STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN
It’s common for churches to see what’s been thoughtfully (or painfully) coined “the summer giving slump,” when giving declines for most churches between the months of May and August. Many churches like CSMSG see a 20% or more decrease in giving during these months due to members being on vacation, going to BBQs, traveling with family, etc. You can help CSMSG avoid the slump in two ways:
   * Pay your pledge in full now, instead of at the end of the year;
   * Send in those pledge payments you will miss while you are away this summer. You may give online at anytime from anywhere. Go to www.csmsg.org , click on Stewardship, then click on Give Now. In spite of the slump, God is at work at CSMSG this summer! We are gearing up for what is sure to be a spectacular fall. Thank you for your support!
Did you Know: Every month, the Community of Hope visits hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, and parishioners' homes? During the month of April, the dedicated group:
   -Put in 154.5 hours
   -Made 101 visits
   -Served 433 people
We thank you for your continued and important service!
