Dear Teachers, Parents and Students,

Glory Be to Jesus Christ! Glory Forever!

Today starts the Nativity Fast!  All the students should have gotten their home Advent projects in the mail. If you did not receive one there will be extras in Sunday School.

The children are studying about the Orthodox Church throughout the world through the IOCC prayer book.  There will be a collection on Sundays for the IOCC-sponsored baby kits the children will send out this season.  Also a food drive for Onward House is sponsored.  Bring goods to the bins in Sunday School!

Save the date!  December 13th is the Sisterhood Cookie Walk.  There will be a $1 craft for the children from 1-3p.m.  Also the children will assemble the baby kits during this time.  Father John will then have a brief Reconciliation Service followed by confessions.  We hope to see everyone involved.

Finally save the dates January 3rd for the Yolka practice.  We will survey the parents for a morning or afternoon time.  The Yolka will be held January 4th immediately after Divine Liturgy.

Have a prayerful and reflective Advent season.
