Easter Special Offering

Every Easter Sunday we have gorgeous, abundant Easter flowers decorating our altar and lots of additional musicians (larger choir, brass quintet, timpani) to make our service extra special. To donate toward both or either, please click the button below and fill out the form at the bottom of the page. You may make your donation “in memory of” or “in thanksgiving for,” and it may include your name or be anonymous. You can also fill out a yellow Easter Offering envelope (in the pews and at the entrances) with all the info as well and include a check inside. You may also email your attributions to Kathryn directly.

All donations are due no later than April 10!

Next Community Meals is April 27!

Thanks to the 3 people who have volunteered to bake cookies for April 27th. We have added an additional slot since we've been experiencing greater demand for food lately. We also need volunteers to prepare and distribute food on April 27th. We meet at 12 noon at Christ Church. Please add your name to the sheet in the Sign Up Center, or email Barb Schaper via the button below.

Did you notice our excellent new coffee?

StGs is delighted to now source our coffee from Aspire Coffeeworks!

Aspire CoffeeWorks was founded in 2009, a partnership that combined the work of Aspire, an innovative non-profit organization working with people with disabilities to shape the future of inclusivity, with the craftsmanship of Metropolis Coffee Company, 
one of the nation’s top artisan coffee roasters.

This creative and mutually beneficial partnership is one in which adults with disabilities on the Aspire CoffeeWorks team work side by side with employees on the Metropolis Coffee Company team. It’s a groundbreaking partnership and perfect example of how adults with disabilities can be productive and successful members of the workforce.

And just as exciting is the fact that 100% of Aspire CoffeeWorks’ net proceeds go back to Aspire’s services and programs! 

You can read all about Aspire’s excellent work here.
