SUMMARY:Stewardship Commitment Sunday
DESCRIPTION:“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart\, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.”               2 Corinthians 9:7 \nIn this verse\, Paul takes on the delicate subject of giving money to the work of the Lord. His phrase in English\, “as he purposes\,” is a single Greek term that only appears here in the Bible. It means a premeditated\, predetermined plan of action that is voluntarily done from the heart\, not impulsively. In other words giving should not be forced it should be from the heart. Giving should be quietly decided or determined within ourselves\, between God and us. God loves a happy\, cheerful\, hilarious giver. \nOn Sunday\, November 13th we shall take some time to consider what it means for us to be stewards today. During the next week everyone will be encouraged to prayerfully consider your gift of time\, talent\, and treasure to Christ’s work here at CSM for next year. On Sunday\, November 20th\, we will receive your commitment card for 2017.

SUMMARY:CSM Daytime Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The next meeting of the Central St. Matthew Daytime Book Club will be at 10 am on Thursday\, November 17 at 2410 Adams Street.  All are welcome!  For our meeting we will be reading Plainsong by Kent Haruf. The book is available at Amazon in Kindle and paperback and copies are available at both the New Orleans Public Library and the Jefferson Parish Library.  Below is a citation for the National Book Award. \n“Ambitious\, but never seeming so\, Kent Haruf reveals a whole community as he interweaves the stories of a pregnant high school girl\, a lonely teacher\, a pair of boys abandoned by their mother\, and a couple of crusty bachelor farmers. From simple elements\, Haruf achieves a novel of wisdom and grace–a narrative that builds in strength and feeling until\, as in a choral chant\, the voices in the book surround\, transport\, and lift the reader off the ground.” \nHappy Reading!!!

SUMMARY:Greater New Orleans CROP Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join the original Walk event in the United States! Fight hunger globally and in our local community. \nCROP Hunger Walks are community-wide events sponsored by Church World Service and organized by local congregations or groups to raise funds to end hunger at home and around the world. \nJoin Team CSM for our annual CROP Hunger Walk\nRegistration will begin 8:30 a.m. in front of St Charles Avenue Baptist Church and the walk which will be held in Audubon Park begins at 9:00 a.m. You may register online for Team CSM to walk\, or make a contribution\, or both. \nAbout the CROP Hunger Walk and CWS\nCROP Hunger Walks are community-wide events sponsored by Church World Service and organized by local congregations or groups to raise funds to end hunger at home and around the world. \nWhy should I register?\nHunger is one of the greatest injustices facing our world\, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Ending hunger is possible\, and it is possible in our lifetime. You can help make it happen. \nFor nearly half a century\, CROP Hunger Walks have ensured that more people worldwide have access to nutritious\, sustainable food sources. From combating droughts in Nicaragua to providing agricultural training in Indonesia to stocking shelves in hundreds of food pantries across the United States\, CROP Hunger Walks help end hunger by raising funds to support local food programs and the international anti-hunger work of Church World Service. \nStand with neighbors in your community who rely on food assistance programs. Partner with parents worldwide as they ensure a bright future for their children. Support those struggling in the face of grinding poverty and open up new doors of opportunity for them. \nTens of thousands of CROP Hunger Walkers are committed to building a hunger-free world. Join the movement! \nWhere do CROP Hunger Walk funds go?\nCROP Hunger Walks help to support the overall ministry of Church World Service\, especially grassroots\, hunger-fighting development efforts around the world. In addition\, each local CROP Hunger Walk can choose to return up to 25 percent of the funds it raises to hunger-fighting programs in its own community. \nCROP Hunger Walks help to provide food and water\, as well as resources that empower people to meet their own needs. From seeds and tools\, to wells and water systems\, to technical training and micro-enterprise loans\, the key is people working together to identify their own development priorities\, their strengths and their needs something CWS has learned through some 70 years of working in partnership around the world.
