Truly He is Risen! Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there and most especially to our Fr. Andrew! Your choir is preparing for a very important event coming up on June 30th at St. Spyridon. The Synodal Divine Liturgy with His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros and the members of the Holy Eparchial Syn- od. A very exciting Divine Liturgy and an honor for the choir. Your youth choir will also be participating in the Divine Liturgy as well. Please come and join us for this momen- tous occasion. Our church festival is here. We hope that everyone will sign up for a shift or two to help out. It takes many helping hands to make this event a success. The biggest birthday wishes to Anna Marzouk, Anthony Mentas, and Di- ane Leffas Lopes. May God grant you many years. Your choir family loves you. “A father is neither an anchor to hold us back nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.” Unknown Singing His Praises, Katherine Loukatos Meck Choir Master NEWS LOFT FROM THE Narthex Volunteers Needed Please consider volunteering as a Narthex Duty Team Member to sup- port our Sunday Divine Services. Our Narthex Volunteers are neces- sary to ensure that our Sunday Ser- vices run smoothly and seamlessly and that the needs of our parishio- ners are met as they enter to attend services. Narthex Duty Teams only serve once every 4 or 5 weeks on rotation and it only takes a week or two to understand how things work. Please reach out to the church office at 619-297-4165 if you are interested in this very important opportunity to serve your community.
