Celebrating Our History, Insuring Our Future
Planned Giving at The Church of St. Michael & St. George: Planned Giving is a term for the number of ways in which parishioners can ensure 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 for more information, or contact the Rector's Office at 314.721.1502.

THIS SUNDAY, March 20
Holy Week Preacher
The Rt. Rev. Michael Marshall will be our guest preacher. Make plans to join us as we worship the risen Savior.
Passion Vespers
5 PM On Palm Sunday afternoon the Choir of the Church of St. Michael & St. George will sing a service of Passion Vespers. This liturgy, akin to the Christmastide services of Lessons and Carols, is a service of exceptional beauty that couples the spoken word with poignant seasonal music. The readings are selected from Scripture, the ancient Church Fathers, and modern-day poets and are interspersed with music, sung by the Choir to illuminate the texts. This is a meaningful way to begin the solemnities of Holy Week, and all are cordially encouraged and welcome to attend.
All liturgies and a full-length notice may be downloaded from our website, www.csmsg.org. Go to service leaflets or "This Sunday" to download the pdf files for the liturgy and notices. A condensed printed version of the Sunday leaflet and notices will be available at all services.
