Support the Youth Mission Trip!
The mission trip is coming up in less than six weeks and the youth group will be headed to Savannah, Georgia the last week of June. We appreciate the current and previous support from the parish. So far, our fundraising includes the Mardi Gras silent auction, parents’ night out, the pancake supper, the bake sale, and the June 2 car wash. Other ways to support the youth group are to attend the post mission trip dinner on July 28 at 5 pm in Miller Hall and to buy a raffle ticket to win dinner for eight with Bishop Mariann. The tickets for the dinner are $15 and the tickets for the raffle are $10. We will be selling them in the narthex from now until the post trip dinner, where we will announce the raffle winner. Many thanks and hope to see you there! Car Wash Rescheduled for June 2 The weather foiled the original plans for the Youth Group fundraising car wash, but it has been rescheduled! Sunday, June 2 starting at 11:30 am the youth will lead the car wash right outside the church. Cost is $10. All proceeds go to the Youth Mission Trip to Savannah, Georgia June 22-29. Bible Study on Ruth and Esther Starts This Monday There are 156 Sundays in the three year cycle of the church readings (the lectionary) - and a total of 3 readings from the Book of Ruth and the Book of Esther show up. Which means you may not know much about either of these books of the Hebrew scriptures. But you can change that by participating in a Monday evening bible study this spring. The books are quite short but raise themes of loving-kindness and suffering, identity and foreignness, empowerment and reversal. If this sounds interesting to you, join us on Mondays at 7 pm starting May 20. The first and last sessions of the study will be in person and the others will be via zoom, so come to the church May 20 at 7. You can speak to Karen Horrocks, Terry Doyle, Jocelyn Tidwell or Connie+ with questions. There is a sign up sheet on the credenza - sign up today! 2024 Pride Events in June • Join St. George’s on Saturday, June 1 at 12 noon for the Annapolis Pride Parade.
