This Sunday, October 18, our parish observes National Church Music Sunday, celebrated nationwide during the month of October.  We take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to our youth and adult choir members, directors, chanters, readers, helpers, and music educators, led by Cindy Zeimnicki and Fevri Gkanatsios, for whom we will offer a special blessing today.  Through their dedication and beautiful offerings of liturgical music, our music ministry team leads our community in prayer and elevates our worship during the Divine Liturgy.

Join Their Ranks!
Our music ministry is always eager to welcome new voices and talents of all ages. Whether you are an experienced singer, want to learn the art of chanting, or have a child interested in joining our youth music programs, there is a place for you. Singing, chanting or reading in the church is a profound way to offer your time and talents to God while growing closer to the heart of our liturgical tradition.

We are continuing our sign-up process for Catechism Sunday School and for other youth ministries such as: youth choir, Parathosi singers, Greek Cultural class, youth Basketball, Alter Boys, Greek dancing and our JOY, HOPE and GOYA youth groups.  

If you’ve already signed up your child, thank you. For those of you who do not know, we have moved to an entirely online sign-up process. 

Click here to sign up:

We will continue the sign-up process for the next few weeks however, the sooner you sign up, the better we can anticipate the needs of our church community and provide support to both our families and our youth ministers.

Payment can be arranged online via the Church App, found here in this link:

Church App

Make sure when paying online on the Church App, you select the proper “drop-down” for the appropriate ministry, such as catechism school, Greek cultural class etc.

If you’re having problems with any of these links, please let us know as we are happy to help register your children. We are here to help. Reach out to Tasha Kardaris-LaBate at [email protected]

Olive Oil Requested

We kindly ask for your help to replenish our supply of olive oil for our vigil lamps. Thank you for your prayerful support and continued generosity.

A Gentle Reminder - Children’s Saint Books and Sensory bags

We are so blessed to see our children eagerly reading the saint books that are available in the vestibule during Divine Liturgy! However, our collection has decreased from 125 books to 43. If any of these books accidentally made their way home with your family, kindly return them to the church so these wonderful stories can be shared with everyone. 

We are also missing a few sensory bags. When possible, please return them to be cleaned and put back in rotation. Thank you.

Sunday Collection Basket
We are very thankful for the support of so many families and individuals who financially support the Ministries of our Assumption Church. Your Stewardship Commitment and donations for candles, Feast Days and special offerings help our Church meet the Yearly Budget. Our Parish Council has decided to continue placing the traditional Collection Basket on a table in the Narthex. Parishioners and visitors may offer a donation if they wish following Divine Liturgy and other Services as they exit the Church.

Thank you for your gifts that support the many Ministries and programs of our Church. God Bless you.

We are still looking for basketball players (Ages 8-99+) to join our church teams for the upcoming season. No experience necessary, girls and boys, and part-time players are welcome. Our only requirement is that you attend church regularly. Games start in December and it's a great way to spend weekends with your church family during the cold winter months. Please reach out to Coach Dennis at 203-223-2177 or e-mail him [email protected].
