St. Barbara Orthodox Church - Announcements & Upcoming Events

This coming Sunday, August 31st, during Coffee Hour, Matushka Christine (our Church School Coordinator) and Fr. Basil will be meeting with teachers to discuss activities for the 2008-2009 school year. The following Sunday, September 7, 2008, there will be a meeting for all students, parents, and teachers, also during Coffee Hour.

Currently the plan is to have our first class on Saturday, September 13 at 4:30 pm. This date is consistent with our usual practice of having Church School on the 2nd Saturday of each month. It is also the eve of the Feast of the Elevation of the Cross to be celebrated on Sunday, September 14. Parents and teachers go ahead and mark these days (Sept. 13 & 14) on your calendar.

Previously we announced the birth of Anna Robertovna O. to Robert and Natalia O. on Sunday, June 22. Anna’s baptism is scheduled for 5 pm on Saturday, September 6. Please mark you calendars for this joyous event!

November 10-13 the 15th All American Council of the Orthodox Church in America will take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Anyone may attend as observers, and, as always, we recommend that people take the opportunity to go whenever possible to these gatherings. For more information, including hotel reservations and notes on the pre-Council Town Hall Meetings that have been taking place around the U.S. & Canada, please visit the Council Website.
