Community Center Loan Reminder and Update
As you probably remember, our bank loan for the Community Center became effective February 13, 2018. We are now 6 months in to the loan. As a part of our loan requirement, we need to raise $36,000 every six months. Thanks to those who are continuing to donate to the Community Center Fund. If we break the total down by the number of Stewardship Families, using 100 families, if each family is able to give $360 every 6 months (about $2/day) in addition to our regular stewardship pledge, this would meet our required payment. Please continue to support our efforts to repay the loan as we continue to enjoy fun and fellowship on our New Community Center!
Yiayia's Attic
We need items for our very first Yiayia's Attic at our Greek Festival. Go through your closets, attics, and storage areas, and bring any gently used or new items you would like to donate for us to sell in Yiayia's Attic. Suggested items: books, furniture, sports equipment, small appliances, utensils, home décor, etc. NO CLOTHES PLEASE. Items can be brought to the church (SLC) or pick up can be scheduled...If you aren't sure or have any questions, feel free to ask Nick Salis (918) 261-3402 or nicksalis25@gmail.com
Centennial Book
Thank you very much to all the parishioners who submitted their family stories. It has helped us tremendously to determine the layout for our book. We may have more room for more family submissions in the book and/or on the dvd. If you missed the deadline and still want to have your family story included, we are extending a new Final, Final, Final deadline for submissions to November 30, 2018. Please contact Gina Kingsley (greekmuse@cox.net or 918-625-1491). We are still in need of submissions for some of our Ministries and Groups: Sons of Pericles, Maids of Athena, YAL, Joy/Hope, Vacation Church/Bible School, Greek School, Greek Dance, etc. If you are willing to write a brief paragraph or provide comments it will help make our Centennial Book and Celebration that much better! Thank You.
Prayer List For Monthly Newsletter
As you saw in the last monthly newsletter, we will be starting a Prayer List section in our newsletter. Please send your name if you would like to be included in this section. We will include the names of our Church Leaders and any others who ask to be included. Thank you.
High Chairs in the Hall
We want to thank a donor for the high chairs that are now available in the Hall, and will continue to be put to good use by all the babies and toddlers in our community! Please take care in moving and storing them, a couple have already been damaged. It would be best if we leave them set up around the perimeter of the Hall for easy access and use during fellowship on Sundays and other events. Thank you.
Adult Greek Dance...Another Great Opportunity for Fellowship
It's time for the adults to have some fun and dance! We had a great time last Sunday evening Greek Dancing, along with fun fellowship opportunity as well! We will continue to meet and keep it simple, so everyone will be able to have fun: first timers to 'experienced' dancers.
Not a dancer? Not a problem, come and enjoy the fun and fellowship, Sunday at 6:00 pm
