Annual Fund Payments
2026 Annual Fund Goal Surpassed!
We are thrilled at the outcome of our 2026 pledge campaign and thank everyone who contributed!
You pledged, now what?
If you did not pre-pay or set up automatic payments, please read this.
We have discovered that within the new REALM system, pledging and giving are separate options. If you have pledged and wish to fulfill that pledge with a credit card or bank account, please use the link below to schedule the gifts in order for your pledge to be fulfilled in 2026. You will be prompted to log in to REALM and schedule the amount of your pledge as you would like (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, or all at once). Thank you so much for your generous financial support of St. Michael's and your patience as we navigate this new system together! If you need to be reminded of your pledge amount, or have any questions, contact Josey Kasper (kasper@holymichael.org).

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
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.

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.
