Stewardship 2024 

Sunday, January 14, 2024 was National Stewardship Sunday

On that day, we kindly asked you to bring in your completed 2024 Stewardship Pledge Forms & offer to our Lord in prayer. Need a Pledge Form? They are available in the Exo-Narthex. A pledge or donation mailed to the Church is most meaningful when accompanied by your presence, by your willingness to serve, by your prayers and by your commitment

    "The rich man is not one who has much, but one who gives much.

     For what he gives away remains his forever" St. John Chrysostom

May our Lord's great sacrifice and many blessings be examples as He asks us to look out for one another and our beloved St. George Greek Orthodox Church
