St. Michael’s Day Drive-Thru Edition

Good Morning Everyone!

I am Laurie Brown and welcome to the special St. Michael’s Sunday edition of SGN. I have Some Good News for you regarding our plans for St. Michael’s Day on September 27th!

Here are the highlights:

Who:
All CSMSG parishioners are invited.

What:
Celebrate our patron saint, St. Michael, safely from our cars. Enjoy the bagpipes, collect fall programing information, drop off donations of groceries and household products for the needy, collect communion for home distribution if you are unable to attend services and more!

Where:
It's all happening at the church. Line up for the parade along Ellenwood Avenue heading east towards Forest Park. The lineup begins in front of the Rectory. The cars will travel along the church property, around the curve to Wydown Boulevard. Follow Wydown to the playground area.

When:
Sunday, September 27th at 11 AM

How:
Parishioners are asked to wear masks, stay in their cars, roll their windows down and drive slowly around the church. To receive a fried chicken box lunch and/or a home communion packet please rsvp by September 23rd at *REGISTRATION LINK* 
OR call Becky Arthur at 314.721.1502.
Featuring:
*Bagpipes
*Fried chicken boxed lunches
*Fall programming handouts
*Children's Ministry packets for the kids
*Food collection for Last Days Apostolic Church
*Blessing of the parishioners
*Youth Ministry fun
*Andrew, Peter, Tom, Stewart Clem and James the custodian!


Watch this very raw video to see how the parade will process. I think you will agree Kyle Tallman’s Sunday service recording job is secure. I will not be quitting my day job to become a videographer!
Frequently Asked Questions:
1) What if I attend the 10 AM service? 
We ask you to park along Wydown on the opposite side of the street from the church. There will be no parking along the perimeter of the church. After the service hop in your car and head over to Ellenwood Avenue to join the parade.

2) Are masks required?
All parishioners are asked to wear masks in their cars. All volunteers around the parade route will be masked.

3) How do I get my communion packet? 
The Holy Communion packet table will be located along the parade route. Only those who have registered for a packet will be able to pick one up. 

4) Should we decorate our car? 
All parishioners are encouraged to decorate their cars. The best decorated car will receive a prize!

5) What is the purpose of the St Michael’s Drive-Thru? 
To bring everyone back to church to celebrate our patron saint just like we usually do on St. Michael’s Sunday. Come fly the flag for your church!

6) If I attend the 10 AM service, do I need to register for the parade? 
Yes, you do need to register IF you want a box lunch.

7) Do I need to bring anything to the parade?
Yes, please bring groceries, household items or masks for the Last Days Apostolic Church.
Rosetta Jackson and her family will be at the parade collecting donations for their food pantry. Be sure to stop by and thank her for all she is doing for those in need. 

I hope to see everyone at the first (and hopefully last) St. Michael’s Sunday Drive-Thru edition on September 27th! Contact me at Laurie@csmsg.org if you have any questions.
