COFFEE HOUR
We are in need of volunteers to host Coffee Hour. Together we can eliminate the coffee hosting challenge. We ask you for two things: 1. Channel your Greek filoxenia and take one Sunday in 2020 to host coffee hour. It can be in memory of your loved ones (and in concert with a memorial) or in honor of a nameday or birthday. 2. Give Christina permission to add you to the calendar of coffee hosts. Several Sundays are already booked by our church organizations, but we’ll find one that works for you. Submit your first and second choice, please forward your request to: ctcallos@gmail.com Christina Callos.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR
On Saturday, March 14, 2020 Fr. Nicholas Louh will be the guest speaker at our Lenten Retreat. Please mark your calendar and plan to attend. Schedule and topic details will be available soon.
VISTORS & SACRAMENTS
Everyone is welcome in the Orthodox Church & may receive the blessed bread (antidoron) at the end of the service, but only practicing Orthodox Christians may receive the sacrament of Holy Communion.
