Ladies Philoptochos Society News:
Καλό Πάσχα! Christos Anesti! Our Ladies Philoptochos continues our outreach to church family members to offer support and "stay in touch." We encourage all parishioners to think of fellow parishioners to reach out to with a phone call or email. As a chapter, we continue to look for ways we can donate to support others - as we are all in "this together." We are donating to three local food banks and participating in a meal train to offer meals to healthcare workers at Danbury Hospital. Other suggestions are welcome. May God bless us all.

Creation Care Message – Celebrating 50th Anniversary of Earth Day
On April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans took to the streets, college campuses and hundreds of cities to protest environmental ignorance and demand a new way forward for our planet. The first Earth Day is credited with launching the modern environmental movement and is now recognized as the planet’s largest civic event. Earth Day led to passage of landmark environmental laws in the United States, including the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species Acts.
For 30 years, The Orthodox Church has continually advocated and pioneered leadership for Christian care of the environment. As Orthodox Christians we are called to live in harmony with God’s creation. How we treat the earth and all creation reflects the relationship that each of us has with God. We are obliged to do whatever we can, no matter how insignificant it may seem in the scope of the world ecological crisis.
Our Assumption Church Creation Care Ministry was formed to learn about environmental issues and to take action in accordance with our theology. The mission of this ministry is not simply ecology. It is an opportunity to live a more conscientiously Christian lifestyle that will bring more abundant blessings into the life of the parish and your home.
If you are interested in joining a ministry of reflection, education & action that helps protect the environment, promotes sustainability, and preserves the sanctity of God’s creation, please email creationcare@agoc.us
Note: During this time of the pandemic, the Creation Care Ministry is also supporting our parish efforts to stay connected through the bulletin and Fanari Newsletter. Please send any announcements or photos you would like to share!
