This Week's Announcements

Bowie Food Pantry Collection This Sunday
The collection for the Bowie Food Pantry is this Sunday. For the month of June, the Bowie Food Pantry has a short list of needs: pasta sauce in 24 oz jars, pasta noodles, condiments (ketchup, mustard, and salad dressings), and toilet paper. Thanks for the way St. George’s supports the Food Pantry. They are very grateful!
 
Support the Youth Mission Trip!
The mission trip is coming up at the end of the month 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 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!
 
Bible Study on Ruth and Esther
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. Learn more about these books 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. Join us on Mondays at 7 pm. You can speak to Karen Horrocks, Terry Doyle, Jocelyn Tidwell or Connie+ with questions. The next meeting is Monday, June 10 via Zoom HERE.
