"I have loved you with an everlasting love." Learn the thundering message of God's love for us as we study the prophet Jeremiah under the direction of Fr. Mike Wheeler. All women are welcome to attend these study sessions at 7:30 AM in the Sverdrup Room, for nourishment of the body (light breakfast) and soul. We will finish by 8:30 AM. There will be no Bible Study April 26.   

"Where your treasure is, there will be your heart."
                                                    Matthew 6:21
Often when the Bible introduces a new character, he or she is holding something they treasure. It may be money, a weapon, a net, or a relationship. They hold it tightly because with this treasure, life seems secure and hopeful; without it, they feel vulnerable and lost in a harsh world. It is not surprising that Jesus said, "Where your treasure is, there will be your heart."

Thank you for sharing your heart with The Church of St. Michael & St. George!

As of today, we have received 356 pledges for a total of $1,789,230. Our goal is $2,000,000.


Wonderful stories are unfolding in our church every day: Stories of faith, devotion, and love for our neighbors. Great things truly are happening here. But if we're to continue with great things, if we are to continue to grow, your help is needed.

Please pick up a CSMSG business card(s) from the "planters" located in the Narthex and Great Hall. "Plant" one in the hand of a friend who is looking for a church and to be a part of a wonderful story. We need your help to help us grow!

This Week

Help the St. Michael's mission trip to Nicaragua with the three T's:  Travel-size toiletries, toothbrushes, and toothpaste.
 
Do you, your friends, and/or your co-workers travel? Don't
forget to save (unopened) hotel toiletries for the 2013 mission trip to Nicaragua. Missioners take toiletry bags of soap, shampoo, lotion, toothbrushes, and toothpaste to the patients at the women's and children's hospital in Managua. Last year, we distributed over 300 bags of these helpful hygiene packets.
 
Toothbrushes and toothpaste go to the kids at the Santa Rosa and Carolina de Sirker schools for healthy and bright smiles! Perhaps your dentist has extras?
 
All donations can be dropped off at the Nicaragua donation closet, located across from the church library. 

The Nicaragua Mission Wish List 2013 is posted on the "Faith in Action" bulletin board.
 
We'll be packing "second suitcases" to Nicaragua on July 13.
Gracias!

Stop by the Canterbury Bookstore to select that special gift for your confirmand. Confirmation will be on Sunday, April 28. Silver and gold-filled chains and crosses, Bibles, prayer books and devotionals, along with many other gift ideas, are on display right now.

The Episcopal Handbook is the indispensable companion for those who want to be well-informed churchgoers and would also enjoy a good chuckle along the way. This little volume contains timeless theological truths, interesting historical tidbits, and everyday faith situations we all meet sooner or later. Included is a glossary of Episcopal worship terms, illustrations, maps, and tips for 21st century Episcopalians.

Ethics After Easter by Stephen Holmgren focuses on questions all people of faith must ask: "How will I keep my baptismal promises? How am I meant to live 'after Easter'?"  In developing a distinctively Anglican approach to ethics, with its emphasis on holiness, sanctification, and the need for spiritual disciplines, Holmgren identifies clear axioms for Anglican moral theology and the ethos required for moral decisionmaking on the part of individuals and church bodies.

The Oxford Guide to The Book of Common Prayer is the first comprehensive guide to the history and usage of the original Book of Common Prayer. It shows how a seminal text for Christian worship and devotion has inspired a varied family of religious resources that have had an influence far beyond their use in the churches of a single tradition.
