Worship with Us
Fall is arriving, and with it, the season that marks the beginning of school and the start of our program year is here.
This year, however, is going to be different than past years. Because of the Coronavirus pandemic, we are taking measures to keep our congregation and our wider community as safe as possible. We are regularly worshipping online. Each Sunday morning, the video service of Morning Prayer is available by 10:00 am. The printed service bulletin is emailed out on Fridays and is also available under the Worship in Time of Coronavirus tab on our website. The video for Morning Prayer, as well as our past services, is available online at our YouTube channel, which you can subscribe to here. Sunday's service will also go live on our Facebook page by 10:00 am. The video will be available for viewing anytime afterwards.
We have begun worshipping in-person at least once a month for those who want to participate. All who gather must wear masks, practice physical distancing, and follow all guidelines. Our in-person worship services are outdoors, and our next one is celebrating St. Michael's Sunday on September 27th. Stay tuned for more details. We are looking forward to being together in prayer and celebration of 65 years of St. Michael's.
We continue our ministry of love in action at St. Michael's, as well. We are supporting God's Pantry, feeding those who are hungry in our community, especially students. We are studying together - our Zoom groups gather weekly. Several of our small groups are gathering in-person in our Garden - wearing masks and physical distancing for all in-person gatherings. If you are interested in participating in our ongoing ministries during this time, please subscribe to our online newsletter.
Our church building is also open for private prayer Mondays through Fridays for those who would like to come sit in holy space and pray. We ask all who do to wear a mask and honor physical distancing while in the church building. The building may be closed to communal worship, but the Church is open - it is in each home, each person who believes hope, life, and love win, and each sacrifice we all make to ensure the health and safety of our neighbors. We as the people of St. Michael's continue to be the church as we stay healthy at home until we gather again. Stop by Mondays through Fridays 10:00 am until 2:00 pm, when the Church Office is open.

About Us
St. Michael’s was built on the “holy hill” of southeast Lexington in 1955. Today we worship and serve in a thriving neighborhood that includes the Arboretum, Trader Joe’s, Landsdowne Center and the venerable Lexington restaurant, Ramsey’s.
While location, location, location is important in real estate, we know people are always more important, especially when it comes to church. Our congregants range from founding members to Lexington newcomers; life-long Episcopalians and people new to Christianity; singles, married, and partnered; babies and active seniors. Together, we gather to worship, laugh, grieve, pray, celebrate, and serve both God and neighbor.
You'll find out a lot about us by exploring this website and even more by joining us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Thinking about joining us for worship? We'd love to meet you - dress how you feel comfortable and yes, we are really open and affirming. We do use the Book of Common Prayer, which may be a new experience for some guests. We pray together, sing together, learn together, and love and serve Jesus together. And we'd love for you to join us in our diverse faith community.
