*Prosphoron NEEDED for this Sunday:  Please let Father know if you are able to bake one.

*The Prosphora is the bread offered by people of the Church for commemorations before the Divine Liturgy. It is from this bread that a special portion called the Lamb is removed and prepared during the Proskomedia service before the Divine Liturgy.  It is this portion that is consecrated at the time of the Anaphora, and it is also from this that we receive Holy Communion. Therefore, it is not something that only the priest or a select few people make.  It is intended to be an offering from many people of the Church.

*Trapeza Team this Sunday:

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Naomi Spaulding has volunteered to coordinate a Cleaning Schedule for the Fellowship Hall.  If we have enough volunteers, each person/family would have a scheduled week every couple of months, so one could plan in advance.

*Naomi says...

It would also be nice to do the cleaning with another family, for safety reasons, for fellowship, and for getting the work done faster. So, I am creating a cleaning schedule. The more people who volunteer, the more the burden will be shared. I will try to schedule two families/volunteers together, and when it's your week, you can chose any day before Sunday to do the cleaning, so that it fits into your plans. I will also try to have checklists so you will know what needs to be done, and cleaning supplies. 

If anyone has any suggestions for cleaning that needs to be done, how to organize things, or issues they have when cleaning, please email me and let me know. Please email me with your phone number and email, if you're willing to help. And finally, please let me know if you have any restrictions, such as only being able to come early in the month, or anything else. I want to make this as convenient as possible for everyone!

Thank you in advance for your help,

Naomi Spaulding

* A Reminder: It has been our long-standing policy and practice that during Confession, House-calls, and Visitations, Father requires that a third adult to be present while still maintaining the appropriate privacy during Confession.  It is also our policy that during Confession we are not asked to reveal details of a personal or private nature.  It is possible to discuss issues that we may be struggling with, but the real intent is to try and identify the motivating factors that cause us to err, and then to seek reconciliation. This may also involve the recomendation to seek appropriate professional help.

If you would simply like to meet with Father for a visit outside of confession, a preffered place would be a local coffee shop :-)
