Among the “James trio” in the New Testament, James, son of Alphaeus (or James the “Less”), has the smallest profile. He receives no credit for a single question, comment, or action during his years with Christ.
He was simply one of the Twelve. This James never stood out for ridicule or praise. James, son of Zebedee (the “Great”), and James, son of Joseph, both held far more prominent roles in the history of the times. James, son of Zebedee, was one of the famous Sons of Thunder among the disciples. James, son of Joseph and the half-brother of Jesus, eventually took a significant leadership role in the church of Jerusalem. But James, son of Alphaeus, lived in the background of the story.

Time to Be is back!

What is Time to Be? A time during the week when you are welcome to pop in to St Michaels Church for a moment of peace and tranquility. A time to pray, meditate, knit or read. A time to come and relax in your favourite pew and enjoy the beauty of the historic church.

Volunteers will work in pairs to provide the opportunity for the old church to be open to both parishioners and the public during the week, outside of service times. Beginning September 6th,  we have two scheduled shifts:
Tuesdays 3pm to 5 pm, and Wednesdays 4 pm to 6 pm.

Pop in to St Michaels Church for a moment of peace and tranquility. All are welcome! 

This ministry was first begun in 2015 by Sean Krausert. A daily schedule of three 2-hour shifts allowed St Michaels to open its doors during the week.
Time to Be remained available until the pandemic forced us to close down the program. Our statistics showed that when we had a complement of 16 volunteers during our first 6 month time period, we had nearly 400 shifts completed and 220 individuals popped in, both parishioners and visitors to the church and town. What an opportunity for ministry and outreach!

If anyone is interested in joining our volunteer crew for a shift of 2 hours per week, please contact Susan Sagert at sesagert@gmail.com

Food and Friends has a new way to sign up as a volunteer. Opportunities are listed through July 31.

There are lots of openings available. The Food and Friends program is a great way to contribute to a St. Michael’s outreach program and to the community. Consider signing up for one or more weeks by clicking the button.
