Parish Christmas Card
Each Christmas our Philoptochos sends out a beautiful icon Christmas card. This card is signed with the names of those who choose to send Christmas greetings in this way to others in our church community, near and far, with a donation to Philoptochos. Philoptochos uses this money to fund various philanthropic projects.
We are hoping that during this difficult year of many trials, that many of you will choose to include your name, or your family’s names, in this Christmas card. Forms can be found in the Bulletin Inserts section, on the church website and in the November-December issue of Glad Tidings. Please submit forms by Sunday, December 6th.
Christmas Flowers
We welcome your donations for Christmas floral decorations. Names of those you wish to memorialize will be listed in the Christmas bulletin.
