+Beautiful gifts from anonymous parishioners+
“Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men.
Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.”
+ Jesus Christ, the Son of God (Mt. 6:1-4)
New traditional brocade coverings in the Narthex
Coverings for the candle stand and analogian (icon stand) in the parish Narthex
New purple Acolyte Sticharions (Altar Server Tunics)
From Riza Orthodox Vestments of the Serbian Orthodox Church
During the Lenten periods, the vestment colors are to be dark (dark blue, purple, dark green, dark red, and/or black)
The Acolytes are in need of a new and refreshed light colored set of Sticharia (tunics) for the periods outside of Great Lent.
Please contact Fr. Paul (frpaulgirgis@gmail.com; 239-348-0828) if you are interested in making an offering toward this goal or simply do so by “earmarking” your gift before placing it in the offering tray or candle box.
