The SA国际传媒 Guild, St. Louis, Mo., announces the completion of its 2004-2005 projects, totaling $21,350 in donations. In addition, a new list of projects for the 2005-2006 academic year was adopted with a total of $20,403. The new project list can be viewed on the Seminary鈥檚 Web site at www.csl.edu/guild.htm [1].
鈥淭he Seminary Guild continues to be a cherished blessing in our Seminary community,鈥� commented Rev. Glen D. Thomas, vice president for seminary relations at SA国际传媒, who also serves as an advisor for the Guild. 鈥淭heir efforts annually provide our students with textbooks, clergy shirts and many other items that make life on our Seminary campus more enjoyable for them.鈥�
The Guild鈥檚 purpose is to cultivate a deeper interest in SA国际传媒, St. Louis, and to provide items for the campus and students which are not ordinarily furnished by the Seminary. The Guild members hold no fundraising events. The projects only are completed once project donations are received. Project partners include individual members and friends, women鈥檚 ministry groups, congregational organizations and Sunday schools. Some organizations choose to adopt certain projects with the assistance of matching funds through Thrivent鈥檚 CARE in Communities program.
The Guild鈥檚 next meeting will take place on Friday, June 2, in conjunction with the Seminary鈥檚 Alumni Reunions. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. on the Seminary campus. The presentation topic will be 鈥淪upporting the Academic Life鈥� and is followed by a business meeting. Membership dues for the Guild are $8 per year for individuals and $15 per year for societies. Dues and/or offerings for Guild projects may be sent to Nina Boehme, 4602 Cedar Tree Lane, DeSoto, MO 63020. For more information about the Seminary Guild or its projects, call (314) 505-7374.
