"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it." A joyous and blessed Christmas to all our Guardian Angel community near and far.

A huge thank you to our wonderful community. So much love shown and shared today! On Friday we set up for the Gift Giveaway. This morning we gathered for worship and fellowship, and remembered our dear friend the Rev Ed Scott from St Andrew's Glenwood. And then this afternoon we opened the doors to our beloved friends. Lots of fun for children upstairs while their adults chose gifts for them downstairs. Anyone who has not yet collected a gift and who is signed up for the main list or the wait list should contact Fr Steve as soon as possible to arrange pick up.

Church of the Guardian Angel is so grateful for our community partners who donate their time and money to our weekly Wednesday food pantry. Thanks to generous donors like Sage Title Group, we feed over 150 people each week. If you'd like to volunteer with our food pantry, please message us or call our Food Pantry Director, Michael Brown, at 410-929-1495.

Where does your donation go?

First of all, thanks for your interest! The short answer is that the two biggest budget items, by far, for the Church of the Guardian Angel are living wage for our two part-time staffers and food for the food pantry.

Here's a link to our donation page https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=2SNPMK7DUYU9C , which does unfortunately have a fee. We're also happy to take checks or cash if you come by in person. 

To go into a bit more detail, the parish has a half-time rector, Fr. Steve Holt, and our Food Pantry Director, Mike Brown, also works for us part time. He's re-inventing the role since taking it on a few months ago, so he's still working out what it actually means in terms of hours. 

In addition to individual donations and contributions from other area congregations, we also receive support from the Diocese of Maryland and from Baltimore City HUD's Community Development Block Grant. That latter one is used exclusively for the Food Pantry Director's salary. 

In many ways, money is fungible. But because of those two support streams, an accurate way to think about it is that donations to our general fund mostly go toward buying food to distribute at the food pantry and operating expenses like energy, water, internet, and pest control that support all the users and uses of the buildings and grounds (the food pantry being the most intense of those uses). Liturgical expenses like candles and communion wafers are a small sliver, and we also support or particpate in a handful of other programs and events around the community. 

We're grateful that you're considering supporting our work especially now. In the beginning of 2023, we expect our costs for the food pantry to increase sharply. The MD Food Bank received federal pandemic relief funds and used that to discount or completely cover the food they provided to us and many other area food pantries, but those funds are running dry.
