STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN
It’s common for churches to see what’s been thoughtfully (or painfully) coined “the summer giving slump,” when giving declines 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
our website,
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 that the majority of the stained glass windows here at CSMSG were done by Emil Frei, Sr., a Bavarian who moved to NYC in 1895? He found his way to St. Louis (and its large German population) and opened an art glass studio in 1898 on South Broadway. He won the Grand Prize in the 1904 World’s Fair for stained glass he created for the Holy Family Church in Watertown, NY. He became the pinnacle of the art of painting on glass; on his great reputation, he was commissioned to undertake the mosaic design for the
Cathedral Basilica on Lindell Boulevard.

JTM WOMEN'S MINISTRY FUND
By now, you've heard the devastating news about Jan Torrisi-Mokwa. Jan 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.
