“Amazing Grace” Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see! ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed. The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures. Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come. ‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. When we’ve been there ten thousand years bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we’d first begun. Words: St. 1-4 John Newton (1725-1807), St. 5 attributed to John Rees, fl. 1859 Public Domain
“I Am The Bread Of Life” I am the bread of life. They who come to me shall not hunger. They who believe in me shall not thirst. No one can come to me unless the Father draw them. Refrain: And I will raise them up, and I will raise them up, And I will raise them up on the last day. The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world, And they who eat of this bread, they shall live forever, they shall live forever. Refrain.
Song continues on the next page.

Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink of his blood, you shall not have life within you, you shall not have life within you. Refrain. I am the resurrection, I am the life. They who believe in me, even if they die, they shall live forever. Refrain. Yes, Lord, we believe that you are the Christ, The Son of God who has come into the world. Refrain.

Annual Giving Campaign Giving to our annual stewardship campaign, Building the Kingdom, is an essential practice that supports Saint Michael’s shared mission and ministry, including our growing staff, campus, and programs. While essential to our operations, giving annually is an incredibly important spiritual discipline. An annual gift represents our stewardship of the time, talents, and treasures that God gives freely to each one of us. Giving back to God’s work through Saint Michael is a sign of gratitude and a key part of deepening our discipleship identity. It’s our turn to invest in our future. As you evaluate your annual stewardship gift, we also ask you to please join us in Building our Future.

“The Jesus I Never Knew” by Philip Yancey Now – November 19 | Saint Michael Chapel Led by the Rev. Ken Brannon In this study, you’ll gain a new and deeper perspective on Jesus’ ministry and teachings. Come meet Jesus again with new eyes! Class For Parents: “The Tech-Wise Family” Now – November 12 | Theater Making conscientious choices about technology in our families is more than internet filters and determining screen time limits for children. It’s about developing wisdom, character, and courage in how we use digital media rather than accepting technology’s promises of ease, instant gratification, and the world’s knowledge at our fingertips. The Fifth Gospel: “The Land and the Bible” Now – November 19 | Coke Room Led by the Dr. Tim Smith In this class, you will be introduced to the land of the Bible, how it influences the text and the life and faith of those in God’s story and be equipped to see those influences as you read and seek to understand Scripture.
VETERANS DAY SERVICE
November 12 5:30 p.m. Service | Church 6:30 – 8 p.m. Reception | Garden Cloister Bring your friends and neighbors and join us in saying “thank you” to our veterans for their incredible service with Guest Preacher the Right Rev. James B. Magness.
AGING AND FULFILLING OUR SPIRITUAL PURPOSE: FINISHING WELL
Led by Chick Deegan and Mary Ann Webster 10 a.m. – Noon | Tuesdays, Now – December 7 | Parlor Carol Osborne writes, “Admittedly, establishing and maintaining both a hopeful and realistic vision of the aging process... challenges the best of us.” Aging provides the opportunity to redefine who we are in this season of life. We will explore how to thrive with purpose, and leave a legacy that reflects our God-given gifts. Using Bible verses, quotes from wise elders, and poetry, our time together will include discussion, reflection, and sharing. For more info, please contact Chick Deegan at deeganchicke@aol.com.
