Susan Mount Luncheon

The Susan Mount Guild, which is dedicated to fellowship, hospitality and Christian service, was established in 1927 to honor Miss Susan Mount, whose anonymous gift established St. Michael and All Angels churches which merged the next year to form The Church of St. Michael & St. George. 

The September luncheon will be Monday, September 12, beginning with Punch Bowl (socializing) at 11:30 AM and lunch at noon. After lunch, Alison Wiedle will speak about the Honor Flight program which takes WWII veterans to Washington, D.C. free-of-charge. All parish members are invited to join us the second Monday of each month for good food, fellowship and interesting speakers.

Tuesday, September 13
Church Service League
The Church Service League will open this year's activities with a program, "Haiti: Rebuilding the Cathedral After the Earthquake."
Cheryl Ward, Diocesan Chair for the Rebuilding Effort, will cook a Haitian meal and talk about the project. Haiti is the largest diocese in the Episcopal Anglican Community and also the fastest growing. With the destruction of the Cathedral much of the activity was put on hold. We have an opportunity, along with other dioceses to help insure that the work of the Haitian Diocese can continue.

If you wish to attend Bible Class with Mike Wheeler, it begins at 11 AM. Otherwise, lunch ($7) is served at noon followed by the program at 12:30 PM. Contact Aleda Littlefield 314.872.9010 if you have any questions or would like to let us know you are coming.
