Thank You
Many thanks to all who contributed items to our annual Food Drive to benefit the St. Michael's Church Food Pantry!
Program Coordinator Position
St. Michael’s Episcopal Church is seeking a half-time Program Director to oversee significant parish events, and to mine opportunities for the church to engage in the community. Strong communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills needed. Flexible hybrid schedule, and most Sunday mornings.
It would be a great fit for a St. Michael’s parent who wants the flexibility to be available for school children, and who has been thinking about getting involved in a church.
