Our chapter meets on the first Sunday of each month after Liturgy and fellowship. The benevolvent works of Philoptochos are a continuation of Christ's ministry on earth to help the poor, the sick, and the community. Another purpose is to help our church with its many ministries.

Please join us for our upcoming events:

• Palm Sunday Luncheon on after Liturgy on 4/9 at the Hellenic Center
• Pocket Book Bingo on May 7th

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 2023, 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 exceed $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.

Capital Building Campaign 

OUR MISSION

The Mission of our Capital Construction Campaign Committee is to raise the necessary funds that will help us renovate, repair, and enhance Kimisis as a part of a reasonable, complete, and effective long-range plan. 

OUR VISION

For Kimisis to thrive, it’s vital that we continue to make Capital Improvements to our Church facilities – especially as we prepare for our centennial celebration.

The structures in which we both worship and serve God must be maintained for the health, well-being, and growth of the Body of Christ. We hope to ensure that our efforts will result with lasting solutions so that we can provide future generations the opportunity to worship our Savior in both Spirit and in Truth. 

OUR PLAN

Our vision for a healthy physical worship space has already started to materialize. Projects that have already improved to our Church facilities have included:

Heating/Air Conditioning, roof repair, masonry/steps repair, Installation of hand-rails, LED screens/monitors, installation of flag pole, renovation of Archpriest icon on Bishops throne

Phase I Projects

Church windows/casings, ceiling, asses and repair water damage to exterior/interior of Church (i.e. interior/exterior walls), repairs to Hellenic Center

Phase II Projects

Repairs to parking lot, renovation of restrooms and office areas, installation of new lighting fixtures

Phase III Projects

Aesthetical improvements to worship space & altar area, hellenic center, offices & classrooms

KIMISIS WISH LIST

With the many wonderful events that will be taking place at Kimisis such as Holy Week, our feast day in August, and our Centennial celebration in October, parishioners have inquired as to how they might be able to contribute to the worship and beautification at Kimisis. 

Below is our church's "wish list.” These are items that we either need now, or must replace in the future.  If you would like to contribute toward one or more of these items, please contact Fr Jason at the Church office, or a member of our parish council.

Please bear in mind that giving towards these items is not a replacement for one's annual stewardship commitment. However, all donations are tax deductible, and will be included on your quarterly giving statements.

The list below contains items with estimated prices that will help us decide how we can contribute to the worship and beautification of our parish home. Please take a “WISH LIST” card home, and return it to the Church office at your convenience once you have made a decision with regards to how you may help with these efforts.
