FROM THE RECTOR The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Girata
We’re so glad you’ve joined us at Saint Michael today. We’d love to get to know you better, so please take a moment to fill out the welcome card, either physically or digitally, that can be found on the opposite page or in the pew back in front of you. Our Welcome Team members are in the hallways today to help you with anything you need. This Sunday marks the final Sunday of Epiphany, and we now look toward the holy season of Lent. This Wednesday, February 14, is Ash Wednesday. We will be offering worships services throughout the day, so please look in the back of this bulletin or on our website for times that work for you. In addition, the weekday clergy meditations begin on Ash Wednesday and are a wonderful way to center yourself each day. As we prepare to worship together, I invite you to take a moment and center yourself on God’s presence. Worshiping, learning, and giving together help us grow closer to who God created us to be, and you’re part of that work. May God bless you today and every day, and I hope to see you again very soon!
