If you are one of those people, come pick up your Christmas Gift on Sunday! Thank you!!!!!

Are you missing your grandchildren or days gone by when your children were younger, or are you a teen needing service hours? We have an opportunity for you! Due to the wonderful growth in young families attending St. Mike's, we are needing additional help in the nursery with our children 5 and under during the 10:30 services. You don't need to make a long-term commitment...simply sign up for a Sunday here and there as your schedule permits. CLICK HERE for the worship sign-up page.
