Love is what started The Church of St. Michael & St. George in 1912 and why it thrives today - love of God, one another, and the world; and for this sacred place, which is woven into our lives through christenings, confirmations, weddings, funerals, holidays, and holy days. Through the wine and the bread, scripture read, prayers said. Thank you for your pledge!
Pledge cards are available online, at church, or contact Laurie at Laurie@csmsg.org. |
