Prayers for my Mom

Dear Faithful Ones

Please lift up in prayer my Mom, Eleanor.
She has stage 2 cancer and next week will begin 6 weeks of chemo followed soon after by 5 plus weeks of radiation.

She is a woman of faith and she and my Dad are handling this pretty well.

I will be going up to visit them in a few weeks. My Dad turns 80 on October 2.

Thank you for your prayers.

Fr. Stephen

New Website

Image via Wikipedia

We have a new church website that is nearly finished.

www.stgeorgepa.net

The site has a twofold purpose:

1. to reach out to non-Orthodox and provide a gateway into the Church
2. to provide information on Orthodoxy and our parish to the members of our parish and others

Suggestions and comments are appreciated.

Remember us in your prayers.

Fr. Stephen

New Website coming soon.

Dear Faithful Ones

Thanks to generous donors we will soon have a new St. George Orthodox Church web page.

Going live on Friday, September 10 at Noon.
