2 Sunday Social: The Sunday social is held immediately after Divine Liturgy_ Donations appreciated. Sunday Offerings: As we begin a New Year, would ask you to reflect upon the weekly offering you are currently making to our parish. The financial needs of our parish are great. Expenses such as property insurance, snow removal, maintenance and repairs, along with electricity and gas continue to increase. Your weekly sacrificial offerings are the biggest way in which we can meet those obligations. Ask yourself, have increased my offering in recent years in order to help my parish keep up with its increased expenses? Am as generous as can be? n answering those questions would sincerely ask that you respond positively, in proportion to the gifts God continues to shower upon you. At a minimum, we are requesting that each person try to contribute at!east one extra dollar per week to the church. Even that seeming!ittle bit will go a long way in meeting our needs_ Thank you for consideration! Upcoming Events: Mark your calendars and plan to support and participate in the following events..
