For their Mission Project, St. Matthew's 2009 Confirmation Class decided to collect breakfast cereal for the Bowie Food Pantry. For a three week period, the class asked the congregation to donate a box of cereal.  Members piled boxes in the Narthex as they came for Sunday Services.  Later in the day. the class moved the cereal to Rev.  Dick Stetler's office for storage.  The class challenged the congregation to donate so much cereal that Dick Stetler wouldn't be able to get into his office.  They almost did it.   The class collected a little over 500 boxes of cereal.

Congratulations to our newest members, the Confirmation Class of 2009, who were received into membership on May 31.
