ST. GEORGE'S SUNDAY The generosity of the parishioners of The Church of St. Michael & St. George is vital to the continued vibrancy of our church. Each April we celebrate a special group of people who have chosen to support CSMSG in their planned giving. These members of St. George’s Society have made gifts or future commitments to our endowment fund. This fund is vital to the future of our parish as it helps eliminate annual operating deficits, insures timely implementation of our strategic plan, and sustains the church’s mission during difficult economic times.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the members of the St. George Society. Membership in this group continues to grow. Parishioner and St. George Society member Jeff Miller recently introduced a new approach to planned giving called Extend Your Pledge. We invite you to watch the video below as Endowment Committee Chairman Ed Ellerman and Jeff Miller explain this idea.
If you have questions about including CSMSG in your estate plans, contact Alexis Posnanski, Director of Stewardship & Giving at aposnanski@csmsg.org or 314.721.1502, ext. 4044.

EDUCATION EQUITY MINISTRY COLLECTION CSMSG’s Education Equity Ministry is collecting monetary donations to provide toiletries to families of students at Sumner High School in St. Louis City. Over the summer months, many families have less access to services. By sending students home with a box full of toiletries for the summer, we are helping fill that gap. Donations for purchasing supplies may be made online via Realm or by check to the Church of St. Michael & St. George. Please note For Education Equity Ministry on the check.
Since its inception in March 2021, the CSMSG Education Equity Ministry has partnered with Sumner High School to identify barriers to online and in-person instruction. We help administrators at Sumner connect with agencies in our community to provide services needed by students and families. The school has praised the ministry for its recognition that education equity extends outside of the classroom. For more information about this ministry, contact Mary Ann Cook at microann@outlook.com.

CHOIR RECORDING ARCHIVE For the past year, the CSMSG Choir has been recording hymns and anthems for our online services of Morning Prayer. Now we are live streaming our 10:00 AM Holy Eucharist each Sunday and, though the choir is not present, they continue to record a hymn and anthem for the day which can easily be accessed by going to the CSMSG homepage at www.csmsg.org.
This is a great spiritual resource and a wonderful way to stay in touch with the work the choir is doing. Please take some time to check out the sizeable archive of recordings now available.
