This Weeks Announcements

​Jacket and Warm Clothing Drive
From now until the end of November, we will be collecting warm clothing, primarily 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 PGCPS students and their families, and has been very busy this fall registering students from migrant families. In particular, ISAEO has seen an increased number of families coming from Venezuela; many of these families arrive with almost nothing, and especially need clothing appropriate for Maryland winters. You can help support these children and their families by donating new or gently used coats and jackets (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 which can be used to purchase other items students might need such as boots, socks, and uniforms; see Ed Neuschler to buy cards through St George's scrip program and give the cards directly Randy or Donna Haselton. Please see Donna Haselton if you have any questions. Thank you for your generosity!

Stewardship Season
It is our time of reflection on what God has given us and what it means to take the next faithful step in our giving – also known as Stewardship Season.  The stewardship packet will be available in person or via mail for you to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest as you consider your pledge for 2024 and above and beyond giving to the Ensuring St. George’s Future fund.
This morning we hear a stewardship reflection from Josephine Ross.  Many thanks to Josephine for sharing her thoughts with us this season.

Save the Dates - More 150th Celebrations!
There are a few other special events being planned to celebrate St. George's 150th anniversary this fall.  On Sunday October 29 there will be a presentation on St. George’s History, including the history of the land that the church is on and how it came to be the site of our building. Also, on Sunday November 19 during the 10:00 am service there will be a celebration of 150 years of music at St. George's.  Finally, on Sunday December 3 at 4 pm there will be a special concert followed by a reception in Miller Hall.  Mark these on your calendar now.
