Greetings! 

Please be our guest at St. Michael & All Angels annual Seder Meal Wednesday at 7:00 pm in Hensler Hall.  Passover is a family festival.  This ritual is a celebration of the wondrous salvation our God brought to pass more than 3000 years ago when he delivered our ancestors from bondage in Egypt. 
  
The ceremony is more than just a remembrance, but also a participation in the events we commemorate. 
  
Grace & Peace,

 


Father Dr. Paul A. Elliott

                

 

Get ready for another Men's Easter Bonnet Parade!  Our annual pot luck breakfast and Contest will be at 9:15 am on Easter morning.  Don't miss out on this fun event.  Last year's winner CHIP FRAME. 

 

For the breakfast, please bring a dish to share with our parish family.  Beverages will be provided by the Hospitality Committee. 

 

After the 10:30 am service there will be Easter Egg Hunts for all the children attending the service. 

 

Following Easter Sunday, Lisa King, the parish administrator will be out of the office.  Bonny Collins has agreed to check phone messages and to follow up with any parish related business that needs attention.  Please leave a message or send an email if you need to be in touch with the church office April 25-May 1. 

 

 

 

Good Friday Offerings support church in Jerusalem


Offerings given at Good Friday services throughout the Diocese of Atlanta support the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem. Since 1922, Episcopalians have supported the ministries of the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East through this annual offering. Through the work of the Episcopal dioceses in the Middle East, Christians work to maintain a peacemaking and stabilizing presence in the region, serving their neighbors regardless of faith background.

 

 

 

O Lord,

To all who, giving themselves to care of the poor and handicapped of the world, find themselves confronting fearful beasts in their own desert places; grant the awareness of your presence and succor in that wilderness.

 

(After some words by a L'Arche community helper.  A Procession of Prayers:  Mediations and   Prayers from Around the World.  Ed. John Carden. Harrisburg, PA:  Morehouse Publishing, 1998.  p. 108.)
