The Feast of St. Michael, or Michaelmas, is traditionally celebrated on September 29. It is often associated with the harvest and is the Christian equivalent of the Autumnal Equinox. It marks the time when the days grow shorter and darkness increases as we edge into winter. We ask St. Michael’s protection as we summon the courage to bolster our inner strength and seek to balance our inner light with the outward darkness of the season.

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.
