This Week
Church Music Sunday
Sunday, October 5Today, our parish community observes National Church Music Ministry Sunday. It comes each year in the month of October, the Sunday closest to the feast day of Saint Romanos the Melodist (October 1st). On this day, our Archdiocese recognizes those women and men who have heard and responded to the Lord's invitation to be church musicians: that is, parish chanters and choir singers. As church musicians, these people represent the laity in the liturgical dialogue of our worship services. In glory to God, the Holy Trinity, they commit themselves to learning the hymns of our Orthodox faith, understanding the sequence of our liturgical worship, and actively offering their prayers in song to enhance the beauty of our worship. We ask each of them, and our congregation as well, to be mindful of the special ministry they fulfill in singing the hymns of our faith and leading us to worship. A special tray will be passed today for the Choir. Fellowship Hour today is being hosted by our Choir members.
Inquirers Class
Monday, 6:30-7:30 PMA Catechetical Study of Orthodox Christianity geared for non-Orthodox and non-Christians, yet a good opportunity for Orthodox faithful to go deeper in the Faith.

Announcements
Burn the Mortgage Celebration
Join us for a truly exciting milestone at St. Mark Greek Orthodox Church! On November 8th, we will celebrate burning the mortgage—an achievement made possible by the generosity of Sylvia Cardone, who remembered our parish in her will. Please mark your calendars and come together as a community to honor this remarkable blessing. To make this happen we are asking for all Parishioners to prayerfully consider a contribution to support this huge moment! Click here to give online.
Wednesday Evening Bible Study
We're considering starting a Wednesday evening class and want to know your interest. Would you prefer a Bible Study or a class on Orthodox books? Please share your thoughts or sign up near the candles at the entrance. Your participation helps guide our ministry!
A Word on Stewardship
We are excited to announce the start of our parish-wide Stewardship Drive! God is doing great things in our community, and each of us is called to take part in His work. Stewardship sign-ups will be available near the entrance by the candles, and on October 17th, a basket will be placed in front of the icon of The Theotokos. Join us in offering back to God a portion of the blessings He has given us, as we grow together in faith and service.
