Just a few things I wanted to mention:
 
First—THANK YOU—for participating in our Commitment of Treasure Weekend.  I know that we will have some more responses that will come in after I have written this note.  We were (the Commitment Committee) very happy with the participation.  I trust you will help us to meet the needs around us.  We also learned from you some things that will help us in the future.
 
Second—Y’ALL COME—please join us for the last event of our 25 ^th Anniversary celebration: the One Voice Chorus concert on Saturday, November 18.  With some of our own singers joining friends from all around Richmond, the One Voice Chorus makes glorious music and have been a part of our St. Michael family for many years now.
 
Third—ADVENT—is just around the corner, and a lot is coming.  In early December, we will be holding an open house at our new building, the Lake House.  On that first weekend of December, we will be starting the next Bluegrass Concerts Series, as well.  And then there is our own special celebrations of the Knights of Columbus Spaghetti Dinner and the Advent Concert by our own choir on Friday, December 8.  Along with events such as St. Nicholas and the Christmas Tea, it will be a glorious beginning to our New Church Year.
