Will be held on Sundays,September 12, 19, and 26 at 7:00 PM in the Abraham Room.  We will receive new members on Sunday, October 3rd at the 11:00 AM service.  If you are interested in joining our congregation, or just want to learn more about the ministries at St. Michael, please plan on joining us.  Child-care will be available.  Please see one of the Pastors if you have any questions.

The 2010 Blanket Drive runs from September 4 through October 9, 2010.  This annual blanket and quilt collection gives our members a great opportunity to be God's helpers to people in disaster areas of our own country and foreign nations as the need arises.

New and gently used, clean blankets are acceptable, and new bars of soap (in original wrapper) are also collected year 'round for LWR to be delivered with the blankets.  One bar of soap is a real health-blessing where none is available in disaster areas.

A $5 donation to LWR will purchase one blanket if you prefer to support the ministry in that way.  Be generous as the Lord has blessed you.  Simply place your gift in one of the pew envelopes and mark ìblanket driveî in the memo line on the front of the envelope along with your name for proper credit.

Jesus lived with the awareness that God is doing something, right here, right now, and anybody can be a part of it.  He encouraged His listeners to search, to question, to wrestle with the implications of what He was saying and doing.  He inspired, challenged, provoked, comforted, and invited people to be open to God's work in this world.  Wherever He went, whatever he did, Jesus started discussions about what matters most, because for Jesus, God is always inviting us to open our eyes and join in.  NOOMA is a series of short films that explore our world from the perspective of Jesus.  NOOMA is an invitation to search, question, and join the discussion.  No previous Bible study required.

Tuesday evenings, starting on Sept. 14 at 7 pm in the Chapel we'll begin with praise music and then watch a short 15-minute video and follow with discussion questions.

Deborah Circle is a group of women of all ages who meet the second Saturday of each month (September through May) for Bible study, fellowship and service. Our next meeting will be on Saturday, Sept. 11th. We begin in the Chapel for singing and prayer at 10:00 AM then move to the Abraham room for study. We will continue with our study of Really Bad Girls of the Bible: More Lessons from Less-than-Perfect Women, by Liz Curtis Higgs. In Chapter 5, we will be learning about Bathsheba, the "Bathing Beauty".

Our ongoing service project is sending greeting cards to those who are in need of sympathy, get well, or could just use some cheering up. If you would like a card sent to someone, please contact the church office or Dodie Martinek at 734-455-0291 and we will be glad to send a card.

Remember to use your prayer list. Prayer always helps whatever the situation. We will update the list at each meeting.If you are looking for a new way to study God's word, serve others or just enjoy fellowship with Christian women, prayerfully consider giving Deborah Circle a try. Please contact Jeanine Davis at 734-981-8802 if you need a book or have any questions.

Saturday Book Discussion resumes on September 18, 2010 at 9:00 am in the Library, with a thought-provoking new book, The Christian Atheist, by recovering Christian atheist, Craig Groeschel. 

The Christian Atheist is an honest, hard-hitting and eye-opening look into the ways people profess to believe in God but live as if He doesn't exist. From his own lapses in faith as a young man to the painful self-admission he had to make as an established pastor, Groeschel's own journey will immerse you and challenge you into a deeper, Christ-filled life.

Look for the sign-up on the Pastor's Board.  Contact Pr. Joe with any questions, 734-459-3333 or e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
