Yes, you! God's loving care is working to connect you closer to His own heart. At Saint Michael we offer diverse opportunities designed just for you, your family and your friends. We believe His light does show the way and we have provided a place and means for you to seek His truth and promises. So whether you seek comfort or knowledge, you will find much of both here. And whether your interest is in leading, supporting, or attending Bible Study, self-enrichment, or another special interest group you will find the following list of daily schedules helpful in making that decision. These sessions are directed by focused and spiritually-led Christian individuals. You are invited and encouraged as a visitor or a congregation member to contact either the leader as indicated below for details or call the Director of Caring Ministries, Julie Berchtold, at 939-4711 x 227. "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." John 12:46 |
