As you probably have noticed since the creation of the Alleluia Fund in May of 2021, many updates and improvements have been happening here at The Church of St. Michael & St. George. The Alleluia Fund is an ongoing fundraising campaign to provide money for projects outside the Church’s regular operating budget. As of November 20, 2024 the Alleluia Fund has raised 831,478.10. Funding for the projects helps us continue to strengthen both our physical and spiritual Episcopal identity. We strive to preserve and improve our church building as we expand our efforts to welcome and minister to our parishioners and to our community for generations to come. If you have questions about contributing to The Alleluia Fund or other stewardship efforts at CSMSG, please reach out to Alexis Posnanski, Director of Stewardship and Giving at 314.721.1502, ext.4044 or aposnanski@csmsg.org. Thank you for sharing God’s abundance with CSMSG!
