Good afternoon, Dear-to-Christ Parishioners of Saint Andrew,

It is with deep sadness and hope in the Resurrection of our Lord that we announce the passing of beloved parishioner, +Emma Bauersfeld (Panayota), this morning after a prolonged illness.

Emma, her husband Ken, and their children and family were long-time parishioners of Saint Andrew.

Information regarding services, which will begin tonight, are listed below.

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR EMMA BAUERSFELD

Friday, February 21 (Today): At 6:00 PM, a wake with light refreshments followed by a short Trisagion to begin around 7:00 PM at St Andrew Greek Orthodox Church, Lubbock, TX.

Saturday, February 22: The funeral for Emma Bauersfeld will be served from 9:00AM at St Andrew Greek Orthodox Church. (The Saturday of Souls Divine Liturgy previously scheduled for tomorrow is canceled.)

Emma will be transported to Holy Arch Angels in Kendalia, TX for her interment, so there will be no graveside service locally to attend.

Please share this information with those you know who know Emma and her beloved family. Memory eternal.

This year’s theme is Full of Grace: The Theotokos in the Life of the Church. Our goal this year is to provide our children with opportunities to learn about our Church's rich traditions, teachings, and reverence to the Theotokos and build a foundation of devotion that children can actively integrate into their lives, both at home and in the church.

The general schedule for each evening will be as follows:

5:30 p.m. - Drop off

5:35 - 6:00 p.m. - Dinner with learning activity

6:00 - 6:45 p.m. - Learning activities, stories/teachings, and crafts

*6:45 - 7:00 p.m. - Pick up time and "quieting" activity (to transition children to join their friends and families for the Paraklesis services on Wednesday and Thursday evenings in the church)

7:00 p.m. - Parish Hall CLOSED (please note that children will not be allowed to stay in the parish hall or courtyard and play during the Paraklesis services so as not to distract worshipers, so pick-up time is strict. However, we encourage everyone to join us at 7:00 p.m. in the church on these evenings and apply what they have learned in VCC!)

If you have any questions or concerns or would like to volunteer with this year’s Vacation Church Camp, please let Dk. Brandi Schreiber know at [email protected] or (806) 786-9864.

We hope to see all our children there!
