Stewardship

 Stewardship is the lifeblood of our St. George. Without your support of Time, Talent & Treasure, we cannot have a church. Your voluntary contributions are critical to its maintenance & operation. If you have not filled out a Stewardship/Pledge form, please do that from your heart & to the best of your ability. 

“Let everyone give as his heart tells him, neither grudgingly, nor under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (II Corinthians 9:7) 

January 15, 2023 was National Stewardship Sunday

Please use this link for your 2023 Stewardship Form

Life happens in the community, and it takes our entire community to continue the life of our St. George Greek Orthodox Church! Thank you to all our faithful and loyal stewards for  your continued support
