ST. KATHERINE'S YOUTH MEETING
This Friday we are blessed to have Fr. Abraam lead our discussion titled "Touching His Wounds". Please join us at St. Basil American Coptic Orthodox Church, and remember, this is a potluck, so bring a dish to share if you can. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We look forward to sharing an evening of discussion and fellowship with you!
ANNOUNCEMENTS, VISITATIONS & CONFESSIONS
Please let us know if you have any upcoming important events for us to share with our fellow congregants. Special events are best shared amongst our family, and we encourage you to send an email to priest@stbasil.net to share your special news. In addition, if you would like to schedule a time for a visit or confession with Father Kyrillos Ibrahim, please email priest@stbasil.net or approach him after the Liturgy on Sunday.
FOCUS SAN DIEGO
Each Wednesday, volunteers from all of the Orthodox parishes in San Diego county work together through FOCUS at God's Extended Hand to help provide meals for the hungry. God's Extended Hand has been providing food and shelter to people in downtown San Diego since 1924 at 1625 Island Ave., San Diego, CA 92101. Teenagers and young adults from all parishes are asked to volunteer the 1st Wednesday of every month, and all the congregants of St. Basil's are asked to serve on the 3rd and 4th Wednesdays of the month; for months that have a 5th Wednesday, FOCUS asks all parishes to volunteer on that day. Help is needed with preparing and cooking the food from 3:00-6:00pm and serving the food and cleaning up from 6:20-7:00pm. Children are welcome to help their parents serve. Please stop by for any amount of time you can serve each week! If you have any questions, please contact Mary Jensen.
SAN DIEGO COPTIC CLUB
The San Diego Coptic Club is a fellowship for the college-aged youth of San Diego and hosts weekly spiritual meetings and social events. The meetings take place every week on Thursday evenings at 7 pm, alternating between spiritual meetings at the UC San Diego campus in La Jolla and social events which are held at a variety of places, like the beach, bowling, and many more! Coptic Club provides a fellowship to help youth grow in the love of Christ together and have a bond of unity in His name during a critical time of their lives. If you have questions or to join their mailing list, please reach out to David Kneiber.
WEBSITE & HYMNS
We encourage all congregants to take some time to check out the parish website. All are also encouraged to listen to the liturgical hymns as they are chanted at St. Basil, which can be found here.
FOOD & CLEAN-UP
To sign up to bring food for the agape meal on Sundays, please see the bulletin board at church or contact Erene Hanna. 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.
