Welcome to St. Michael's
The Rev. Michael L. Bradley, Rector
Dr. Joseph D. Daniel-Hoste, Organist and Music Director
We are a community of faith that gathers to worship at 10 am on Sunday mornings
Since our founding we have supported activities at home and abroad with monetary gifts
and with the personal involvement of our parishioners. In this way we share the light of Christ.
We are from all walks of life. At St. Michael’s you can find working people, retired people, younger, older, students, families, single folks, partnered couples. Our congregation looks just like the people who live all around us. What draws us together is a love of God, a desire to offer our best to God in worship, and a commitment to bringing our faith into the world we encounter. Read more about us…
Music for organ and voices
We celebrate the goodness of God’s creation and embrace our role in sustaining and healing the world around us. We strive to respect the dignity of every human being. We are inspired by rich and varied worship that incorporates all the human senses of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. We follow a church calendar that celebrates holy women and men and in its cycle of special occasions reflects the changing of the seasons. We engage heart and mind and voice to praise God in the beauty of holiness. We discern God’s ongoing revelation through reason, experience and tradition.
St. Michael’s Book Group

Our book: Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano
This novel tells the multi-generational story of a complex family saga. As the publisher states,” An exquisite homage to Louisa May Alcott’s timeless classic Little Women, Hello Beautiful is a moving portrait of what is possible when we choose to love someone not in spite of who they are, but because of it.”
Named a Best Book of the Year in 2023: New York Times Book Review, NPR, The Washington Post, Time, Chicago Public Library.
Our group is open to everyone, whether you have come in the past, or would just like to come for the discussion. For more information or questions, contact Elaine Backhurst.

The Little Thrift Shop at St. Michael’s has been serving our parish and the larger Detroit community for 60 years. This consignment shop receives clothing and household items for resale. The proceeds from sales support local non-profits.
Excellent quality and competitive prices, and you are helping to repurpose, reuse and recycle. Your dollars provide Community Engagement grants for other non-profits.
It’s a win-win all around.
Loving and serving our neighbors
And let us remember
those for whom we are responsible
and to whom we are accountable
in what we do today:
Those who have died,
and their families and friends who loved them;
Those who suffer
and those in any kind of trouble or distress.
May we show all whom we meet
the thoughtfulness, tolerance
and kindness of Jesus.
Lord, hear us.
Lord, graciously hear us.
Lord, hear our prayers,
and if today we might be the means
by which you answer the prayers of others,
then may you find us neither deaf nor defiant,
but keen to fulfill your purpose, for Jesus’ sake.
Amen
Jane's Walk gp ~ a community labyrinth
A labyrinth provides a place to find spirituality, a place to ease the mind and refresh the spirit, one step at a time. Walking the labyrinth is a way to gain peace and guidance.
Our labyrinth was built as a tribute to the life of Jane Engelbrecht Bashara, who exemplified Christian values well beyond the church walls and touched the hearts of all she encountered.
Everyone is welcome, at anytime.
We hope Jane’s Walkgp will inspire peace, love and giving in the community.
