Youth
Youth Ministry Middle Schoolers taking a break during Mission Week at Citygarden.
Thank you to all who participated in our Middle School and High School Mission weeks. Both were wonderfully successful and we appreciate the hard work and dedication of those who planned, participated in, and volunteered during these weeks! If you are interested in helping plan these for 2011 please e-mail Marty at youth@csmsg.org. Watch the bulletin board for photos!
Rising 10th-12th grade girls are invited to join a HS Girl's Bible Study that meets weekly on Tuesday mornings for breakfast before school during the school year. Any interested rising 10-12th grade girls are invited to e-mail Marty Chapman at youth@csmsg.org for more information!
Wednesday Night Bible Study and dinner will NOT be held in July. We will resume August 4.
Sunday School for all 6th-12th graders meets every Sunday in the Davis Courtyard from 9:30-10:00 AM. We would love to have you join us to read and discuss the Gospel for the day.

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 is an especially needful time due to the lack of 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. Beginning this fall, we are also offering a five-morning schedule for both classes. Our programs 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.
Valet Parking
Valet
service by Midwest Parking will be available on Sunday mornings for
elderly parishioners and those with special needs. This valuable service
is being provided by an anonymous benefactor. Thank you for this very
generous gift!
