Special Prayers:  Please pray for the spiritual and physical health of the whole world. Also for Nicola Lykam who is on bed rest at this time. We have ongoing prayer requests for Jane Anderson, Betty Day, Chresanthe Lemieux, Jim Manos, Dolly Welling, Steve Sarris, Despina Xynidis, especially for Mary Santas who is recovering from eye surgery and the work of our parish, missionary families, and catechumens.

Holy Trinity Stewardship:  Stewardship is the regular practice of returning to God a portion of all that God has given us.  This includes spreading the teachings of Christ and the concept of giving regularly of our time, talent, and treasure to work on this earth is as much a spiritual practice as prayer and worship.  Please prayerfully consider your Holy Trinity Church Stewardship commitment. 

Holy Trinity Master Calendar:   A Holy Trinity Parish Master Calendar is maintained in the Parish Office.  All ministries are asked to submit dates of events to be included in the master calendar.  This will help coordinate efforts and events with other ministries; dates will be included in the weekly bulletin; and will help actively involve others in the work of our Parish.  Active and enthusiastic participation in a parish’s activities and functions should emulate the Kingdom of God – a culture that is overflowing with joy, peace and love.

Weekly Bulletin Submission:  Please submit announcements to the Church office via email holy3goc@gmail.com with “Bulletin Article” in the subject line, no later than Wednesday/Thursday weekly.  Thank you.

Visiting the Church Outside of Office Hours:  Though at this time we do not have volunteers coordinated to assist in receiving visitors to the Church outside of Office Hours (M-F 9am-1pm), we hope to always welcome parishioners and the many visiting out-of-towners to the best of our ability. Please call the office to arrange a visit. If there is no answer, call the emergency number on the voicemail, (602) 617-2467, to discuss options that may exist.

Ministries & Committees:  All are welcome and encouraged to apply common interests, skill sets, and life experience to the many areas of service in the life of the Church.

Metropolitan Alexios Asks Every Family to Participate in the Panagia Chapel Roof Tile Campaign:   The Panagia Chapel at the Diakonia Retreat Center is in its final stages. To wrap up the building of the Panagia Chapel, His Eminence has asked that each family give the names of their loved ones, living and deceased to be sealed in the Holy Table during consecration and prayed for during each service held in the Chapel. When submitting names, it is requested that each family prayerfully considers a sponsorship of $30 or more, as you are able, to the completion of the Panagia Chapel’s roof.  A table is setup in the Church Hall to submit names and a sponsorship for this effort.

Weekly Offering:    The Bible says: "the Lord loves a cheerful giver" (2 Corinthians 9:7).  The Christian way to give is to give because desire to give; we give because we love the Lord.  Your offering can be made at the collection basket as you exit the service.
