Stewardship Message: Today Steven John Rountos will offer a reflection to our Assumption Church Family concerning the Stewardship of TIME, TALENTS AND TREASURE. We hope that throughout the year to be able to have Parishioners give a reflection of why being part of our Assumption Church Family is important and how we can support our Church and one another in the various Ministries and Programs of our community. We welcome your comments and suggestions. You may contact the Stewardship Committee at
stewardship@agoc.us for any questions or concerns as well to consider being one of our speakers. Thank you for your support and love for our Assumption Church Family.
Greek School March 25th, Greek Independence Video: Following Divine Liturgy a special showing will take place in our Community Hall of the March 25th Greek School Students performance of poems dedicated to the 200th Anniversary of Greek Independence. This past Thursday, March 25th, some of our young Greek School students joined many of our Parishioners with Mayor Joseph Cavo to raise the Greek Flag at Danbury City Hall. It was a beautiful day and wonderful celebration. You are all welcome to join us to honor our students and Greek Independence.

Sunday School: We have begun classes for our Catechism School Youth. We thank our teachers, parents and Catechism School supervisors, Georgia Garay and Christina Donigian for their love and dedication in order to have our Youth return to learning about our Lord, Jesus Christ and for sharing their Faith with one another and for the needed fellowship that we all miss. Please visit the Catechism School page on the www.agoc.us website for the registration form, Covid protocol and more details at: https://www.agoc.us/youth-ministries/catechism-school.
Light-a-Candle: We are now pleased to offer AGOC parishioners the option to light a Narthex candle or altar candle when you are unable to attend in-person services. Should you wish to light a candle, a member of the Parish Council will be happy to do so for you during the current or next services. Please visit our website homepage at www.agoc.us to use our latest Light-a-Candle feature.
Make New Friends the Old-Fashioned Way: Please consider joining the pen pal initiative which was brought to us by the National Philoptochos. Children of all ages (3-18), please consider connecting to someone elderly or homebound the old fashioned way (via snail mail). You can draw a picture, write a note and ask a question. This will hopefully be the beginning of a new friendship, a learning opportunity and a moment to experience true empathy and grace. Please contact Michaele Giannoutsos at michkg76@gmail.com to be connected with a member of our parish! Thank you and looking forward to hearing how much happiness this brings to both the one who sends the letter and the one that receives it.
