Introducing the St. Michael’s Wish List
There have been numerous occasions when people have wanted to support St. Michael’s by giving a gift in memory of someone or in celebration of a special event. A few months ago a member of the Vestry suggested we develop a “Wish List” for such gifts. These are things that are not in our normal operating budget, but which would be helpful for us to have. So, the next time we have such an offer from someone, we will be able to provide this list of options!
If any of you can think of anything else we need, or if you would like to make such a gift, or if you have any questions about why we could use something on this list, please contact Marjorie or read the WISHLIST HERE.
We’re So Glad You’re Here
You don’t have to do this alone.
