HOPE and JOY

Chrissie Statton  [email protected]

HOPE (Holy Orthodox Primary Education) and JOY (Junior Orthodox Youth) are ministries of the Church aimed at our younger children. This year we are uniting the two groups into one meeting time. In the interest of simplifying things for parents who have children of many ages we will be meeting at the same time as GOYA 12:15- 1:15. The children in this group are generally kindergarten through 6th grade but of course we are flexible.

The purpose of HOPE & JOY is to provide a solid foundation for the growing Orthodox faith of our children. We are striving to provide them an opportunity for fun, faith and fellowship.

Please sign up for the GroupMe app/ group HOPE/JOY https://groupme.com/join_group/90747647/6fonTG75 or send an email to [email protected] to be kept up to date on any changes to the schedule. If you would be willing to help with organization of the group please contact Chrissie at the above email address. The following is a proposed list of activities/ events for the 2023/2024 school year. Feedback is welcome if you have additional activities in which you or your children would be interested.
