SUNDAY FELLOWSHIP HOUR Please consider signing up for Sunday Fellowship Hour: It's easy and fun! Celebrate an anniversary, birthday or name day, etc. in style with your fellow parishioners & have it announced in the bulletin! Over the summer, the same few people prepared food every week - and through the end of this year, only three families have signed up to contribute. Meals don't need to be fancy or extravagant, as it's your own personal offering to God and is part of your stewardship of the Church. Unfortunately, if no-one signs up, there won't be any food on Sundays after Church! The sign-up sheet is by the door of the fellowship hall.

UPDATED PARISH DIRECTORY We are in the process of preparing a new parish directory, which was last updated in 2007. This Sunday is the last opportunity for everyone to make changes to the information we currently have on file. If you have not done so over the past couple of Sundays, then please check your name, address, email, phone numbers, etc. or add your information if you're not currently listed (a copy is in the Narthex). It is important that we have up-to-date information so as we can contact people should the occasion arise. Also, a paper copy of this new directory will be provided to all stewards following Stewardship Sunday. If you would rather not have your contact information in this paper version, then please see Ian on Sunday or contact him at ian.mit@gmail.com.

IOCC EMERGENCY APPEAL International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) is part of a coordinated international effort to bring relief to the thousands that have been displaced by Typhoon Ketsana in the Philippines and the 7.6 magnitude earthquake that devastated western Sumatra in Indonesia.
Typhoon Ketsana struck the Philippines on September 26 and the subsequent floods and mudslides killed hundreds and displaced thou- sands. IOCC is working through the Orthodox Church in the hard-hit province of Rizal to deliver emergency supplies to victims. “We cannot be blind to the difficulties of the victims, because we are right where the action is,” says Father Yitzhak Monsanto of the Manila Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church. IOCC is providing an initial grant that will deliver enough food, clothing and medicines to assist nearly 500 survivors.
In Indonesia, the earthquake that struck western Sumatra on September 30 caused major damage to the provincial capital of Padang and killed more than 700. Nearly 1 million are homeless and thousands are being treated for injuries. IOCC is in contact with its Orthodox partners in Sumatra to coordinate a possible relief and recovery response. And, as a member of Action by Churches Together (ACT), IOCC is supporting its ecumenical partners who are currently on the ground in the Padang area providing mobile medical units, high protein food kits and hygiene supplies. As the scope of the disaster in Indonesia becomes more clear, IOCC will contin- ue to coordinate its response with these members to determine the best course of action, likely to include the direct delivery of medical supplies into Padang.
“Those who have survived the devastation throughout Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands now need life-saving medicine, food and water, but because of the sanitary conditions – and with many survivors sleeping in the open – time is critical,” says IOCC Development Director Dan Christopulos.
You can help the victims of disasters around the world, like the Asia Pacific Disasters, by making a financial gift to the IOCC International Emergency Response Fund, which will provide immediate relief as well as long- term support through the provision of emergency aid, recovery assistance and other support to help those in need. To make a gift please visit www.iocc.org, call toll free at 1-877-803-IOCC (4622), or mail a check or money order payable to IOCC, P.O. Box 630225, Baltimore, Md. 21263-0225.

GIFT WRAP FUNDRAISER Gift Wrap/Candy fund raiser begins today. Stop by in the hall today and browse through the catalog of not only gift wrap, but various gifts, nuts and candy. We have a limited amount of catalogs. Please share them with family, co-workers, friends and neighbors, but please bring them back the following Sunday. Turn in your orders to Sarah Troicky.

JEWELRY FUNDRAISER Next week the representative from Premier Jewelry will be with us in the fellowship hall. You will be able to try on jewelry, ask questions and make your purchases on this day. A small sampling of jewelry is displayed in the hall today and the catalog is also available for you to view. A percentage of Premier sales will go to the Philoptochos. See Sarah Troicky and thank you for your support.
