Download the PDF "Where Our Money Goes"

The 2019 parish-wide survey results are in! Thank you to the 231 parishioners who completed the survey. We are displaying the results of the survey and the focus groups on the wall in the main hallway. We’ll also be including specific answers in upcoming e-newsletters and notices.

Did you know that “Advent” comes from the Latin adventus which means “coming”? Advent is the start of the liturgical year and is a time of preparation and waiting for the celebration of the birth of Jesus. We display an Advent wreath made of a circular garland of evergreen branches as a symbol of God’s eternal love. Four candles are arranged on the wreath and one is lit each Sunday during Advent. The candles mark a different aspect of our expectant hope as we await the coming of the light of Christ into the world.

A CANDLELIGHT SERVICE OF ADVENT LESSONS AND CAROLS at 5 PM. A wonderful and meaningful way to usher in the season of Advent is through the service of Advent Lessons and Carols. This service, originally composed by The Very Reverend Eric Milner-White for use at King’s College Chapel, Cambridge, proclaims in word and song the promise of God to redeem the world through the Advent of His Son. The metaphoric procession through the liturgy – from darkness into light – is intended to prepare the worshipper for the coming of the true Light, Jesus Christ. Please plan to join us and be a part of this beautiful liturgy to mark the closing of the day as we begin a new liturgical year.

Contact Laurie for more information at Laurie@csmsg.org or 314.721.1502.

UTO (UNITED THANKS OFFERING) INGATHERING: As we herald in the season of Advent, we prayerfully prepare for our Lord Jesus Christ and the remembrance of his birth in a lowly stable. Let us reflect on all that God has done for us through his son Jesus Christ. During our reflections, let us bless others with coins in the Blue Box. “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” Psalm 100:4

WOMEN'S WEEKEND RETREAT: The Rev. Susan Guthrie will lead us in retreat entitled; Dark Love: Meeting the Beloved at the Empty Tomb .

The retreat begins at the Mercy Center on Friday at 5 PM and ends on Saturday afternoon. Brochures will be in the mail soon. Contact Laurie for more information at 314.721.1502 or Laurie@csmsg.org .
