ANNOUNCEMENTS:
· Memorial Service/Coffee Hour: The Karos family will be having a Memorial Service and sponsoring Coffee Hour for Tom Karos on his 40 days. Memory Eternal!
- Church Picnic: Two of our Sunday School children will be standing by the doors to the vestibule to collect donations so that we can have a blow up play area for the children during the picnic. All donations are much appreciated.
- Vacation Bible School: For any parents who are interested in attending Vacation Bible School at St. George Antiochian Church, please see Stacey Zahoranski with any questions. If we have a lot of interested families, we could all work together to coordinate car pools, in order to help get the children to and from the camp, as we know many parents work during the day. Copies of the flyer and registration forms for the 2011 summer church camp can be found at the Candle Table.
- E-mail addresses, cell phone numbers and other updated contact information is needed: The Board is working on an updated membership and 'friends of the parish' directory. We are mostly seeking out e-mail addresses from everyone, so that we can communicate with parish family members more frequently and more efficiently! Please see a Board Member to give your e-mail address and updated contact information, if you haven't done so already.
- St. Thomas Youth: We are still seeking committee chair and members for the Youth Committee. Please see a Board Member if you are interested helping to make a difference in the lives of our young children at St. Thomas.
- 2011 Christmas Pageant and 2012 Lenten "LOCK-IN" and Retreat: The Board would like to have the Youth of St. Thomas put on a 2011 Christmas Pageant this year, and would also like to host a fun 2012 Lenten Retreat and Lock-in too! This would be for all St. Thomas youth and for any other children from our community who are interested. If we gather a good committee, and start planning really early, we can make this happen for our children. Our children are the future of St. Thomas!!! Please volunteer your time for these important events, for the future of St. Thomas!! Please contact Stacey Zahoranski if you are interested in helping with either event! Call Stacey at 330-819-0486 cell phone or Stacey.zahoranski@wfadvisors.com.
