All Angels Flight Tracker: 


At last, the realization that we are on our way back to our spiritual home seems within reach! Thank you to every angel who has already participated in the All Angels Campaign, we are indeed on our way back to St. Michael’s on Sanibel.


In anticipation of returning, we asked several members and invite you to ask yourself the question below.


Question of the Week


What spiritual need do you feel will be more fully met by returning to St. Michael’s on Sanibel? Or What are you most looking forward to when you return to services on Sanibel?  

Voices of Angels- Answers from a Few in Our Flock:

Hope Rising Update #72

Today's Excitement Dear Friends, Today was a day to celebrate! LCEC trucks arrived to install the new meter and energize it so the new HVAC system in the sanctuary can be started up! Then a couple hours later, we passed the City of Sanibel final inspection and we were given the Certificate of Completion; the final step in our permit process which started last May. We are very grateful to Councilwoman Holly Smith, City Manager Dana Souza and all the city and LCEC employees who assisted in these final steps and of course to all the FP workers and their subs for all their hard work these past several months and the Property Restoration Team; the working group was there to receive the good news today. We are very busy getting the spaces ready for opening weekend starting with our 4th Advent services this Saturday at 5pm and Sunday at 8am and 10:30am (livestreamed). Then we will have 3 Christmas Services at 4pm, 8pm (livestreamed) and 10:30am. Thanks to the volunteer teams who have been washing dishes in the kitchen, putting books on the bookshelf, hanging wreaths and a 100 other details. It is a stunningly beautiful space and we can't wait for all to experience it again for the first time in 15 months! Bill +
