St. George Society

St George, one of our patrons and the patron saint of England. Tradition holds that St. George was a Christian Roman soldier who was martyred at Lydda (now Lod, Israel) under Diocletian’s persecution of Christians. He became known as ’The Great Martyr’ in the East. During the Middle Ages, George was held up as a ideal of valor and selflessness. In art St. George is usually depicted as a knight in armor with a scarlet cross on a white background.

The St. George Society honors those past and present who made provisions for the Endowment Fund of The Church of St. Michael & St. George. According to our records, the following individuals are members of the St. George Society. If your name is not included on the list , or a correction needs to be made, please reach out to Alexis Posnanski at aposnanski@csmsg or 314.518.1478. This parish gives thanks for those who have given from their earthly treasure to provide for the work of this parish beyond the span of their lives!

CAN YOU HELP MAKE MASKS?
The women of St. Francis in Eureka, MO have received a request to sew COVID-19 masks for St. Luke’s Hospital in Chesterfield, MO and are asking for help in meeting this request. The need is great and we know we can count on the good people of the Episcopal Diocese to help. The volunteer coordinator at St. Luke’s stated they will need 5,000 masks per day within the next couple of weeks.  More info

Mary Beth Tipton is working with the Transition Center of St. Louis also in need of masks. To help, email her at mtipton@csmsg.org.
Michelle Gurrola Burks
SUNDAY YOGA CLASS
Parishioner Michelle Gurrola Burks will be teaching a 55-minute class to be held online at noon on Saturdays through May 23 at 12:00 PM.

Michelle has attended the 8 AM service at CSMSG for 18 years. She and her husband Jack were married at the church 3 1/2 years ago. She has taught yoga for 20 years and can be found at IMAYOGAGIRL on Instagram where she leads yoga challenges. Michelle is a LuLulemon ambassador. 

A yoga mat is helpful, but not necessary, a non slippery spot with no socks will work fine too. We look forward to seeing you all this Saturday!

FROM THE CHOIR ROOM:

What do you miss right now? 

Like everyone in the world at the moment, the choir is doing our part to remain as positive as possible through these trying times. It didn't take long for us to each realize how much we miss preparing and singing weekly services, as well as the fellowship time that comes with these times together. Making music together and leading worship for the church feeds all our souls in a way that can not be replicated. 

While we can't be together "feeding" each other in person, that doesn't mean we can't still be connected! We are continuing to meet together on Thursday evenings - our night for rehearsing in normal times – only now we're meeting up via zoom! While it's no substitute for being together to create music, it does give us a time catch up, share about our week, laugh together, and remind each other how much we look forward to being back at CSMSG soon!

One of the most fun experiences of the past couple of weeks in quarantine has been the sharing of Spotify playlists of all the music we're missing, like this one celebrating Eastertide:  https://spoti.fi/3buoif5 .  I hope you are finding solace in music, as those of us in the choir are until the time at which we can safely lead worship again.  

"God be with you till we meet again;
When life's perils thick confound you;
Put His arms unfailing round you;
God be with you till we meet again." 

Peace to all,

Andy Martin
