Services in Green Phase
The Metropolis of Pittsburgh is now in the “Green Phase” or Intermediate Phase of the Coronavirus Restrictions. We are still moving forward and we are still moving safely. There are four important changes to consider in this new phase. Change number one allows our seniors back to liturgy. Change number two, allows us to have 50% of our church capacity attend liturgy, spaced appropriately. For us, that means we can be back to our regular Sunday attendance. The third point reminds us we are still required to wear face masks. The last item is a reminder that we will still not have a choir. For a more complete understanding, please pick up a copy of “The Road Ahead” Green Phase guidelines, if you have not already done so.

GOYA Thanksgiving Baskets
GOYA will be collecting donations for their annual Thanksgiving basket fundraiser. Donations will be accepted starting now, until November 15. Please see any GOYA member, Rikki Kamarados, or Maria Matzorkis to donate. You may also donate by mailing it to the church, with “Attn: GOYA” on the envelope. All checks can be made out to “Holy Trinity GOYA.” (Unfortunately, any other donations other than monetary are not able to be accepted this year.)
Elections Postponed
His Eminence Savas has postponed all parish council elections for all parishes in the Metropolis of Pittsburgh. This means that all term limits have been pushed back one year, and those who are presently serving will continue to serve until our elections in 2021. There are copies of his letter to the parishes regarding this on the candle stand.
Volunteers Needed
On Monday, November 2, come give a couple of hours of your time, and help with preparations for the gyro sale.
