provides tangible benefits for Mission and Outreach initiatives.

Participate online or by visiting our tables in the church hallways on Sundays. The 2023 beneficiaries are: • Amistad Bolivia Youth Houses: Therapeutic houses for the youth of Amistad experiencing the effects of deep trauma and other mental health issues.

• Tela Honduras Mission: The mission team provides flouride and Bible Study resources to the children in the barrios of Tela and the students of Espiritu Santos Episcopal School.

Class For Parents: “The Tech-Wise Family” November 19 | Theater Making conscientious choices about technology in our families is more than internet filters and determining screen time limits for children. It’s about developing wisdom, character, and courage in how we use digital media rather than accepting technology’s promises of ease, instant gratification, and the world’s knowledge at our fingertips.

The Fifth Gospel: “The Land and the Bible” November 19 | Coke Room Led by the Dr. Tim Smith In this class, you will be introduced to the land of the Bible, how it influences the text and the life and faith of those in God’s story and be equipped to see those influences as you read and seek to understand Scripture.

AGING AND FULFILLING OUR SPIRITUAL PURPOSE: FINISHING WELL

Led by Chick Deegan and Mary Ann Webster 10 a.m. – Noon | Tuesdays, Now – December 7 | Parlor Carol Osborne writes, “Admittedly, establishing and maintaining both a hopeful and realistic vision of the aging process... challenges the best of us.” Aging provides the opportunity to redefine who we are in this season of life. We will explore how to thrive with purpose, and leave a legacy that reflects our God-given gifts. Using Bible verses, quotes from wise elders, and poetry, our time together will include discussion, reflection, and sharing. For more info, please contact Chick Deegan at deeganchicke@aol.com.

Amistad, Bolivia Youth Houses Since 2000, Saint Michael has supported the orphaned children and adolescents of Villa Amistad in Cochabamba, Bolivia, helping to successfully bring them to independent living through life in transitional youth houses. During the pandemic, the adolescents were particularly affected by the isolation of quarantine. Our support will help them receive the educational, medical, spiritual, and emotional support they need to overcome their traumatic past.
