Ministry News

The hot number in the news is 2000–the next century just around the corner. But the number to remember when you think of CSM is 1149. That's the special number assigned to Christian Stewardship Ministries by the Combined Federal Campaign. Civil servants and members of the military can designate 1149 to receive their charitable contribution and give to CSM at the office for the first time ever.

Many thanks to the bowlers who joined CSM October 16 for our marathon bowling tournament. We had a great time for six hours and raised $12,000 for the ministry. We especially appreciate the hard work of the bowling committee–Bob Fredericks, Gordon Klooster, Teri Phelps, John Reyle, Clint Smith, Pat Smith and Ron Zabel.
