Give To Grow Update
2010 Vestry Stewardship Statement
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroys and theives break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroy, nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
Matthew 6:19-21

Youth Chorister Camp
Director: Christi Bye
(Ages 5-13)
Building on the great success of last
Summer's camp, your
young singer will learn the fundamentals of music through choral
singing, movement, rhythmic games and crafts. The campers will prepare a
program to be performed at 11 AM, Friday, July 23, for their families
and friends. The Boy and Girl Choristers of the youth Chorister Camp
will rehearse and sing together for five days. In addition to working
hard, the life of a chorister is also very rewarding and fun and hard
work will be interspersed with fun activities. Participation in the
Chorister Camp will promote self-discipline, healthy self-esteem and an
ability to communicate articulately in the context of a group activity.
Choristers will enjoy learning musical skills, vocal skills, and general
rehearsal techniques.
To
register, go to www.csmsg.org/music/stcecilia
and follow the links for "Chorister Camp."

Faith in Action Hunger Ministry Food Levels Critical
 Please help fill the increasing need for canned and packaged food in the St. Louis Food Pantries. Any varieties of canned and dried foods are greatly needed. The supply of canned foods is extremely low. Help is needed now. Soap, laundry or dish detergent, toilet paper, tissues and paper towels would also be welcome. Summer- time is especially needful due to less school meal programs. Pick up a yellow bag near the receptionist's desk, fill the bag with this month's items and return it to the church or bring your donation in any box or bag. Can you help in other ways? Contact Becky Zaccarello 314.721.4565.
Volunteer Opportunities |
Bulletin Board
Altar Guild
We invite you to deepen your spiritual life and connection to the liturgy by becoming a member of the Altar Guild. This ministry is dedicated to the service of God by lovingly preparing the altars for services. Many hands are needed, weekdays and Sundays, to care for the linens, candles and silver. Contact Betsy Panke: 314.993.6487 or epanke@aol.com.
Summer Singing Opportunity
Once again this summer we will form an adult parish choir to sing the 10 AM liturgy each Sunday morning. Every Sunday through September 5, the parish choir will meet promptly at 9 AM in the choir room to prepare the music for the morning liturgy. Some choral experience is desirable and ability to read music is necessary. There is no expectation of an ongoing commitment; singers may join us for the entire summer or just one week. If you like to sing and would enjoy contributing to the parish's worship in this way, please join us!
Pre-primary enrollment has begun
for fall of 2010
We are currently accepting applications for our parish's two pre-primary programs: 16 months-24 months on Thursday and Friday mornings from 8:30-11:30 AM and 2-3 years on Monday through Wednesday mornings from 8:30-11:30 AM. Both classes are taught by degreed teachers and have proven quite successful since their inception. For more information, call Carol at 314.721.1502.
 Pictorial Directory Update
Due to miscommunication between our database system to the Lifetouch
computer system, we have had a long delay. The good news is we have just completed our fifth and final proof and have gone to print. We will let you know once the directories have arrived. Thank you, very much, for your patience!
