Thank you for your generosity


The first six months of 2022 has been a season of growth, possibility, and inspiring generosity at St. Michael’s because of you! Last year our stewardship vestry team invited our community to take a “Leap of Faith” to see what could be possible in 2022 and the results have been incredible. As we have sought to make Christ known within and beyond our walls, included in the following letter are some of the things made possible because of your generosity. To read about all the incredible things done in the first six months CLICK HERE.
