SUNDAY CHURCH SCHOOL
We invite all youth to join us immediately following communion. Activities will be shared to journey through Lent. Today all those with icons bring them to participate in the Icon Processional commemorating Sunday of Orthodoxy. If you don’t have one we will provide one for you so you can participate. We ask all of you to be here next Sunday, the 24th, for our commemoration of March 25th.
ANGELS/ASTERIA DANCERS
Asteria dance practice today after church.
There will be no Angels Dance group this year, unless someone steps up to teach/assistant teach. Please contact Andrea Campbell if you are able to help, (561) 758-2606.

PROSFORO
Of the many ways of supporting our Church, there are few which stand out as uniquely personal offerings of faith. The offering of Prosforo bread for the Divine Liturgy is one of them. We are thankful to the handful of ladies who have faithfully fulfilled this responsibility over the years and we invite more of our faithful - especially young families with children - to make this a part of their lives as well. Want to be added to our Prosforo list? Please see Maria Simeon.
Please make sure that Prosforo is in church before the start of the Orthros service on Sunday. Please write the date (or put a sticker with the date) on the plastic bags with the Prosforo. That way the oldest will be used first. Thank you for your help.
