Welcome!
Welcome to St. Michael's Episcopal Church, a parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee! We invite you to join us in worship, fellowship, and ministry as we proclaim the Gospel and show God's love to all people.
The Season of Pentecost (May 27 - December 2)
In our Christian tradition, we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost on the fiftieth day after Easter. Pentecost commemorates the time when God poured out the Holy Spirit upon the world, and we celebrate it using the symbol of fire and the color red.
The rest of the season following Pentecost is known as Ordinary Time, derived from the word "ordinal," which simply means counted time. During Ordinary Time, which continues until Advent (four Sundays before Christmas), the color green is used, reflective of a time for growth for individuals and the church. The readings and lessons selected for these Sundays focus on various aspects of our faith, with a special emphasis on the mission of the church in the world.
Episcopal Church Women
Part III in a series about ministry opportunities at St. Michael's...
Episcopal Church Women (ECW) is an organization promoting the Christian principle of doing good for others and serving as a social outlet for women of the parish. It's a time to gather and share a meal, get to know (or catch up with) each other, and participate in a program.
All women of the church are members of ECW and are welcome to come and participate. You don't have to make it to every meeting; there are no attendance requirements. Unless announced otherwise, we meet on the first Tuesday of each month from 5:30 - 7 pm in the parish hall. During the meeting, we share a meal and have a program of some sort.
This year's ECW theme is "Sharing God's love for each other and our church." Some of the programs scheduled for 2012 include a presentation on women of the bible, crafts, card-making, move and game nights, and a clean-up around the church.
