Church Cleaning We will do our autumn cleaning on Saturday, 31 October, starting at 10:00am. Please come with cleaning supplies and energy. The more of us there are, the sooner we`ll finish.

IOCC Dinner St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Albuquerque is hosting a fund-raising dinner for IOCC (International Orthodox Christian Charities) on Saturday, 14 November. Tickets are available from D.J. Nickles. See him or Fr. Demetri for more information.

Adult Education We will not meet during the month of October mainly due to conflicts in scheduling with our catechumen for whome the course is essential. We will meet again in November on a day to be determined. Please let Fr. Demetri know if Tuesday or Wednesday evenings are preferable to Thursdays. We will continue reading "The Orthodox Way" by Metropolitan Kallistos Ware.

St. Elias Online Bookstore We have an online bookstore for our use. Go to our website: http://www.stelias.nm.goarch.org and click on the link to the St. Elias Bookstore at the top of the page. You will be taken to the Orthodox Marketplace, an online store for Orthodox books, jewelry, icons, and most anything else you may want. We will receive a 10% commission on all purchase made at this site.

Recycling for St. Elias We have found another outlet for used toner cartridges and inkjet cartridges, and this company will pay us directly for what we give them. When it`s time to get a new cartridge, please bring the used one to church, in its packing if possible, and we will recycle it. Every bit that we recycle means more funds for our parish. Please help with this free and painless way to raise money and protect the environment.


Do You Know? If you know of people who are sick, or in the hospital, or need help, please tell Fr. Demetri so he can minister to them.

Stewardship Everyone should have received a pledge card in the mail. Please fill it out and return it to the church by the end of the month. If you have not received one, please pick up a stewardship card, fill it out, and begin to make whatever payments you can afford. The community relies primarily on stewardship to pay the bills and conduct our ministries to God`s people. Please do not let us down.

Iconography If you would like to contribute to the Iconography Fund and help us get closer to the next phase, feel free to leave a check or cash in the Iconography Donations box at the foot of the icon of St. Irene.

Albertson’s Community Partners Cards The new cards are available and are on the candle table. Please pick one up and use it whenever you shop for groceries at Albertson’s. We get money back for each dollar we spend there when using our cards.
