Pray
Through prayer, we deepen our relationship with God as we engage with him in your daily lives.
He reveals to us his great work he is doing in our lives and in the world and invites us to join him in that work.

Baptism
Baptism is “the sacrament by which God adopts us as his children and makes us members of Christ’s Body, the Church, and inheritors of the kingdom of God” (Book of Common Prayer, 858). In the teaching and practice of the Episcopal Church, baptism confers full membership and participation in the life of the Church. Baptism is thus about the community as much as it is about the individual.
There is no such thing as a private baptism. Adults and older children seeking baptism are sponsored by members of their families and close friends; infants and younger children are sponsored by members of their families and Godparents. In both cases, those being baptized are surrounded and affirmed by the community. Accordingly, all baptisms take place during public worship.
Confirmation
Confirmation is the sacramental rite in which the baptized Christian expresses a mature commitment to Christ, and receives strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop. (Book of Common Prayer, p. 860)
At Saint Michael, Confirmation classes are available for Youth and Adults. Youth Confirmation is available each school year for students in 8th grade and older. Adult Confirmation preparation is provided by the new Fall Saint Michael 101 offering.
Music
Music plays a vital role in both the traditional and contemporary worship life at Saint Michael and All Angels. The choirs, instrumentalists, and singers at Saint Michael provide musical leadership during sung worship services. Adults, youth, and children all share their musical gifts leading inspiring congregational hymns and service music along with providing anthems, worship songs, and major choral works from many choral and musical genres and periods. Saint Michael is a member of the Royal School of Church Music in America.

Worship at Saint Michael and All Angels
Worship is one of the principal ministries of Saint Michael and All Angels Church, and is one of the many ways we help one another grow in faith so that we may then be a blessing to the world. In the words of the Catechism, we make it a point to gather together each week “to acknowledge the holiness of God, to hear God’s Word, to offer prayer, and to celebrate the sacraments.” Through regular participation in corporate worship, we are equipped to be ministers of God’s grace and love in the world. All worship at Saint Michael is based on The Book of Common Prayer, but we offer services that exhibit a range of styles.
