ORTHODOX BOOK CLUB Our Orthodox book club will return next Sunday (September 27th) at Nancy Houghton's house with Part II of Bread & Water, Wine & Oil. Please see Ian or Fr. George for more details or driving instructions.

Old Chicago Pizza Palz Old Chicago Pizza Palz are back! Purchase a gift certificate for $11 from the Philoptochos and receive a Large pizza of your choice at Old Chicago (up to $22 value). See Julie Powers today to make your purchase!

GROCERY CARDS Philoptochos is selling grocery gift cards in $25, $50, & $100 denominations for Safeway & King Soopers.  The cards are used like cash when groceries are purchased. Philoptochos makes money from the sale of the cards which is used for national, metropolis and local (church & Boulder County) philanthropic programs.  In 2008 Philoptochos made a little over $2,500 from the grocery cards.

PAY-SIMPLE As we approach the summer months, we also approach the time of year when financial contributions to our parish decrease dramatically and become highly erratic due to vacations, etc. Please consider signing up for PaySimple on our website: This will allow you make contributions to your Church from a credit card or checking account automatically, without having to write a check or buy a stamp! This allows us to continue to receive contributions even if people are not physically present in Church and will diminish the financial problems we encounter every summer. Please see any member of the Parish Council for more information or to sign up for this secure and free service.

WEBSITE UPDATE As there are many new items being added to our website, we've added a What’s New? section to the lower left-hand side (beneath links to the Parish Calendar, etc.) Please check here to find the latest additions to our website or new information.

TO OUR VISITORS Thank you for visiting! Please come to greet the priest and receive a piece of blessed bread (called Antidoron – meaning "in place of the gifts" in Greek) at the end of the service. You are welcome to worship with us this morning, but please be aware that unless you are a baptized and chrismated (confirmed) member of the Orthodox Church, you may not receive communion. This is the teaching of the Holy Orthodox Church. If you would like more information, please fill out the cards found in the pews or speak to any member of the Parish Council.
