Stewardship Season is underway at St. Michael’s! Over the coming weeks, we’ll be inviting every household to prayerfully consider its financial commitment to the mission and ministry of our parish in 2027. Pledge cards, or online pledges may be returned at any time during the campaign. We will bless the gathered pledges on All Saints Day, November 1. Thank you for your generosity and for helping us plan faithfully for the year to come.

Gallery St Michael in the Pavilion will be selling crosses and nativities (off-the-wall, i.e. to take home that day) to benefit Immigration Ministries in our parish. The heart of this sale is the large collection of Adele Davies, and parishioners are invited to go through their own collections to add to the sale. Bring crosses and nativities to church or the Landing by November 10 to be part of the sale.

The “Classics” Senior Ministry will meet in the Pavilion. This meeting will feature a presentation Ms. Tina Cordova representing the Downwinders Victims. Ms. Cordova just recently addressed the United Nations about the radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons testing in New Mexico. Everyone is welcome at these meetings   (and you don’t have to consider yourself a senior) and please bring someone with you.

A Citywide Assembly will be held on Monday, November 9, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

What does it look like for people of faith to work together for lasting change in our communities?

A coalition of congregations, schools, non-profits, and neighborhood organizations from across Albuquerque and Northern New Mexico is coming together to form a new broad-based, non-partisan community organization through the Industrial Areas Foundation, one of the nation's longest-running networks of community organizing groups.

Organizers describe this as "a different kind of politics," rooted not in parties or election cycles, but in relationships, leadership development, and collective action. The goal is to help everyday people identify shared concerns, build power together, and work for the common good in their communities.

 The location will be announced later. This gathering will introduce the emerging organization and provide an opportunity to learn more about community organizing efforts across New Mexico.
