Feast of St. Michael and All Angels

This coming Sunday is the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels. During coffee hour after the 10:30 service you’ll have an opportunity to talk to the folks who are in charge of Property, Music, Art, Education, Liturgy, Hospitality and Communication at Redeemer. If you’re interested in volunteering some of your time, talent and enthusiasm toward one (or more!) of these aspects of our life together, this is a great chance to learn how.
Sheila has posted a note about the anthem for that day in our Arts and Music blog.
From Wikipedia:
Michaelmas (also the Feast of Ss. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael or the Feast of Michael and All Angels) is a day in the Christian calendar which occurs on 29 September. Because it falls near the equinox, it is associated with the beginning of autumn and the shortening of days.
The Archangel Michael is one of the principal angelic warriors, seen as a protector against the dark of night, and the administrator of cosmic intelligence. Michaelmas has also delineated time and seasons for secular purposes, particularly in the United Kingdom and Ireland
