From The Rector's Desk
The season of Lent is upon us. On Ash Wednesday, the ashes smeared on our foreheads remind us that we are dust and to dust we shall return. Our earthly life is finite. We are created in God's image -- if you remember the creation story in Genesis, God gathered dust, blew into the dust and created the first human. We are dust -- holy dust. The cross re-traced on our foreheads on Ash Wednesday is both warning and promise. We belong to God through our baptism and we are assured of God's mercy and forgiveness. In the 40 days that lie ahead, may your life be enriched by the disciplines of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

A History of Involvement
St. Michael’s has been blessed in many ways in its near 100 years. Early lay leadership developed into baptismal ministry. A thriving Sunday School Program for children and young people led to Christian formation opportunities for all ages. This in turn, supported the development of baptismal ministry. The parish has a tradition of carefully planned liturgy along with high-quality music of diverse styles. Parish staff and leadership approach the realities of an increasingly diverse community as an opportunity for evangelism and outreach.
