Grandparents Sunday September 15

Grandchildren bring your grandparents and grandparents bring your grandchildren. The Church of St. Michael and St. George is holding Grandparents Sunday on September 15, 2019. All grandparents and grandchildren are invited to participate in this special morning of worship and activities.

Grandchildren: If your grandparents aren't parishioners, invite them to spend a morning with you at CSMSG attending chapel and participating in Church School. If your grandparents are members, show them what you do every Sunday while they are attending service. If your grandparents are unable to attend, you are welcome to invite a relative, godparent, or special friend. You also may volunteer to accompany a grandparent whose grandchildren are unable to attend.

Grandparents: If your grandchildren aren't parishioners, invite them to experience a morning at CSMSG by attending our Church School with you. If your grandchildren are members, let them show you what they typically do on a Sunday while you are in the service. If your grandchildren are unable to attend, you are welcome to bring a relative, godchild, or special friend. You also may volunteer to accompany a child whose grandparents are unable to attend.

The morning will include attending Children's Eucharist in St. George's Chapel, participating in a short version of Church School curriculum, and enjoying snacks together in the Taylor Room. Please join us and share your faith with your family. To RSVP use the link below or email Mary Beth Tipton or Amy Zimmerman. You also may email Mary Beth or Amy to volunteer to accompany a grandchild or grandparent.
