Food Pantry Collection
‘Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in; Naked, and you clothed me.’ Matthew 25:34-36
- Please, contact us if you would like to be part of the Food Pantry Ministry and help those in need in our community. There is an ongoing, continuous collection of food, toiletries, water, and cleaning supplies. Bring your donation to the kitchen area on Sundays or any other days after notifying us with a phone call.
(Special thank you to our Philoptochos for replenishing the food pantry with food and toiletries bags.
And for the school supplies for a local elementary school and needy children).

+ It is impolite and disruptive to fellow parishioners to take phone calls or text during services
+ Please, set your phone on silent!
+ Since we all have phones/tablets we have the digital text for services in our ebulletin, USE THEM to follow the services and participate. Please, remember, the services of the church are not spectator sports which we attend to be entertained. The fullness and richness of the services require group participation. And our own spiritual growth benefits when we participate with our “whole souls … our minds” and our bodies. So participate! (For your prayerful consideration: Worship in the Orthodox Church by Rev. Fr. Thomas Fitzgerald, GOA and "Oh Lord, I have Loved the Beauty of Thy House: How We Should Conduct Ourselves in Church)
