• After prayers and with God’s grace we started a minor change in the children’s Sunday School Mass today. It has been combined with the Second Mass at Saint George and Saint Rueiss church. The schedule is now as follows: the first Mass is from 6:30 to 9:00 am, the second Mass is from 9:00 to 11:00. For that mass, the children receive communion and go to Sunday school, then the adults receive communion after the children and stay for the sermon until before 11:45 am, the end of the second Mass. The Arabic liturgy at Archangel Michael and St. Mina is from 8:15 – 11:30 am, and there is no change at Saint Philopateer and St. Shenouda.
• On Monday, the Arabic prayer meeting is from 8:00 – 9:00 pm
• There are two Divine Liturgies on Wednesday as usual and the Arabic Bible Study is from 7:00 – 9:00 pm.
• On Friday, we have an early Mass from 5:30 – 7:30 am.
• On Saturday evening, we have our two vespers: English at St. George from 7:30 – 10:30 pm and Arabic in the Chapel from 7:00 – 10:30 pm.
• The youth are organizing a Christmas drive. They are collecting brand new gifts at St. Philopateer church every Sunday. If you have new items for this drive, please give them to Christina Bassilious or Michael Abdel Malak.
• September church calendar is online at www.stgr.org
• Please remember the poor and the needy in your almsgiving and also don’t forget the church needs remembering that there is a promise in the book of Tobit 12:9 saying “For almsgiving delivers form death, and the same is what purges sins and makes one able to find mercy and everlasting life.”
