NOTICE: Change of worship schedule, June-September

Pastor Sue is on Vacation & Sabbatical

Beginning Sunday, June 1, 2025, Pastor Sue will be away (and not available) as she takes her 1-month annual vacation and first-ever 3-month sabbatical for rest and renewal. 

In case of pastoral emergency, please call Moderator Barb Dieckmann.


Her first Sunday back will be October 5, which will be the first Sunday (Ocean Sunday) in the Season of Creation as well as World Communion Sunday.

Services During Pastor's Vacation/Sabbatical

 The Church Council has decided that during the 18 Sundays Pastor Sue is gone we will have a combination of visiting six neighboring UCC churches and 12 lay-led services at St. Michael’s. 


 On the Sundays we visit other UCC churches, there will be some of our church members to meet you at St. Michael’s parking lot if you don’t want to drive and would like to carpool.  The Council hopes that visiting our sister UCC churches will be an enjoyable experience where we can meet and worship with others in our denomination.
