This Week's Announcements

Bowie Food Pantry Collection November 23
Our collection for the Bowie Food Pantry will be on November 23. This month they are most in need of canned tuna, condiments, pasta sauce, and beefaroni. Last month the pantry served almost 700 clients compared to an average month of 500. The need is growing. Thank you for your generous support!
 
Jacket and Outerwear Drive
From now through the end of November, we are collecting jackets, coats and other outerwear in support of the International Students Admission & Enrollment Office (ISAEO) of the Prince George’s County School System. ISAEO registers and provides support services for international students throughout the PGCPS system. You can help support these children and their families by donating new or gently used coats, jackets, and other outerwear such as fleeces and puffy vests (pre-school sizes through adult medium), as well as hats, scarves, and gloves. Please be sure any used items are clean and in good condition (zippers work, no missing buttons, no rips or tears, etc.). Donations should be placed in the bin in the narthex. For those who prefer, we are also collecting $25 Target gift cards to purchase other items students might need such as boots and uniforms; see Ed Neuschler to buy cards through St George's scrip program and give the cards to Randy or Donna Haselton. Please see Donna with any questions. Thank you for your generosity!

Angels of the Bible Advent Program Is Coming
“All Christians are called to ponder the impossible, to look between the worlds at the mystical possibilities that made the Incarnation possible. Angels brought the message about Jesus to Mary. Angels sang before the shepherds and appeared to Joseph in dreams. Let us find them amidst the pages of scripture and wonder at their variety and magnificence, for these are the messengers of God." - From Angels of the Bible: Finding Grace, Beauty and Meaning by Kate Moorehead with Scott Brown. This Advent and Epiphany we will use Moorehead's book to explore scriptural and artistic depictions of these messengers of God we call angels. Is your curiosity piqued? Sign up to receive a book and participate in the group reflections on our reading. The program will start the first week of December and will be held via Zoom at 7:00 pm on a weekday to be determined - tune in next week for the final details.
