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.
On the Second Sunday of each month, our program staff will lead discussions on a variety of topics. And look for additional forums scheduled on other Sundays throughout the year. Each forum will begin promptly at 11:45am in the Reception Hall, unless noted otherwise.
Upcoming Forums in 2025 (Stay tuned for more information!)
Sunday, February 9, Cross Talk: (Mis)Understandings across Generational Divides: Mary Ellen Lehmann, Director of Children, Youth, & Family Ministries
What’s on the minds of teens these days? What do they wish parent and grandparent aged folks knew about them? Mary Ellen will host a conversation about some common misunderstandings across generations. She’s been asking youth about ways they feel misunderstood. We’ll employ empathy, curiosity and hospitality as devices to open up mutual understanding across generational divides. The primary focus is teens and twenty somethings; I suspect we’ll discover other decades have the capacity to misunderstand one another!

Our Relationship With God

Occasional/Seasonal

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.
