News about the “Beautiful Church on the Hill”
As of this writing, a thorough evaluation of the state of the chapel has been conducted. We have an estimated price tag to bring the property into suitability and usability. As has been the case from the beginning of this effort, shortly after Bishop Gabriel’s visit at our last parish feast, now more than ever, we all need to become more prayerful and devoted, individually and as a community. We need also to devote such funds as we can to this. Now is the time to remember the loaves and fishes. Now is the time to remember that the Lord’s wondrous act really fed the people. So, we his people of today, have to give our own loaves and fishes. God has brought us to this place. He has been with us and continues to be. Let us be with Him. See below about the building fund.

Visiting the Sick and Shut-ins
Our sister, Elisabeth Chisholm, and is not able to easily get to Church. Please keep her in your prayers. Please call her when you can. She would also appreciate a visit.

Paschal Joy Bestowed
This wondrous season we are reminded is the season of weddings. We have two (and, God willing, a third a little later)! God willing, Marc and Ginny (catechumen Elisabeth) and our Christopher and Dorothy will be married by the end of the month. Pray for them and with them as they start on this joyful path of life.

Purchase of Candles, Prosphora and Other Items
Please remember when buying anything from the church to record the item, quantity, and $ amount on the columned paper at the candle stand. Also indicate on the check memo line, or on a slip of paper with your name attached to cash, what a donation is for. By so doing, you will be helping our Treasurer immensely in the accounting.

Our Building Fund
We have a building fund. We hope and pray, that soon with God’s help, we will be able to begin to re-beautify and fix that which is wanting in the St. Joseph’s chapel and re-dedicate it to our patron saints, the Holy Apostles, to the glory of God. Eventually we hope to also build a parish hall and a larger new temple on the same grounds. To this end, we ask that our parishioners and friends keep this prayer in their daily prayers. We also ask that contributions targeted for the building fund be made, over and above our regular pledging, indicating so on the memo line of a check, or through a note attached to other means of giving. According to His will, may God grant us to see the day of the dedication of a new church.
