FOCUS ON OUR CHURCH FAMILY

Celebrations, Milestones, Gratitude, Comfort & Support


Pastoral Care: If you or someone you know is sick, homebound, elderly, or scheduled for surgery, please contact the church office to notify us so Fr. John can make a pastoral visit or add them to the prayer list.


In Our Prayers, “Pray for one another that you might be healed.” (James 5:16): Magda, Palestine, Melanie, Alexa, Brenda, Alina, Elijah, Ahmad, Aris, Stefani, Andrew, Sarah, Olga, Koula, Jera, Raymond, Elijah, Joyce, Lennon, Margarida, Dionysia, Dino, Alexandros, Paul, Angela, Sarah, John, Julianna, Elias.


Names will remain on this list for approximately 3 months. Please resubmit Names if needed. Fr. John will include the submitted names in the Psokomide “Offering of Gifts” during Matins, when he prepares the mystical gifts of bread & wine. Our Prayer Partners Ministry members pray for these persons daily. Please also lift these names to the Lord in your personal prayer life.


Prayer for healing: Heavenly Father, physician of our souls and bodies, who has sent our Lord to heal every sickness. Visit and heal us. Grant patience in this sickness, strength of body and spirit, and health recovery. Lord, You have taught us to pray for each other that we may be healed. We pray that You heal, guide, and protect your servants (pray by name for those who are sick) and grant them the gift of complete health. You are the source of healing, and to You we give glory, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Happy Wedding Anniversary! To Maria & Brian Holahan, and Stella & Apostolos Fisfis, who are celebrating this week.
