Fellowship Hour
Please welcome Fr. Gregory Floor who will be celebrating Liturgy today with us. Make sure to stay for Fellowship Hour to say hello and thank you!
Please sign up for Fellowship Hour. Get together with friends and family! Fellowship Hour is an important part of our liturgical experience, like the Agape Meal of the early Christians.
Changes in Church Protocol
Because of the lifting of the mask mandate by the governor and the city of Concord and the revised protocols of the CDC, we will no longer require people to wear masks. Naturally, if you would feel more comfortable wearing a mask, you are welcome to do so without any judgment. Please try to keep some distance; the tapes will, however, be taken away. Also, we will no longer use napkins at Holy Communion; again, if you would like to continue using a napkin, they will be available as you approach the chalice; please take one on your own.

June Greek Dinner to Go
You are invited to enjoy another Greek Dinner to Go from Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church (68 North State St., Concord).

The price of each meal is $15. Pick up is Sunday, June 13 at the church from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm. The cut off date for ordering is Wednesday, June 9.

Re-Catechism Sessions
The Re-Catechism Program is an ongoing ministry to help our Parish Family grow in a deeper understanding of our faith. Each segment of the Program lasts more or less 8 sessions (we meet every other week) and covers a discussion of a wide range of topics. Among other topics we have discussed the lives of some of our contemporary saints and have discussed the text The Church in the Modern World, thinking about ways the Church is and should be addressing modern problems.
At our next session this Tuesday, June 15 at 7:00 pm. We will continue learning about the Jesus Prayer, using Frederica Matthewes-Green small but packed book The Jesus Prayer: The Ancient Desert Prayer that Tunes the Heart to God. The Zoom linke will be sent out later.
On-Line Book Club
We have our new book, Wounded by Love, by St. Porphyrios. Our next meeting is on Thursday, June 10 ay 7:30 pm. If you are interested in joining our discussion, please speak with Father about getting getting the link.
Grave Visitation
Because Father will be away over Memorial Day, there will be no grave visitations that day. However, if you would like Father to visit your family graves, please tell him. There will be grave visitations for those who have made prior arrangements on Saturday, June 19 (Saturday of Souls) after the Liturgy and Memorial Service.

Please Remember the Poor
Thank you to everyone who very generously helped our poor brothers and sisters with blankets and food during the winter. Please remember that the warm weather does not bring an end to the plague of homelessness and hunger! Our little church pantry is bare; Holy Week and Pascha is a perfect time to do some Lazaros shopping and help restock it.
We also need items for the Blessing Bags (there are more bags waiting to be taken and given away!): deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo/conditioner, lip balm; hand sanitizer, and granola bars.
May God bless your generosity!
On-Line Giving
Because of the strange circumstances we find ourselves living through, our Parish, although blessed by God in many ways, suffers from a particular shortage of income during the summer months. Your consistent offering of your Stewardship each month will be an enormous help to get us through this summer slump. The easiest and most consistent way to do this is by having your Stewardship given automatically each month. Please go to our website (www.holytrinitynh.org); in the upper right hand corner (of each page!) you will find the link to make your monthly contribution. You can also use this link for other contributions to the parish, such as candles and trays, especially if you prefer not to handle cash. Thank you for your generosity and making sure we are able to serve you throughout the whole year to the glory of God!
