 Sunday School

We have EXCITING news!  Starting in February 2023, we will be offering Sunday School twice per month; the first and third Sunday of each month.  We explore ways to love, learn and serve through story-telling, singing, crafts, and reading scripture, and we enjoy a snack!   Sunday School follows the 10:00 service and lasts approximately 45 minutes.  All ages are welcome to attend.

To read about more fun activities coming up, visit our Sunday School page!

Common Grounds is a vital part of Christian Education at St. Michael’s in the Hills.  Almost every Sunday after the worship service (Sept. through May), adults are invited to the Fellowship Hall following the 10 am service for presentations of spiritual, cultural and social topics.  It’s also a time to enjoy coffee and fellowship with one another.

January 29: More Toledoans Helping Ukraine

Alona Matchenko, Ukrainian studying law at the University of Toledo, founded Toledo Helps Ukraine, which recently partnered with Promedica to raise funds to ship donated medical and other supplies to Ukraine.  THU is also aiming to help resettle refugees from the war here.  Jim Trumm, native to Toledo and Ottawa Hills, is a supporter of THU and also recently volunteered to drive a truckful of supplies from London to the Polish border for another organization with Toledo ties. They have great stories to share and opportunities for involvement.  Check out the website to learn about Alona’s organization, and ways to donate time or service.
