Sunday School children worship during Liturgy with their family, then following Holy Communion meet in the Big Hall for Sunday School.
Red Eggs for Resurrection Service & Agape Vespers Needed Can you help? We need 34 dozen. Red Egg Dye is available in the Small Hall on the Book Table for $2.50/packet. Eggs can be brought to church on Holy Thursday night (4/13) or on Holy Friday (4/14).
Icons for our Church A special thank you to all who donated towards the icon of St. Anna in memory of Wendy Love. This icon will be placed in our church sanctuary along with Saint Nicholas and Saint Spyridon. We would like to continue to add icons of Saints that we love! Some include St. Nektarios, St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco, St. Herman of Alaska (the first American Saint), St. Paisios of the Holy Mountain and others. With your generosity, this can be accomplished! If you would like to donate toward an icon or if you have suggestion for an icon you would like to see in our church please contact the office or speak with either Andrew Rores or Fr. Stephen.
All are invited to join us in decorating the church with palms and flowers! The first day will be on the Saturday of Lazarus (April 8th). After liturgy we will celebrate with a brunch and making of palm crosses. Palms will also be put up in the sanctuary. The second day will on Friday, April 14th, where after liturgy the adorning of the Epitaphios will be done along with icon frames (at approximately 10:30a). If you can help, please contact the church office so we can make plans.
Help Wanted The church has a weekly small hall rental each Friday night from 5:30p to 7:15p and we are in need of someone to open the door and lock up afterwards. It would be ideal to have a group of volunteers to pool from, so if you are willing to donate some of your time, please contact the church office for more details.
2017 Stewardship Please remember to fill out a 2017 Stewardship Card (available in the Small Hall). A new card needs to be filled out each year. Pledge Books are also available, though not required, like the pledge cards are. Some people prefer to use the books to help them remember their weekly, monthly or annual stewardship. If you choose to take one, please make sure to put your name and book number on the list provided.
The Children’s Word bulletin for kids is in the Narthex. Please pick one up!
Archangel Michael’s Food Barrel is in the Small Hall year-round. Please show your love and compassion for those in our community who are less fortunate.
