We will be celebrating the 85th anniversary of the Thrift Shop and honor Ann Davis and the Women of St. Michael’s.

Boo!

Everyone is invited to join us via Zoom on Wednesday 10/30 at 7:00 pm to discuss the book, Life as We Know It (Can Be): Stories of People, Climate, and Hope in a Changing World, by Bill Weir. You can read a description and order the book here.

If interested, contact Lesley Tracy for the Zoom link.

St. Michael’s will be hosting a festive party from 4:00-6:00 pm with light food and treats for children of all ages. Your Halloween planning committee has been hard at work preparing for this new St. Michael’s event!

Every organist was a student at one time—even the great J. S. Bach! In our first concert of the season, we will celebrate the organ as a vessel of musical knowledge passed from teachers to students throughout the generations. Acclaimed pedagogue and concert artist, Timothy Olsen, the Kenan Associate Professor of Organ at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, will present a program of pedagogical works as well as works by students and their teachers.

For each concert, we suggest a $20 donation per person. Season subscriptions may also be purchased.
For information on how to subscribe to the series, please visit our Concert Series page.

The 2024-2025 Organ Concert Series: “The Fisk at Fifty”

The Vestry meets on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm in the Chapter Room. All parishioners are invited and welcome to attend. Vestry minutes are posted on the bulletin board outside the Church Office.

Fr. Tom will trial an evening Youth and Family Ministry Service on the Second Sunday of each month at 5:00 pm, beginning on 10/13. This will be shorter, more contemporary, casual, and interactive—with a meal to follow.

Choral Evensong is led by the adult choir and the priest. This service of sung Evening Prayer will include the Magnificat and Nunc dimittis in C by George Dyson, the anthem "When rooks fly homeward" by Arthur Baynon, as well as hymns and psalms.

Following our regular Sunday morning service, join us at 2:00 pm, when we will hold our annual St. Francis Blessing of the Animals on the Summer Street Lawn. Please bring your pets (or photos or stuffed animals) to receive a blessing (and you will be blessed, too!).

Prayers for good weather are greatly appreciated!

Join historian Donald Friary in St. Michael's Churchyard and in the 1714 church for his portrayal of Ashley Bowen (1728–1813), Marblehead mariner and ship’s rigger. He’ll reminisce about his long life on land and at sea, recalling especially the years of the American Revolution, when he was torn between his admiration for the British Navy, his service in the British siege of Quebec in 1759, his membership in the Church of England, and his identification as a Marbleheader and an American.

Ashley Bowen wrote an illustrated journal for over 40 years recording his experiences and opinions before, during, and after the Revolution and revealing his ambivalent British–American identity.
