Dear Members and Friends of the Saint George Community,

Continued Improvements at St. George – A Community Effort

Over the past 10 weeks, meaningful improvements have continued at St. George Church.

Maintaining a beautiful and welcoming space is essential to the growth of our community—it shows that we care deeply, and that we honor and respect everyone who walks through our doors.

These enhancements are not the work of the Parish Council alone—they are the result of a caring and committed community. Your dedication to the betterment of our church is what makes these accomplishments possible.

Here’s a summary of the recent improvements:

Three new icons installed:

🔹 Jacob’s Ladder (nave)
🔹 Anapeson – The Unsleeping Eye of Christ (narthex)
🔹 Three Exapteryga (narthex)

Three restored wooden furnishings with golf leaf accents:
🔹 Saint Basil icon stand
🔹 Saint Spyridon icon stand
🔹 Candle stand

Enhanced lighting:
🔹 The icon stands on the west narthex wall—Saint George, The Panagia, and Saint Spyridon—are now beautifully illuminated with downlighting, matching the iconostasis.

Additional behind-the-scenes improvements:
🔹 Removal of clutter from all floors
🔹 Plumbing repairs in the janitor’s closet
🔹 Lighting fixtures repaired in the lower level

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed their time, effort, and resources. Your generosity and love for St. George do not go unnoticed—you are truly appreciated!
