This Week's Announcements

Bowie Food Pantry Collection This Sunday
Thank you St. George’s for the extremely generous donations for the Bowie Food Pantry in February. They were amazed by the amount of food that was brought over to them. In March, the needs are a little different. This month they would like condiments such as salad dressing, BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, and mustard. They can also use canned beefaroni, canned tuna, and peanut butter and jelly. Please bring in your contributions by this Sunday, March 9. Thank you so much!

Warm Nights Collection This Sunday, March 9 and Next Sunday, March 16
It’s Warm Nights time again! This year, St. George’s will provide 100 lunches and 100 breakfasts on two separate weekends for the guests served in the Warm Nights Program. That is a total of 200 breakfasts and 200 lunches. The lunches will be made on Saturday, March 15 and Saturday, March 22. The Justice League asks for your help to provide some of the non-perishable foods.
  Here are the needed items:                          • Packets of oatmeal              • Breakfast bars
    • Multipacks of chips or salty snacks         • Cases of water                      • Shelf-stable milk
Financial contributions are also welcome so we can purchase the meat, cheese, bread and fruit that are also needed. Supplies will need to be brought in by Sunday, March 9 or Sunday, March 16. There is a sign up sheet in church on Sunday so you can sign up for whatever you can provide. If you have any questions, please see Peggy Alexander. 

A Spring in the Desert Lenten Education Program
This year's Lenten devotional is called A Spring in the Desert: Rediscovering the Water of Life in Lent. The daily devotional takes up the theme of living water, exploring topics and spiritual practices that nourish us. Gather on Monday nights via zoom at 7:00 pm HERE through April 28 (skip dates March 31 and April 21). See Terry Doyle, Karen Horrocks or Connie+ for more information. 

Pray with St. George's Youth Group this Lent
Are you considering a Lenten prayer practice? The teens at St. George's recorded a service of Morning Prayer (Discernment) and Evening Prayer (Vespers) for the season of Lent from the resource Daily Prayer for All Seasons. The audio file for these prayer services and the links to follow along the liturgy can be found HERE.
