What is Orthodox Christian Stewardship

“It is by offering our blessings back to God that He will be able to continue His forgiving, healing, liberating, empowering, transfiguring, loving ministry through the Church. For God, Infinite though He be, has chosen to work through us, through our gifts, to continue His saving work in the world today.” – Fr. Anthony Coniaris

Stewardship reminds us that everything we have has been given to us by God – not for us to have, but for us to care for as stewards, or caretakers. This is why we call those who are actively living the Orthodox Christian life “stewards,” because to live the Orthodox Christian life fully means to recognize that we have received everything from God, and therefore we offer some of what we have received back in thanksgiving.

Financial stewardship is an offering, and it is part of how we participate in the saving work of Christ and His Church. By offering back some of what has been given to us, we allow God to work through that offering “for the life of the world.” Just as we offer bread and wine for the Liturgy which God transforms into the Body and Blood of Christ to transform us into the living Body of Christ, so do we offer our time, treasure, and talents to Christ and His Church so that God might receive them and transform them into the means not only of our salvation, but for all Creation.

A Note on Christian Stewardship …….. 

Life is given to us through Our Lord Jesus Christ. Our commitment to expressing gratitude for this great blessing is seen through our participation in Christian Stewardship by being faithful stewards of The Gospel. Our commitment reveals how we live our faith in the Resurrected Lord. It is in The Resurrection of Our Lord that we receive eternal life and we express our hope in the life to come by our response as Orthodox Christian stewards. 

Come and See how we are all called to be Stewards of The Church!

Please take a moment to reflect upon what God has given us, and to discern how we might be able to return to God a portion of the blessings we have received.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity. 

May God continue to bless and guide you and keep you always in His Loving Care!

ARCHPASTORAL VISIT and 110th ANNIVERSARY PARISH CELEBRATION

St. George Orthodox Church (Buffalo, NY)

“This is The Day that The Lord has made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it!”

Over the weekend of September 23-24, 2023, His Eminence Archbishop Michael made an Archpastoral Visit to our beloved parish for the 110th Anniversary Celebration of The Founding of our parish.  The Anniversary Celebration coincided with the Festal Celebration of The Holy New Martyrs of Alaska – St. Juvenaly and St. Peter the Aleut as well as the Anniversary of the 229th Anniversary of The Missionary Journey of St. Herman of Alaska and those with him.

Words cannot even begin to describe how blessed we are here at St George Church with a wonderful parish family dedicated to building up The Body of Christ here at our parish and for making it a spiritual Home where everyone who enters comes to know Christ, love Christ, and live Christ!

Truly the 110th Anniversary Weekend’s Parish Celebration resounds who we are here at St. George Orthodox Church: A loving parish family committed to serving Our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ through our love and prayers for one another and for and with our love for The God Who loves us more than we love ourselves!

We are blessed with a wonderful, loving and caring Diocesan Shepherd, Hierarch, and Father in Christ who guided us through the weekend with his love, care, prayers and words of exhortation and encouragement!

We gathered together to give thanks to Almighty God for the blessings that He has bestowed upon us over the past 110 years of proclaiming, living, and sharing The Gospel Message of His Beloved Son – Our Lord Jesus Christ.  This celebration reflects the love, the faith, the dedication, and the commitment that our parish has to Our Lord, His Gospel, and His Church.

One-Hundred and Ten years ago, St. George Orthodox Church began her ministry on East Street as one of the oldest Orthodox Communities on the Niagara Frontier.  Our history reminds us that we are called to serve and welcome people of all backgrounds and ethnicities to worship with us and learn more about the ancient and unchanging path of Orthodox Christianity. The vision of the early Romanian Community and then later the Missionary Parish under the Name – Theophany Orthodox Catholic Parish which would become St. George/Theophany Orthodox Catholic Church and then eventually St. George Orthodox Church has continued with the emphasis being – To Live, Proclaim and Share The Gospel Message of Our Lord Jesus Christ in our everyday living and everyday life.

This vision is centered on and embodies The Gospel message of Our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ. A vision in providing a spiritual home for all who enter and want to know Christ, live, Christ, follow Christ and grow in their love and faith of Our Lord.  A vision which reflects The Great Commission of Our Lord given to all of us in the Gospel of Matthew: “Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in The Name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19).  Today, 110 years later, by The Grace of God and to The Glory of God, this vision, this Mission is being fulfilled.  It is being fulfilled because of the love, faith, prayers, dedication, support, and stewardship of each and everyone of the clergy and faithful who have been working together over these 110 years in truly making St. George Orthodox Church what it has been called to be and what it is – A loving and caring Parish Family dedicated to serving Christ and His Church in ministering to all within our community and within the community which we live and dwell.

As we celebrated the great blessings God has bestowed upon us and our parish through the past 110 years, we rejoice in how our parish has grown spiritually and physically enriching the life and mission of our parish through the efforts, dedication, and leadership of its past clergy and faithful.  Over the past 10 years, our parish has grown from ministering to 75 souls to 175 souls with 13 Catechumens this past year. Two of them, were Chrismated into The Orthodox Faith at the start of our 110th Anniversary Celebration.  Glory to God!

The Anniversary Celebration Weekend began with the Chrismation of two of our 13 beloved Catechumens into The Holy Orthodox Faith – William Herman Miller and Darlene Photini Miller.  Glory to God! Following the Chismation and the Celebration of Great Vespers, we held a Wine & Cheese Reception in the Parish Fellowship Hall where everyone gathered together with His Eminence Archbishop Michael, local clergy and faithful enjoying Christian Fellowship with one another.  The highlight of the evening reception was the showing of “The 110th Anniversary Celebration Video” which can be viewed on our parish website (www.stgeorgebuffalo.com)

On Sunday Morning, His Eminence spent time with our dear children, families, and parishioners with a “Q&A Session” after which children were able to assist the subdeacons in vesting Archbishop Michael! An experience they will never forget!

Following the beautiful Hierarchichal Divine Liturgy, procession, and parish family group photo, and presentation of Gramotas to the elders of our parish  and relatives of the founders of our parish, and Synodal Gramota for the parish, the clergy and faithful spent time in fellowship with His Eminence during the 110th Anniversary Celebration Banquet in the Parish Fellowship Hall. A highlight of the Banquet Celebration was the presentation by the children during which they held 3 Boxes: (Past-Present-Future) and highlighted our parish over the past 110 years of her ministry and challenged all of us to ask ourselves – “Where do we want to go from here?” This was followed by our children’s choir joyfully singing and proclaiming the beautiful hymn: “Their Proclamation has gone out into All The Earth and their words to the ends of the Universe!”

Truly the entire weekend was a blessing for all of us!

This Anniversary, itself, reminds us of the constant need to re-evaluate and recapture that which is central to our lives as Orthodox Christians, to restore balance in all we do, and in giving thanks to God for these 110 years of proclaiming His Glory to make an earnest attempt to set aside a portion—the “first portion”—of our time to acquire the peace of the Holy Spirit. This can be seen and fulfilled by way of our stewardship or commitment to Christ and His Holy Church. Stewardship is understood to be a spiritual exercise whereby we, as God’s Children, express our love and faithfulness in tangible ways through the giving of our time, talents and treasures for the building up of the Body of Christ as best expressed in our Parish life.  For truly as Christ has taught, all

As we celebrated this Joyous 110th Anniversary Celebration, may all of us, together as a parish family and as a Diocesan Family, continue to rejoice, proclaim, and give all Glory to The God Who loves us more than we love ourselves.  

It was a great joy and blessing to have our beloved Archpastor, Diocesan Shepherd, and Father in Christ – His Eminence Archbishop Michael- who led us in the Festal Celebration through beautiful and prayerful Divine Services and Christian Fellowship. A most wonderful celebration in the life, mission, and history of our parish. Truly this Anniversary Celebration is a testimony to who we are, to who we have been, and to who we are striving to be… A living and growing body of Christ dedicated to serving Christ, His Church, and His Gospel giving All Glory to The God Who loves us more than we love ourselves!

We invite all of you to come taste and see The Ancient Faith of The Orthodox Church by praying with us and growing with us!

Through the Prayers of our Heavenly Patron – The Holy Great Martyr and Wonderworker St George, May God continue to bless and guide all of you and keep you safe and healthy in His loving care today and always!

We humbly thank you for your love, prayers, and support and ask for your continued prayers for us that God will bless and guide all of us as we strive to live, proclaim, and share The Gospel Message of His Beloved Son Our Lord Jesus Christ!

May God continue to bless and guide all of us, our parishes, and our Diocesan Family and keep all of us safe and healthy in His loving care today and always!

May the Joy of Our Lord continue to be with all of you and bless and enrich your lives as it does for us everyday here at St. George Orthodox Church!

Have a blessed day! Have a blessed week! May The Joy of Our Lord be with all of you!

UPDATE ON FULL RE-OPENING OF OUR PARISH – JUNE 2021

We are celebrating The Divine Services with FULL CAPACITY in The Church. ALL Pews will be open and available for everyone to stand together.  So that we can, to the Glory of God, pray together, sing together and stand together as parish family, as brothers and sisters in Christ.  

Until further notice, we continue to follow the following guidelines based upon The Diocesan Directives/Guidelines and the new directives and announcements from Governor Andrew Cuomo: 

  1. With these new directives and announcements from Governor Andrew Cuomo, we will no longer be requiring a mask mandate.  However, to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and safe while attending Divine Services and Fellowship Activities at our parish, we will make the wearing of masks a voluntary decision. If someone wishes to continue to wear a mask, that is their choice and their right to.  If someone chooses not to wear a mask, that is their choice not to wear a mask. This is to ensure that we, as a parish family and as brothers and sisters in Christ, minister in every way possible through love to those who come to St. George Orthodox Church to grow in their faith and love of Our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ. Out of love, care, concern, and the well-being of EVERYONE, The Clergy, when distributing Holy Communion and Holding The Cross at the Veneration of the Cross/Dismissal and whenever there is interaction between The Clergy and parishioners, The Clergy will be wearing a mask to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of everyone.  As a parish family, let us continue to love one another, respect one another, and pray for and with one another!  As I have mentioned previously, the topic of vaccinated vs unvaccinated has no place in our parish.  That is a private and individual matter and choice and above that is a HIPAA Privacy Law!

We will also continue to have hand sanitizer and masks available for everyone who wishes to use them to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of everyone who comes to St. George Orthodox Church for Divine Services and Fellowship Activities. These precautions are for the health, safety, and well-being of everyone who comes and enters our Church to pray and worship God.    

  1. The choir will continue to sing up front until such time we can move them back to the choir area 
  2. The space in the back of the church (choir area and children’s area) will remain open for the 15 chairs socially distant for those who wish to stand there. 
  3. We will go back to using the Common Communion Cloth.  However, if anyone wishes to use the individual napkin to wipe their lips after receiving Holy Communion, they may do so. 
  4. We will go back to venerating/kissing The Holy Icons, The Cross, and other Sacred Objects of Veneration.
  5. We will be passing the Stewardship Collection Plate during The Litany before The Lord’s Prayer
  6. The Church, Parish Hall, and Restrooms will continue to be cleaned and sanitized every week 

We are taking every measure that we can to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of our parishioners and of everyone that comes to our parish to pray.   Together, with the Parish Council, we express our most sincere and heartfelt thanks and appreciation for your help, assistance, patience, and understanding and for your continued working together and praying together as a Parish Family for The Glory of God, To the Glory of God, and With the Glory of God!  

**If anyone has any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to see or contact Fr. Jason. May God continue to bless and guide all of you!**

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Prayer Before Reading the Holy Scripture

Illumine our hearts, O Master Who lovest mankind, with the pure light of Thy divine knowledge. Open the eyes of our mind to the understanding of Thy gospel teachings. Implant also in us the fear of Thy blessed commandments, that trampling down all carnal desires, we may enter upon a spiritual manner of living, both thinking and doing such things as are well-pleasing unto Thee. For Thou art the illumination of our souls and bodies, O Christ our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with Thy Father, Who is from everlasting, and Thine all-holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Let us pray to the Lord.    Lord, have mercy.

O God Almighty, Lord of heaven and earth, and of all creation visible and invisible, in thine ineffable goodness, look down upon us, thy people gathered in thy Holy Name. Be our helper and defender in this day of affliction. Thou knowest our weakness. Thou hearest our cry in repentance and contrition of heart. O Lord who lovest mankind, deliver us from the impending threat of the Corona Virus. Send thine angel to watch over us and protect us. Grant health and recovery to those suffering from this virus.

St. George Orthodox Church (OCA) located in Buffalo, NY has been blessed with the Icon of Most-Holy Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary (Icon of the Annunciation) on the Iconostasis streaming Oil. A great and humble miracle and blessing for our parish and for those who come and pray here.

The Holy Oil began streaming from the Cross on top of the Veil of the Theotokos and then also began streaming from the back of Her Veil and has continued to stream down Her Face.

ST.GEORGE ORTHODOX CHURCH BOOK CLUB

“The liturgy of the Eucharist is best understood as a journey or procession. It is the journey of the Church into the dimension of the Kingdom. We use the word ‘dimension’ because it seems the best way to indicate the manner of our sacramental entrance into the risen life of Christ. Color transparencies ‘come alive’ when viewed in three dimensions instead of two. The presence of the added dimension allows us to see much better the actual reality of what has been photographed. In very much the same way, though of course any analogy is condemned to fail, our entrance into the presence of Christ is an entrance into a fourth dimension which allows us to see the ultimate reality of life. It is not an escape from the world, rather it is the arrival at a vantage point from which we can see more deeply into the reality of the world.”
An approach to the world and to life that stems from the liturgical experience of the Orthodox Church. Deals with the issues of “secularism” and Christian culture, viewing them from the perspective of the Church as revealed and communicated in its worship and liturgy.

Join us  every other Monday (via Zoom – contact Fr. Jason for the registration information), from 6:30-8:30 pm. as we read and discuss “For the Life of the World” by Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann. So bring your book, tablet, smart phone, or laptop and join our Book Club as we continue our reading of “For the Life of the World” and grow in our spiritual nourishment.

If you would like to order the book, please see or contact Dave and Andrea Chmiel (St. George Bookstore Coordinators) as they can order these books for us through our bookstore account with St. Tikhon’s Monastery Press.

If anyone has any questions, please do not hesitate to see or contact Fr. Jason.

Looking forward to coming together for Christian fellowship, learning and discussion.

May God Bless you and keep you

Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.  And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”

ST.GEORGE ORTHODOX CHURCH BOOK CLUB

“The liturgy of the Eucharist is best understood as a journey or procession. It is the journey of the Church into the dimension of the Kingdom. We use the word ‘dimension’ because it seems the best way to indicate the manner of our sacramental entrance into the risen life of Christ. Color transparencies ‘come alive’ when viewed in three dimensions instead of two. The presence of the added dimension allows us to see much better the actual reality of what has been photographed. In very much the same way, though of course any analogy is condemned to fail, our entrance into the presence of Christ is an entrance into a fourth dimension which allows us to see the ultimate reality of life. It is not an escape from the world, rather it is the arrival at a vantage point from which we can see more deeply into the reality of the world.”
An approach to the world and to life that stems from the liturgical experience of the Orthodox Church. Deals with the issues of “secularism” and Christian culture, viewing them from the perspective of the Church as revealed and communicated in its worship and liturgy.

Join us  every other Monday (via Zoom – contact Fr. Jason for the registration information), from 6:30-8:30 pm. as we read and discuss “For the Life of the World” by Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann. So bring your book, tablet, smart phone, or laptop and join our Book Club as we continue our reading of “For the Life of the World” and grow in our spiritual nourishment.

If you would like to order the book, please see or contact Dave and Andrea Chmiel (St. George Bookstore Coordinators) as they can order these books for us through our bookstore account with St. Tikhon’s Monastery Press.

If anyone has any questions, please do not hesitate to see or contact Fr. Jason.

Looking forward to coming together for Christian fellowship, learning and discussion.

May God Bless you and keep you

Akathist Hymn of Praise: ‘Glory to God for All Things’

Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.  And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”

(James 5:13-16)

In the spirit of outreach and almsgiving, the Sisterhood of St. George will be co-ordinating a monthly food drive to support Hearts for the Homeless. Each month we will request a specific non-perishable food item or items that will be taken to the Hearts location at the end of the month. Items will be placed in a designated bin in the community center. How can you participate? It’s easy! When you do you grocery shopping just pick up the monthly Hearts item and bring it to church and place it in the bin. We’ll make sure it gets to the soup kitchen for Hearts to use.
