"We, the people of God, who anticipate Your coming, cry out to You: Jesus, Emmanuel, come and fill us with the joy of Your presence!" (Kontakion 1)
Very soon the chilly December air will whirl about, hopefully, gently scattering the fallen snow.
As we journey through this Beautiful season, there are just a few reminders from the Sunday School Staff.
1. We will continue collecting money in the black hat box for the Albania couple until December 18th, 2022. We hope to send what we have collected before Christmas.
2. We will start the Food Drive for needy families on Sunday, November 13th, 2022 until December 18th, 2022.
The children are to bring the food items to their classroom. It will be counted and the classroom with the most food items will be rewarded with ice cream sundaes after the Christmas fast by our very own, Father Panteleimon.
3. On Sunday December 6th, 2022, the Sunday School children will make hand-made ornaments to be sold for $5.00 to decorate the St. Basil Tree. All money earned will go to Saint Basil Academy for the children.
4. The Christmas Pageant will be Sunday, December 18th, 2022.
Also, speaking parts for the Sunday School pageant will be given out on December 6th, 2022.
We love having your child in Sunday School.
Sincerely,
The Sunday School Staff.
