Spring Parish Survey

Coming Soon!


On Tuesday, April 25, the church will be sending out a parish wide survey to gather input on your spiritual needs, our programs and ministries, and learn how we can better support you (and your family). Be on the lookout for the survey that will be emailed on Tuesday or you can pick up a paper copy of the survey on or after Sunday, April 30.

To support a permanent home for the seven-volume set of The Saint John's Bible please consider making a donation to help cover the expenses for the display cases, lighting, security, and making the volumes accessible within and beyond our walls. CLICK HERE to make an online contribution then select “Illuminating Our Faith” from the drop-down fund menu. Check contributions can be mailed to the church office or put into the Sunday offertory plate. For stock gifts or questions please contact Jan McLaughlin - treasurer@stmikeschurch.com. To learn more about the project visit www.stmikeschurch.com/bible. Thank you in advance for your generosity as we illuminate our faith together.
