The Forum will then be in recess until January 5, 2014.

On Christmas Day this year, The Church of St. Michael & St. George will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first worship service held here.

During the service 100 years ago, Bishop Tuttle pointed to all areas of the church and said, "The angels of God are here.  In the years to come those who worship here will remember the love and devotion of those whose gifts and works have helped to establish this mission, and in every nook and cranny they will feel the presence of the angels of God."

 "May we who worship here a century later remember", John Tyler in his book, Centennial 100 Years at the Point.  Your "gifts and works" have helped to continue the mission of our church. Thank you for your pledge.

As of Monday we have received 287 pledges for a total of $1,464,707. The goal is $2,200,000. Each and every pledge makes a difference.

If you want to make a pledge and need a pledge card please contact Laurie Brown at Laurie@csmsg.org or 314.721.1502. Pledge cards can be found in the pews, Great Hall, or Narthex.

"Celebrating Our History, Insuring Our Future"

Planned Giving at CSMSG

Planned Giving is a term for the number of ways in which parishioners can insure that their stewardship efforts continue after their death by making a gift to the Endowment Fund. If you care enough about your church to make a faithful annual pledge, contributing to our Endowment Fund should be a natural next step. If you are interested in more information about making a planned gift to CSMSG, please visit our website at www.csmsg.org for more information, or contact the Rector's Office at 314.721.1502.

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 CSMSG is to continue with great things, if we are to continue to grow, we need your help.

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