ANDREW Greetings Friends of the Choir, February is American Heart Month and Go Red for Women. Did you know that heart disease is the num- ber 1 killer for women above Cancer and anything else? So what does it mean to “Go Red for Women?” e rst Friday each February, American Heart Month, the nation comes to- gether, igniting a wave of red from coast to coast. From landmarks to news anchors, neighborhoods to online communi- ties; this annual groundswell unites millions of people for a common goal: the eradication of heart disease and stroke. Won’t you all join me and wear your red on Friday, February 5th ? In conjunction with American Heart Month, our Philoptochos will be having their membership drive on Saturday, February 27th at 11:00am via Zoom. I will be giving a healthy cooking demonstrating using Pam- pered Chef product to promote healthy eating but also kick o Philoptochos’ virtual fundraiser with Pampered Chef. Anyone can join. See the yer [on page 7] for more in- formation. Lastly, we want to wish our Fr. An- drew a very, happy birthday! May God grant you many more years. We hope that you have a nice celebration with your family at home. We will all be thinking of you. Singing His Praises!

Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them” (Ro- mans 12:9-14). I look forward to seeing you and praying with you in the months to come.
