Yesterday, Philoptochos served a meal of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, biscuit, and apple pie with ice cream to FOCUS. The day was beautiful, and the hall was filled with guests. Serving them was a joy and a privilege.
To quote one of our guests, who quoted Denzel Washington, "At the end of the day, it's not about what you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about who you've lifted up, who you've made better. It's about what you've given back". Which Reminded us all of the Gospel Reading yesterday of the paralytic man (Luke 5:17-26) which teaches us that faith, supported by community, overcomes impossible obstacles.
Thank you to all the volunteers who worked hard to serve this meal! A big thank you to Keve and John Gialouris who led this event!
