PRAISE GOD FOR...

  • Ruth Shane and Ray Padron who coordinated CSM’s recent strategic planning session, which resulted in plans to produce a training video for LMS leaders, and for Carl Meyer, Clint Smith, Jim McIlvaine, Steve Skancke, Nancy Schabacker, Rickey Bolden and Ray Padron who are making production possible.
  • Mary Blanton, our new ministry coordinator who replaced Krysti, and for Elizabeth Olsen who helped us during the transition.
  • Our prayer warriors whose ongoing intercession undergirds all that CSM does.
  • God’s faithful provision for CSM’s financial needs each month.
  • The continuing growth of the LMS study and the increasing participation of pastors, who are proclaiming the class to be a life-changing experience.
  • The increasing number of donors to the ministry and those who have pledged regular monthly support.
  • Our wonderful office volunteers–Spence Kawamoto, Myrna Harris, Cheryl Davis and Betsy Prettyman. Their help has been especially welcome during our office staff transition.
  • Churches supporting CSM this past year, including Truro Church, Church of the Apostles, The Falls Church, McLean Presbyterian Church, All Saints Episcopal, The Triumphant Church, Christ the Redeemer Episcopal, Hope Christian Church, Bethlehem Baptist Church, St. Mary's Episcopal, Ashburn Methodist, Valley Bible Church, and Victory Fellowship Ministries.

PRAY FOR...

  • Continuing financial provision for CSM through churches, businesses and individuals–especially for more monthly pledges.
  • God to raise up LMS leaders and draw students to LMS classes whose hearts are prepared to begin to put Biblical principles in place in their lives.
  • Broad participation in the upcoming Bowl-a-thon and the CSM annual banquet.

Volunteers + Volunteers + Volunteers

Without our wonderful volunteers CSM's ministry would not be possible. We cannot thank you enough for all you do. We pray we haven't overlooked any of those who have served so faithfully. If we missed you, please forgive us and let us know. And if you'd like your name to appear on this list next year, we would be delighted to have your help. Please call the CSM office at 703-591-5000 to volunteer.
