THE GOOD GROUND THAT BEARS FRUIT
Friends,
Sometime our best efforts bear little fruit, and we wonder why? The Gospel of the Sower gives us an answer. Three out of four attempts by the Sower of Men`s Hearts (the Lord Himself) come to naught.

At this time of year, we are coming to the Election of those who are willing to meet to discuss and make decisions on behalf of our Parish. This is our Mission and Ministries Committee. If you would like the honor and privilege of serving in this way, please come forward and let me know. According to the Universal Parish Regulations (UPR), you must be a Steward (Tithing member) in order to be a leader in the Community. This applies as well to any position of conferred leadership in the Parish. While everyone is invited to attend and participate in the discussion of the direction of our Community, it is only those who exercise their faith to the degree of Stewardship, that may actually vote and make decisions for the Parish.

Encouraging all and asking your prayerful consideration of your participation,

Father Parthenios
