This past week, Archbishop Anastasios of Tirana and Albania, one of the most extraordinary hierarchs of our time fell asleep in Christ. Memory Eternal. Our Metropolitan SABA's teaching this week is a reflection, titled Man of Resurrection

BOOK CLUB WEDNESDAY

On a cold, winter’s night is there a better way to spend time than at your church? This Wednesday and again on February 12th & 19th, we will gather for Vespers at 6:00 pm. After the service we will move to the hall and chat about our latest Book Club selection, The Mountain of Silence.  (For this week, read chapters six through nine.) 

CLERGY CHILI COOK-OFF & SOUPER BOWL OF CARING      

Get ready for some amazing food. Again this year the clergy are headed to the kitchen and preparing for the Great Chili Cook Off. It is next Sunday, the 9th. That is the day of the big game and the IOCC’s Souper Bowl of Caring. Plan to join us after Liturgy next Sunday for chili and vote your favorite. Ballots are available for a donation which will go directly to the Norwood Food Pantry as part of IOCC’s effort to feed the hungry.

OUTREACH  

All through February we are having a collection for Annie’s Closet, a local effort to clothe those in need. There is a marked box in the narthex for you to leave gently worn (excellent condition) coats and clothing. Note, some items, like socks, must be brand new and in the original package.     

PARISH LIFE CONFERENCE    

Each year in the Archdiocese parishes from the various regions of the country gather in the spring or early summer for services and fellowship and youth events. In New England this year, we are the host parish!  It is a one-day event on Saturday, June 21st. We have a draft schedule and a good group of volunteers to oversee the PLC. We are still in need of poeple to help organize and to provide support on the day of the event. See Father Joseph today and say, “Yes, I can help.” 

Donations to Saint George

Cash and checks may always be left at church. Offering envelopes for mailing are available in the narthex.

Scan the code and send donations to your church with Venmo.

You can also use your credit card or PayPal. This is a simple and secure way to set-up and make a pledge, make a special donation or memorial gift.
