AM I REQUIRED TO DONATE MONEY AT WORSHIP?

There is no monetary requirement to worship at CSMSG. Most people find, however, that as they develop a deeper relationship with God and become more involved in ministry and community offerings, giving to the Church becomes a very natural next step in their Christian lives.

CAN I TAKE COMMUNION? HOW DOES IT WORK?

All baptized Christians of any denomination or tradition are welcome to receive Holy Communion at CSMSG in any service. When the usher instructs you to do so, walk forward toward the altar. To administer communion, a priest will take their place.  Communicants will form a single file line with each communicant spaced six feet apart. Communion will be distributed in one kind. The common cup will not be offered. The priest will drop a wafer into a communicant’s cupped hands. Anyone who presents themselves and does not offer outstretched cupped hands will not be communicated.

ARE THE CLERGY CONSIDERED MINISTERS OR PRIESTS? HOW SHOULD I ADDRESS THEM? REVEREND? FATHER? MR. OR MS.?

There are three orders of clergy in The Episcopal Church: deacons, priests, and bishops. Even though it is not grammatically correct, many address priests and deacons as “Reverend Smith” or “Reverend Kathy” and “Deacon Smith” or “Deacon Kathy”. At The Church of St. Michael & St. George, some parishioners still use the term “Father” to address the male clergy, and some address the female clergy with “Mother”. The best way to know how to address the priests at CSMSG is to simply ask how they would like to be addressed. Chances are, it will be on a first-name basis!

CAN I MEET WITH A PRIEST?

Of course! All the clergy at The Church of St. Michael & St. George believe the opportunity to meet with you is a privilege.  Go to our staff directory for the clergy contact information.
