CHRIST IS IN OUR MIDST!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"We should not pursue a godly and virtuous way of life in order to win human praise, but we should choose it for the sake of our soul's salvation; for death is daily before our eyes, and human affairs are unpredictable."

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations to all the Holy Cross Mahragan al-Keraza participants. The 3rd and 4th graders achieved a "very good" grade, while the 5th and 6th graders achieved an "excellent." We are proud of our wonderful children! May God keep and bless them!

FOOD & CLEAN-UP

To sign up to bring food for the agape meal on Sundays please see the bulletin board at church or contact Tasoni Maryann. We need as many volunteers as possible to keep the church clean on Sundays after the Divine Liturgy. Please consider this important expression of stewardship.

May God bless and reward all of you who have so diligently offered food and helped to clean!
