Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
Why are the blue flags on our church lawn?
They represent the fight against colorectal cancer. March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable—but still deadly—forms of cancer when screening and early detection are missed. In Maryland, it remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, affecting thousands of families every year.
Recent estimates show that more than 2,600 Maryland residents are diagnosed with colorectal cancer annually and about 1,000 people die from the disease. It is currently the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the state, highlighting the urgent need for awareness, screening, and education.
The encouraging news is that colorectal cancer is highly treatable when caught early. Regular screening —such as colonoscopies or stool-based tests—can detect precancerous polyps before they develop into cancer. Health experts now recommend that adults begin screening at age 45, or earlier for those with a family history or higher risk.
Across Maryland, community organizations, health systems, and advocates continue to work to increase screening rates, reduce disparities, and save lives. Awareness and early action remain our strongest tools in the fight against colorectal cancer.
Join us on March 7 at the College Park United Methodist Church at 9601 Rhode Island Avenue, College Park MD for a flag installation ceremony to bring awareness to this disease.

Worthy to Serve
Many Christians feel insecure or ill-equipped for the work Christ calls us to do. All of us, whatever our status or skill set, are well worthy by these standards to serve God and God’s children.

Serving Who?
Service does not exist in a vacuum. Service always has an object; we must serve something or someone. Jesus calls us to be salt and light, not hidden away, but useful to our neighbors. These are the “good works” of service that God calls us to.

From Servants to Coworkers
As servants, we are not blindly following orders because we must but working with God for the building of the church and redeeming of the world.

receive Communion. There are no age requirements – children are invited to take
Communion if the parents wish, and they need not have been confirmed. There
will be liturgy that is call and response, bread will be broken, grape juice shared to
all who wish to receive.
