HTGOC Monthly Youth UpdateSeptember 2018

Dear Parents and Parish Family,

On behalf of all of our Youth Workers at Holy Trinity I want to welcome everyone back and to express how excited we are to get started! This year we have some wonderful things planned for our kids. We have some new ideas, new team members, and lots of fun and Christ centered fellowship planned for this year.

This year our Sunday School will offer a NEW Curriculum! The change will be for the elementary School aged children. The new program is called “The Gospel Project”. This curriculum is centered on the scriptures and gives our kids a wonderful foundation. Greek School will be offering a Sunday Class for Kids! This class will begin in September and will meet after Sunday School. Please see Mrs. Dawn Anagnos with questions. We would also like to welcome three new members to the HOPE and JOY team. Welcome to Alexia Hickman, Elena Xenofontos, and Natalie Jackson.

Parents, we are so thankful for another year and for the opportunity to work with you and your children. Your dedication to the Youth Ministries here at the Cathedral is key. Lets remember to do as Christ said, “Bring the Children to me” in order that they may strengthen their relationship with Him.

In Christ,

Father Larry
