We wrapped up an amazing week of VBS with a special visit from the New Castle Fire Department! 🚒 The kids had a blast working the controls and even got to spray the firehose! 💦

Throughout the week, the kids played and learned together. They learned the Lord's Prayer, the Jesus Prayer, and the "Oh Lord grant me to meet the day in peace..." prayer. 🙏

Father Kevin blessed each child with a beautiful Orthodox prayer rope bracelet.

A huge thank you to Carlo DiNardo for organizing this year's VBS, and to all the wonderful volunteers who dedicated their time to make this event a great success.

God willing, we will do it again next year! ☦️

Day 4 of St. Elias VBS was extra special! Huge thanks to Sheriff Deputy Baldelli and K-9 Baki from the Lawrence County Sheriff's Department for stopping by and showing us the incredible work K-9 units do. Another unforgettable experience for both our kids and adults!

☦️ Such a fun first day of St. Elias VBS! ☦️

We started the day with a Q&A session with Father Kevin where the kids asked some fantastic questions on a variety of topics. It was so inspiring to see their curiosity and eagerness to learn!

The Q&A was followed with fun activities, including games, arts & crafts, and some outside play time. We finished the day enjoying a delicious lunch together.

Can't wait for tomorrow's adventures! Reach out if you’d like to join us!

On June 5, 2024, a group of Antiochian Women from the Diocese of Los Angeles met virtually with His Eminence Metropolitan Saba. They posed a host of questions to our father in Christ as he shared with them the wisdom of the Holy Orthodox Church, as well as his experiences in his own Christian life.

🏁✨Our first Pinewood Derby was a success, filled with excitement, laughter, fellowship, and some friendly competition! Both kids and kids at heart had a great time designing, building, and racing their cars. 🚗💨
