Saint Michael & All Angels

Welcome Ministry

This ministry welcomes those who are new to Saint Michael, including visitors, new members, and those who transfer from other Episcopal churches.

Newcomers are incorporated into our parish family in several ways:

Newcomers' Luncheons with the Rector

The Welcome Ministry sponsors two luncheons each year for all those who are visitors, regular visitors or new members. If you are new to Saint Michael, please join us for lunch and a time of conversation about this parish and the ways you can be engaged in ministry.

Newcomers' Weekend

Every spring and fall, Saint Michael offers an adult Newcomers' Weekend for those interested in joining the church. Even if you’re a life-long Episcopalian, this is the best way to learn about Saint Michael and meet others new to the parish. The class takes place over a weekend and concludes with confirmation. It covers the worship, practices and governance of the Episcopal Church as well as the traditions, programs, and ministries that Saint Michael offers.

The schedule for the Spring Newcomers' weekend is as follows:

• Friday night, April 19^th - 6:30-9:00 casual dinner and program

• Saturday, April 20^th - 9:00-3:00 with breakfast and lunch included

• Sunday morning, April 21^st - 8:45-10 a.m.  everyone attends the 9 a.m. service in the Church together

• Wednesday night, May 1^st - 6:30-8:00 p.m. potluck dinner & confirmation rehearsal

• Sunday Morning, May 5^th - Adult Confirmation (during the 11 a.m. service)

All events are in the Coke Activities Room.  Click a date for more information or click here to register for the weekend.  Questions?  Please contact Tish Visinsky or Ann Mills at 214-363-5422 or .
