For we offer ourselves fully to you in worship and praise. † Hymn O Master, Let Me Walk With Thee UMH #430 † Prayer To You, O God, we lift up our souls. To You we offer our praise and prayer, our worship and thanksgiving, even our very lives. Make Your ways known to us. Show us the path on which we should walk. Lead us in Your truth and teach us. For You alone are the God who saves, the God in whom we trust; and the One on whom we wait.

Pastor Steve is Preaching A Sermon Series on “Treasure” November 2 November 9 “How to Give” “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing” Matthew 6:1-6 Matthew 6:25-35 FALL BACK NEXT SUNDAY Don’t forget to set your clocks this Saturday night/Sunday morning, November 2nd, to “fall back”. NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS October 26, 2014 OCTOBER IS LAMB CENTER MONTH AT ST. GEORGE'S Our congregation supports the Lamb Center and dedicates the month of October for collecting much needed items. Paper shopping bags with the list of needed items have been distributed to the congregation. Please use the month of October to fill a grocery bag of needed items and drop off in the Fellowship Hall. ST. GEORGE’S STEWARDSHIP 2014 Treasure: Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21 Money affects your heart. Whether you are in plenty or in want, money has a direct connection to your stress level, your anxiety, and the health of your relationships. It is no wonder, then, that Jesus talked about the relationship between our treasure and our hearts. For a four-week period starting October 19, we will look at the many ways that our treasure (time, energy, money) affects our spiritual and emotional lives. Join us in worship starting this Sunday as we begin our new sermon series called Treasure. We will explore Matthew 6 and Jesus’ teachings on money, giving, worry, and more. At the end of the four weeks, we will have an opportunity to make personal commitments of our offerings to God through our church in the coming year. We will receive commitment cards in the mail, and cards will be available on Sunday mornings. We will bring these commitment cards to worship on Sunday, November 9. I hope that you’ll join us in the coming weeks as we look at Jesus’ teaching on how we can avoid freedom from some of the common pitfalls related to money, and how we can give our lives and our treasure to God. TURNIP HARVESTING St. George’s, we have a wonderful opportunity to harvest turnips on Saturday, November 1st. The Society of St. Andrews is hosting its annual Turnip Festival in Winchester, VA where volunteers will harvest a field of turnips. So, instead of gleaning what is left, we get to pick the whole crop for the food pantries in our area. There will be picking, chopping and fellowship. If you are interested in attending this mission, please sign up during fellowship hour and after the service in the narthex. ADVENT WREATH We need people/families to assist in our advent services by lighting our advent wreath and leading the provided liturgy. If interested, there will be a sign-up sheet on the Welcome Desk in the Narthex!
