Lent & Holy Week Services

We are a family of faith dedicated to worship, prayer, and service.

St. Michael’s is a small and friendly family of faith, dedicated to worshipping God, following Jesus, and serving one another and our community in the power of the Holy Spirit. We welcome all who seek to know and love our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

About St. Michael’s

We meet every Sunday morning to hear the Scriptures, sing, pray together, and receive the sacrament of Holy Communion.

Our services follow the Book of Common Prayer. Its liturgies have ancient roots, connecting us with the faith and worship of Christians through the ages, and giving us a pattern to “worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.”

Worshippers tend to dress casually. Children are welcome—a certain degree of ‘kid noise’ is usual. All baptized Christians are invited to partake of the sacrament, including children, at parents’ discretion.
