UPCOMING MEMORIALS (Next 2 Weeks):
- October 18th - 10yr Memorial for Charles Antinopoulos
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONTINUES: Our first week of classes began on Sunday, October 4th. Its not too late to join your class. The difficult decisions to make all classes virtual for the time being was a consensus of the Sunday School teachers. Teachers will employ Seesaw and/or Zoom to conduct their class work, which should be done outside of the Liturgy. We realize this decision isn't ideal for every family, but its the best we can do at the current time.
PHILOPTOCHOS NUTROLLS: The ladies will be baking the last weekend of October with pickup set for Philoptochos Sunday, November 1st. An Order Form is included with this monthly Voice. More will also be available from Pauline Skeriotis during Coffee Hour after church for the next few Sundays along with another reminder in the next few Sunday Bulletins. All orders must be received by Sunday, October 25th AT THE LATEST. The order form has been added as a PDF to the end of this bulletin.
THE VOICE: The October Voice has been published and sent, if you did not recieve and would like to, please let us know. You can also access a digital version here on our website.
DRIVE-IN AT THE CHURCH: Join us October 16th for a Drive-In night at the Church. Our parish needs time to catch-up with our friends in a safe and comfortable setting. This is the perfect opportunity! Come for one showing or stay for both.
GOYA has kicked off another year. We hope that everyone has been receiving our text messages, if you have not, please contact Alexa Bovalino, Kathleen Marvin, or Fr. Anastasios. We will be having an outdoor & social-distanced event at the Marvin Home on October 18th at 4pm.
ORTHODOXY ON TAP TAILGATE: Mark you calendar for October 4th 25th, as we invite all of our young adults (18-35), to hang out after Church and enjoy a covid-responsible tailgate as the Steelers play in Tennessee at 1pm. More details to come this week.
THANKSGIVING BASKET COLLECTION: For 36 years our parish has come together to help put thanksgiving dinner on the table for many families. Last year we provided for 28 families. This year in addition to Sophia Chickos and Harriet Sickles, Nicholas Marvin will also be leading the collection. Please make checks payable to Holy Trinity. The baskets will be packed on November 21st and delivered on November 22nd.
Parish Council Elections Canceled: As of October 10th His Eminence Metropolitan Savas has extended all current parish council terms by one year. Parish Council members have the option to resign (as they always do) and the replacement of their position exists per the regulations and appointed by the rest of the Parish Council. Officers will still be elected by the Parish Council come January.
CHECK-IN VOLUNTEERS: In the current policies of the metropolis we are required to have a check-in person or team for every service. We are looking for additional volunteers who are willing to come a little early to check people in and, if able, to help sanitize after the services. Please contact Fr. Anastasios if you are interested in helping a necessary function during these times.
