Welcome to St. Michael's
We are a community of faith
that gathers to worship at 10 am on Sunday mornings
with music for organ and voices and Holy Communion for All
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.
The Rev. Michael L. Bradley, Rector
Dr. Joseph D. Daniel-Hoste, Organist and Choir Director
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…
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.

Reconciliation.

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
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.
