Styrofoam ™ (expanded polystyrene, or EPS) is not accepted in our local recycling program, and sits in landfills for centuries. Its ingredients leach into us, our environment, and the creatures around us. Anglicans and Episcopalians worldwide have long been concerned with environmental issues. In celebration of the risen Christ and his lessons to us, CSMSG is taking the step to eliminate EPS, and reduce our plastic waste. As we pray, “Almighty God, make us always thankful for your loving providence; and grant that we, remembering the account that we must one day give, may be faithful stewards of your good gifts.” If you are interested in supporting our Care for Creation mission at CSMSG, please contact Laurie Brown at

JTM WOMEN'S MINISTRY FUND
Jan Torrisi-Mokwa was invaluable in enhancing the Women's Ministry at The Church of St. Michael & St. George, as well as founding the ECW Steering Council by lovingly guiding the group through a process that brought our value and mission statements to fruition. One of the ways that her memory will be honored is by establishing a fund to support the Women's Retreats that Jan so dearly loved. The money will be used to pay for retreat leaders, as well as provide scholarships for attendees. If you would like to contribute, please make your check payable to CSMSG and note "JTM Women's Ministry Fund" in the memo. Please contact Laurie Brown at
Laurie@csmsg.org
if you have any questions.
