CONSTRUCTION ON CANTERBURY ROAD

 
 

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ

WATER LINE CONSTRUCTION ON CANTERBURY ROAD

UPDATE ON ROAD CONSTRUCTION

The ongoing road project to install new water lines in the Budleigh Neighborhood will continue along Canterbury Road one block at a time until it reaches Wade Avenue.

Currently, Carolina Civil Works is working on the 1500 block of Canterbury Road. We have been in contact with them to discuss the best route to access the church. Please be mindful of the following:

  • Outside of the workday (9 a.m. — 5 p.m.) and during the weekend, traffic may travel on Canterbury Road without interruption. It will be slow going and drivers must navigate around signage and construction.

  • The intersection of Lewis Farm Road and Canterbury Road will be closed 2/24-2/25. reopening Wednesday, 2/26. Moving forward it will be best to avoid Canterbury Road from Wade Avenue to the church. Paving of the 1500 block of Canterbury Road should take place within the week. The best way to approach the church is via the Glenwood Avenue. 

Please know we are aware of the situation. We are in communication with the city and we will keep you updated as we get information. Please be patient, drive slowly and with caution and allow extra time for travel.

Love God, Love God’s World

Nine-week program Jan. 6-March 10

Love God, Love God’s World is a film-based curriculum, ideal for Episcopalians anywhere on the journey with creation care and environmental ministry. You will learn in the company of friends about both the scripture underlying this ministry and the many opportunities to practice it. It is our hope that attendees will be inspired to pursue individual and collective action on creation care and eco-justice.

St. Michael’s will offer this nine-week program beginning Monday, January 6. It will continue every Monday through March 10. We will meet at the church from 6-7:15 p.m. Any adult who is a member of St. Michael’s is welcome to join. We are looking for members who can attend each session, so preference will be given to them. If you are interested in participating, contact one of the course facilitators below by Dec. 20.

St. Michael’s Gift to RALT

 

Parishioner Ruth Scott being interviewed by CBS 17 reporter Baron James.

 

St. Michael's has received some nice press covering our recent gift to the Raleigh Area Land Trust (RALT), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for first-time homebuyers. With a $300,000 donation from St. Michael’s, we have forged a historic partnership to tackle Wake County’s affordable housing crisis. RALT will build 18 permanently affordable homes in the Idlewild neighborhood. This marks the first-ever collaboration between a faith-based organization and a community land trust in the county.

To learn more about our gift, read the Rev. Greg Jones' recent epistle.

Hurricane Relief Update

Western NC Relief | November 2024

The first three pictures are from the load-in activities on Saturday morning Nov. 16. We had numerous volunteers that helped load six vehicles, including 3 pickup trucks (one with a box trailer) and three SUVs! We departed for Episcopal Church of the Epiphany at 11:30 a.m. Church of the Epiphany (in Newton, NC) serves as a resource bank receiving donations that they forward on to other Episcopal Churches in the mountains that supply and goods directly to impacted people.

Twelve volunteers drove out (two per vehicle), arriving at that church at 2:30 p.m., where we were greeted by four volunteers from Church of the Epiphany and also another nearby Episcopal Church -- Church of the Ascension, located in Hickory.

These photos show the unloading process at Church of the Epiphany.  Based on feedback received while there and the next day via text, the Diocese of Western NC is extremely grateful to St. Michael's for coordinating and delivering these much needed supplies and "looks forward to partnering with us" in future missions that may be needed for years to come.

In addition, St. Michael’s collected $7,590 in donations to the Helene Relief effort in WNC. Father Oscar Rozo, who serves as the Missioner for Latino Ministries at Church of the Epiphany is extremely grateful for our generous donations!
