All faithful must be careful to protect those who are not vaccinated, including those with pre-existing conditions and children under the age of twelve. If you are not feeling well or have any symptoms that are associated with Covid-19, please stay home and seek medical attention. More importantly, notify Fr. Jason by calling the Church office.

Our goal at Kimisis is to provide a safe and healthy worship experience for our parish family as we implement the current safety guidelines from our civil and ecclesiastical authorities.

The benevolent works of Philoptochos are a continuation of Christ’s ministry on earth.  We have an opportunity, through our participation in the ministries and programs of Philoptochos, to return our time, talents, and resources back to God.

Another purpose of Philoptochos is to help the Church with its many ministries. Philoptochos is an organization of women who enjoy the fellowship and spiritual enrichment of working together as Orthodox Christians. 

Our chapter meets monthly in our church hall. Fundraisers, activities, and service projects are planned for our monthly meetings. Our chapter also recognizes that evening meetings are not always the best time for all members. Special gatherings may also be scheduled at certain times, and will be announced in advance.

UKRAINE RELIEF FUND

On March 3, 2022, the Executive Board of the National Philoptochos Society unanimously approved an immediate emergency disbursement of $10,000 to IOCC to support humanitarian relief efforts in the emerging crisis in Ukraine. In addition, the Society is soliciting donations for a special, earmarked fund, the National Philoptochos Ukraine Relief Fund. Funds raised for this purpose will be distributed to IOCC to support their relief activities in the region. The generosity of Philoptochos is well known and much appreciated throughout the world. The people of Ukraine need our love and our support at this time and once again, Philoptochos will answer the plea. Please keep the victims, their families and loved ones in your prayers and please be as generous as possible. Donations can continued to be sent to our local Philoptochos chapter or by selecting the following link

Is our giving compatible with both the expectations of God and the needs of Kimisis?

Kimisis is our spiritual home. It’s where we as a spiritual family gather for prayer, celebration, and healing. It is where we belong! 

Who said that managing a household is easy? Life is full of ups, and downs. We must make the best of every opportunity that God gives us. We must also remember to give thanks for the responsibility of stewardship.

As we enter the new year, please give prayerful consideration to the commitment of time, talent, and treasure. Remember, as grateful as we are for your financial contributions - we’re even more grateful for you!  It’s your desire to worship with us here at Kimisis, and your service to God that helps keep our mission alive.

Let us ask ourselves: Is our giving is compatible with the needs of Kimisis. As you may remember, with expenses that approach $22,000/mo, it is suggested that if possible, every family (i.e. stewardship unit) make a minimum contribution of $1,300/yr to the Church.
