STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN CO-CHAIRS Longtime parishioners Carl and Frankie Eichenberger will lead the 2022 CSMSG Stewardship Campaign as co-chairs. Carl is a current member of the Vestry. Frankie serves on CSMSG’s Faithfully Forward strategic planning committee and played an integral role in the transition of CSMSG’s Business Administrator position. Dedicated members of the church for more than ten years, Carl and Frankie exemplify the meaning of generosity and sharing God’s abundance with CSMSG.
Alexis Posnanski, Director of Stewardship and Giving, is grateful for the Eichenberger’s commitment to this year’s Together We Give stewardship campaign. We appreciate the steadfast dedication and generosity of the 292 households that pledged to our church last year despite the challenges we faced individually and as a parish. We move forward with a renewed focus on increasing the number of household pledges to not only reach our pre-pandemic pledge number of 330 pledging households but increase beyond that level as our church continues to grow and evolve.
If you have questions about the Together We Give campaign or other stewardship efforts at CSMSG, contact Alexis Posnanski, Director of Stewardship & Giving, at 314.721.1502, ext. 4044 or aposnanski@csmsg.org.
