PARISH COUNCIL MEETING THIS TUESDAY
CHECK-IN VOLUNTEERS: In the current policies of the metropolis we are required to have a check-in person or team for every service. We are looking for additional volunteers who are willing to come a little early to check people in and, if able, to help sanitize after the services. Please contact Fr. Anastasios if you are interested in helping a necessary function during these times.
SUNDAY SCHOOL QUESTIONNAIRE: 28 families have filled out the questionnaire so far. Please fill it this questionnaire.
SUNDAY SCHOOL UPDATE: Sunday School will be starting a little later than usual this year and plans will be forthcoming as we continue to find the best way to minister to all of our students. To honor the Nativity of the Theotokos & Elevation of the Holy Cross our PreK & Kindergarten class will be testing Sunday School via SEESAW with Marissa Niaros. HOPE & JOY and GOYA will have videos directed towards them posted here: http://www.htgoc.org/ministries/sundayschool
VIRTUAL YIAYIA-PAPOU SUNDAY:
In addition, since we are unable to celebrate YIAYIA-PAPPOU Sunday in the usual way, we would love for our children (all ages) to celebrate their grandparents by making a construction paper sign and filling in the blank and taking a picture, and sending it to Father Anastasios at asathanasiou@gmail.com by Wednesday, September 9th to be included in the Sunday slldeshow.
Please have your child/children complete appropriate sentence starter.

You may send more than one picture if you’d like.
