Exploring our Faith Collectively and Individually
Adult Formation at St. Michael’s
Despite the challenges we face in this time, there are plenty of opportunities to connect, explore our faith, and deepen our community. The St. Michael’s family is alive online: we meet in weekly small groups, gather for special seasonal events, walk the path of Sacred Ground, and pursue training and education of all kinds.

St. Michael’s Small Groups
Join us this spring as we study Walter Bruggemann’s Sabbath as Resistance: Saying No to the Culture of Now. Brueggemann writes that the Sabbath is not simply about keeping rules but rather about becoming a whole person and restoring a whole society. Brueggemann calls out our 24/7 society of consumption, a society in which we live to achieve, accomplish, perform, and possess. We want more, own more, use more, eat more, and drink more. Brueggemann shows readers how keeping the Sabbath allows us to break this restless cycle and focus on what is truly important: God, other people, all life. Sabbath as Resistance offers a transformative vision of the wholeness God intends, giving world-weary Christians a glimpse of a more fulfilling and simpler life through Sabbath observance. Small groups begin the week of April 30 and will meet for 6 weeks. Each session will last for one hour, and each group will decide whether to meet in-person (indoors or outdoors) or over Zoom.

Connecting With Each Other
Oftentimes, you will hear members of St. Michael’s referring to our community as a parish family. We have small groups that meet informally, such as the Men of St. Mike’s; Motherhood of Grace; Parents of Adolescents Support Group; Young Adult Group; Knitting Group; Family Camp and Hiking outings. Supportive and caring small groups in a large Church setting enable us to minister to each other.
Connecting to Our Community
We are a faith community that supports each other and our community in multiple ways. Whether it is mentoring our parish and neighborhood children on Monday evenings during Homework Help or providing food and meals to those who struggle with food insecurity, service to others is part of our Core Values.
