Prosfora: It is customary to submit with your
prosforo a list of names of your departed loved ones to
be commemorated and a list of friends and family to be
mentioned in the prayers of the Proskomidi (preparation
of gifts). It is also necessary that the prosforo be in
the Altar by 7:45 AM for Feast Day services during the
week and by 9:00 AM on Sundays. The Service of the
Proskomidi takes place in the Altar during the Orthros.
You are always welcome to leave the prosforo in the
freezer or refrigerator in the church kitchen in advance
of your day, provided you let Chris Spanos or the
office know that you are leaving the prosforo in
advance. Thank you!
- Reminders for
Ministries--If you cannot fulfill your obligation for
the week for prosfora, coffee hour, serving in the altar
or nursery, or reading the epistle, please arrange for
someone to substitute for you. The secretary is only
available three days a week and time is of the essence for
some of these services. The more warning you give in
advance, the easier it will be for the substitute to
help. Thanks!
