MARILENA'S MEALS:
"I was hungry and you fed me."
Matthew 25:35
Our Marilena's Meals program at St. George feeds those in need in New York City. We meet downstairs in the church hall to prepare meals and then travel together to locations in NYC to distribute them. Volunteers are welcome to help with preparation and/or distribution.
Preparation of meals usually runs from 10:15am - 11:00am in the church hall. We aim to leave the church by 11:45am. Distribution of meals takes place from approximately 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm. Volunteers are transported to Penn Station (or another distribution location).
Please see May Vlachos or Marilena Lekas, or email May at marilenasmeals@gmail.com with questions, or to sponsor (or partially sponsor) a month.
Thank you to Bombas socks and Melina Morris for their generous sock donation (www.bombas.com). Socks are one of the number one items that are requested. Thanks to Bombas and Melina, we will be distributing at least one pair of socks with every meal this year.

PROSPHORO (offering bread)
A prosphoro (Greek for offering) is a small loaf of leavened bread used in Orthodox Christian liturgies. The term originally meant any offering made to a temple, but in Orthodox Christianity it has come to mean specifically the bread offered at the Divine Liturgy (Eucharist). We are blessed at Saint George that Kyria Dina Manos bakes prosphora for us as needed. This is a very special ministry and we thank God for Kyria Dina's service to our church.
WINE FOR HOLY COMMUNION If you would like to offer wine to be used for the preparation of Holy Communion at Saint George Church, you are welcome to do so. The sweet wine that we use for Holy Communion is Nama Byzantino.
