August Book Sale
     It’s not too late!!!  The sale is this Saturday, August 26th from 8 a.m. – 2 p.m., and Sunday morning between services.  If you still have items for the Book Sale, bring them in. You can place them in the tub in the coat closet by the front door. We also collect LPs, DVDs, and tapes for the sale! 
 
FEAST Groups
     St. Michael’s will be offering a ministry of Feast Groups: 6-8 individuals to gather for a meal at the home of one of the members.  Normally in such groups the host provides the entrée and the other members of that group provide appetizers, salad, vegetables and dessert.  As a rule, each group stays together for 4-5 months to offer the opportunity for each individual or couple to host a gathering.  The intention of such groups is to get to know one another better as we share in conversation, and, of course, the meal.      
     Beginning August 6, a sign-up sheet has been available in the Gathering Space for anyone who would like to participate to indicate their desire to do so.  By the end of the month groups will be formed and the first host designated.  Then during Epiphany, the groups will shuffle with new groupings formed.
 
St Cecilia Guild Pansy Sale
     This year the St. Cecilia Guild will again be having a pansy sale fundraiser to support music-related activities at St. Michael's.  We started taking orders on August 13th so we can place our order with our supplier “The Greenhouse” by mid-September.  We plan to have the pansies available for pickup the last weekend in September to coincide with our St. Michael's patronal celebration. We don't anticipate there will be any change in pricing or availability.  Cost has been $20 for flats of eighteen 3” pots.
