New Website is Up!

St. Michael's new and improved website is now up and running! Please click the button above to see and engage it. One of the benefits of our new website is its ability to make updates and changes relatively quickly and efficiently.  Some edits and changes are still forthcoming, but its basic structure is present. Our thanks are extended to Katie Hoyer for her work in "building" the site, and to Kerry Chomic, for taking on its management. We would also like to extend our gratitude to Chris Riegle for many years of labor as he kept the content of the “old website” updated.

Results of Re-Opening Survey

Thank you to all who responded to our reopening survey. The St. Michael’s Re-Opening Advisory Team received over 50 responses. Through the survey, you told us that a significant number of you are interested in returning in-person service in our sanctuary, with the wearing of masks and social distancing at all times. Your interest is apparent even with the restrictions imposed by our Diocese, such as having no coffee hour, no distribution of Holy Communion, and requiring advance reservations. The Re-Opening Advisory Team appreciates all of your comments and feedback, which are being considered as the Team continues its work. We will provide further information on a potential reopening date as soon as that is available.

COMMUNITY UPDATES

Altar Flowers: One of the gifts of spring, summer and fall are the wonderful flowers in our gardens and on our altar. Through the fall months if anyone has flowers from their gardens that St. Michael’s could use on our Altar, please contact Anne Foster at 718-631-8957, or email Anne at: 

anne.foster@comcast.net Thank you. Meanwhile, thanks to Anne who has been arranging for flowers on the altar for our online services!

Can you help with Frozen Meals?: The Pastoral Care Commission is in need of folks to make frozen meals so that we can replenish the meals that have been given out to Parishioners. If you are able to prepare a tasty casserole or a lasagna (in a foil pan), please contact Sue Cool or Susan Butterworth. We can pick them up from your home and store them in the St. Michael’s freezer. Thank you!
