Outreach

Make sure to subscribe to the outreach newsletter, so the latest mission and outreach news hits your inbox each month.

We desire to live as doers of the Word alongside Christ and others. (Inspired by James 1:22) The impact we hope to create is rooted in the concept of kinship, which is found throughout writings in the New Testament. We take seriously the question of what it might look like to live as though we are intimately connected to others, no matter the perceived differences. More specifically, we desire to create connections with those who are "disinherited," (using Howard Thurman's term,) as Jesus did.

The Outreach Committee guides the parish in pursing the priorities listed below. We intend for this to be a dynamic commitment, evolving to meet the needs of our neighbors, and to improve equity throughout Arlington. It will be reviewed annually.

For 2021 the priorities include:

  • Food insecurity
  • Housing insecurity and supportive services
  • Meeting the needs of our most vulnerable populations
  • Disaster/Emergency assistance

The local groups highlighted on this page represent the nonprofits with whom St. Michael's is grateful to be in partnership. Through volunteer activities, monetary donations, and gifts in kind, we seek to serve Christ in all persons.

Care of Creation

At St. Michael's, we are entering a time of reflection on environmental theology and care of God's creation. In September 2011, the Episcopal Church House of Bishops issued a pastoral teaching to the church regarding environmental justice. In it they wrote:

"The mounting urgency of our environmental crisis challenges us at this time to confess "our self-indulgent appetites and…

St. Michael's regularly supports Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD), which provides national and global services, such as disaster response, advocacy, economic assistance, hunger alleviation, and long-term anti-poverty programs.

Service Times

Sunday Eucharist at St. Michael's is a comprehensive service of both Word and Sacrament. We read from the Bible, we recite or sing a psalm, and we listen to a sermon. Then we pray for the Church and the world, and we ask God's forgiveness for our sins. Finally, we greet one another in the peace of Christ and move to the sacramental service of the Holy Communion.

At services of Holy Eucharist, all baptized persons are welcome to receive holy communion. We also offer blessings to those who for any reason are not able or not comfortable receiving this sacrament.Children are always welcome at the communion rail. Learn more about Episcopal Worship
