November 15

Nativity Fast Begins

The Nativity Fast is one of four main fast periods throughout the ecclesiastical year. Beginning on November 15 and concluding on December 24, the Nativity Fast gives individuals the opportunity to prepare for the Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord and Savior in the Flesh on December 25. By abstaining from certain food and drink, particularly from meat, fish, dairy products, olive oil, and wine, as well as focusing more deeply on prayer and almsgiving, we can find that the primary aim of fasting is to make us conscious of our dependence upon God.

Greek School

11/15/2020

The Assumption Greek School will be having a Community Christmas Drive Thru. The entire community is invited to participate! We will be collecting Blessing Bags for the homeless on Sunday, December 6th, 5 to 7 pm. Attached is a flier with details. 

What is a Blessing Bag? It is a gallon size zip loc bag containing essential items a homeless person needs (toothbrush, comb, bandaids, soap, shampoo, washcloth, nail clippers, hand sanitizer, socks, etc....). No food items please. 

All safety protocols will be observed. Stay in your vehicle and exit the grounds after drop off. We have a hand crafted Christmas ornament for everyone who participates! 

The need from the unhoused is greater than ever. We hope you will help us in our efforts to help them.

With Agape,

The Assumption Greek School Teaching Team
