STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN
It’s common for churches to see what’s been thoughtfully (or painfully) coined “the summer giving slump,” when giving declines for most churches between the months of May and August. Many churches like CSMSG see a 20% or more decrease in giving during these months due to members being on vacation, going to BBQs, traveling with family, etc. You can help CSMSG avoid the slump in two ways:
   * Pay your pledge in full now, instead of at the end of the year;
   * Send in those pledge payments you will miss while you are away this summer. You may give online at anytime from anywhere. Go to www.csmsg.org , click on Stewardship, then click on Give Now. In spite of the slump, God is at work at CSMSG this summer! We are gearing up for what is sure to be a spectacular fall. Thank you for your support!
Did you know that the Hunger Ministry was started over 30 years ago when Ed Salmon (then the Rector) asked Franklin Ferriss and his wife Nancy to start a ministry to assist people in St. Louis with meals on a regular basis? The Hunger Ministry supports four food pantries with financial assistance , and two of the four receive food directly.
