You’re needed to greet our guests!

We’ve invited the community to join us this Saturday, April 23 ,9 AM at the Smith Parish Center, for a visual, informative look at environment and border lands with Dan Millis, Coordinator of Sierra Club’s Borderlands Program since 2008. Coffee and conversation start at 9 AM, program at 9:30.

Grace-St. Paul’s is helping promote the event. Calendar releases and e-invites have gone out.

Now we need you! It isn’t just that we are hosts. This will be an excellent program, informative and factual, painlessly educational, with a succinct Power Point and stupendous visuals, and opportunity for discussion and questions.

If you can help by bringing coffee hour treats, or helping set up or serve, or being a greeter, please call or e-mail Ila, You are really, really needed!

Perfect pairing with the Boy Scout car wash / rummage sale. Come check out the “reuse and recycle” items, then pay the Boy Scouts to spiffy up your car while you enjoy coffee and the program.

THANKS BE TO GOD !

Fr. Jeffrey Reed is at home recuperating from last Friday’s surgery. He is doing well and expects to once again be celebrating Mass at St. Michael’s. 

Margaret Harnsberger is at Handmaker, (for rehab and expects to be there approximately two weeks. (If I know Margaret…..it will be less than two weeks).

PLEASE NOTE!  In order to comply with St. Michael’s graveyard standards, the Junior Warden requests that the many faded bouquets that decorate the graves be removed. Bouquets of flowers, natural or artificial, should not exceed 5” x 5” x 5”, and, as part of routine maintenance, they will be removed when they start to fade. Thank you for your cooperation and prompt action in this matter.

A Sweet Deal

Did you know? ..........

The Discretionary Fund at St. Michael's is used for many things - assistance to people in need, expenses for church events, and other urgent expenses at the Rector's discretion. When donations for church events, such as the Maundy Thursday meal, do not cover food costs, we lack the resources to help people in crisis. Please help us replenish this important account.  Thank you!
