Budget Forum
January 19 between services
A Budget Forum will be held January 19 between the 9am and 11:15am services in the Pavilion. The purpose is to present and review the budget that will be discussed at the Annual Meeting (though there will not be an act to approve the budget at the Annual Meeting - that’s the vestry’s job.) This forum will be recorded and posted on our Youtube page this week as one of the reports to the Annual Meeting.
Annual Meeting
January 26 @ 11:15
On Sunday, January 26, we will hold two services at 7:30am and 10:00am. The annual meeting (with potluck brunch) will follow the 10:00am service. Nominations for Vestry and Diocesan Convention Delegates are available on the Annual Meeting Page. Annual Reports of ministries will be posted as they are received this week.
Call for Annual Meeting Reports
If you lead a ministry at St Michael’s, we ask that you submit your report by January 21 for our annual meeting on the 26th. Reports may be in written or video format. Email them to Caryl, our Communications Director at communications@stmichaelsabq.org​
Call for Volunteers for Coffee Angels
​We need a few more regular volunteers to help the team set up for coffee hour between the 9:00am and 11:15am services. Among the duties are making coffee, rotating bringing treats, and welcoming people. If you are interested, please reach out to John Teel at teelaccounting@icloud.com
Realm Rollout
Our church is moving to a new electronic church record-keeping solution called Realm®. Realm primarily serves the administrative needs of our staff, but it also offers some exciting opportunities to support the way you are involved in our church. Realm will replace our outdated printed directories. Instead, you will have access to the church directory through a secure online sign in, and on your mobile device. You’ll be able to update your photo, email address and phone number. You’ll have access to group communications, a church calendar, and news. You’ll also be able to see your giving history and print out a statement. In the coming weeks we will be sending out an email invitation to create a login to our new online directory program. The email will come from “noreply@ministrylogin.com” Our Office Administrator, Codey Morales, can help with questions.
Casa San Miguel Food Pantry
Canned veggies, like corn, peas or green beans have been difficult to get through Roadrunner Food Bank recently. Please consider bringing a few cans or maybe case lots that are available at Costco or case lot sales at other grocery stores. Brown paper grocery bags or empty egg cartons are always needed and so appreciated.
Immigrant and Workers Day of Action
February 3 at the State Capitol
On February 3, join a coalition of advocates for immigrants in Santa Fe for a “day of action.” The day begins with a breakfast at the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market. We will march from the Rail Yard to the Roundhouse for a Rally and visits to legislators.
​
Protecting the rights of our immigrant community has to be a priority for New Mexicans. There are several proposed changes to our state laws which can make a real difference for our neighbors. We encourage you to plan to spend the day with us in Santa Fe to make a difference.
Contact Mike if you’re planning to come and/or you would like to carpool.
