All-Saints Day Huge Success!

Thank you for all the wonderful servants who gave up their time and energy to put together a fabulous event!! This year, the kiddos (including those of all ages who attended) got to enjoy some fun carnival games, pet live puppies, and there was also lots of candy and wonderful fellowship. The saints who made an appearance and told their stories was the highlight of the night! Till next year, God willing!

 
 

Women’s Fellowship Meeting

Last week, the ladies had a wonderful gathering where a spiritual talk was given by Fr. Kyrillos Ibrahim for a contemplation on a modern example of Christian devotion and a wounderous life!  Like usual, there was some amazing potluck food which many brought to the meeting. God bless everyone who brought food, supplies, created the beautiful table center-pieces, and other efforts which made the night a huge success.
