Help Furnish God's House

Since the Covenant, it has been important to bring an offering to God.  Bakers would bring the bread that would be used for communion and tailors the clothes and so one with the excess distributed to the poor and needy.   However in the modern world of electronic giving in lieu of this we usually light candles as a representation of this offering and as a way of symbolizing our prayer intentions before God.  The candles can be purchased for a suggested donation at the back of the church.   

However, donations to enable the liturgy are strongly encouraged, 

• ​Incense:   Can be purchased online or from Serano Bakery, Highland Farms and other places in the city. No stick incense.  Charcoal can be bought at the same place and is appreciated.
• Wine:  The wine is a sweet kosher style wine, either Mavrodaphne, Nama, or Kagor (another) wines.   In a pinch, a Kosher Concord  can work.  You can pick these up in the desert wine section of the LCBO.
• Bread/Prosphora: We have a group of people that meet to cook Prosphora, it also can be purchased from Serano Bakery, .  See Subdcn. Efraim if you would like to be part of the group or would like to know how/get supplies. 
• Candles: Tapers are at the back of church by donation or see Dorothy about donating.
• Icons and Liturgical Furnishings: A number of icons that are still needed. This  includes some liturgical feasts, handwritten icons for our iconostas, but  Icons of major saints or family patrons are welcome. We still have other item/vestments that need purchasing.  We are also eventually looking at getting a more permanent altar table.   See Subdcn Michael about this. 
  • Icon of Forefathers
  • Icons of Pr. Elijah, Most of Apostles, Moses the Black, All Saints, 
  • Icons for Royal Doors
  • Permanent Altar Table
  • Adult Baptismal Font
• Building:: There is a number of building projects that need to be completed, please see Nick Z about this.  
• Sewing: We could use some altar coverings, please see Ioana if you would like to assist.
• Your time: The harvest is many but the laborers are few.   Help us with general administration or our ministries.   Please see Father about this.

Supporting Community Meals

If you would like to support a community meal – Monday Suppers or Thursday Brunch -- please email us with your request and details.

Perhaps you would like to commemorate a significant day or event like a birthday, anniversary, church feast or your Saint’s day?  Another beautiful tradition is making the offering of a meal in memory of a loved one who has passed away.  If so requested, we will acknowledge the support and the dedication at the meal and in our prayers.

Email us with the details of your request or add a note to your donation.
