"Kids Giving to Kids" Sunday School Giving Tree
The Sunday School is collecting gifts for children through its annual giving tree. It is a nice opportunity for the children of the Sunday School, as well as the rest of the parish, to give to children truly in need. The gifts collected will be given to the students of the Hartwell Learning Center. Some of these students will not receive any other gifts than those we collect for them this Christmas.
In addition, gift cards to local supermarkets are welcome (in $10 denominations). These will be given to Fr. Dean & Fr. Greg for our church's Poor & Needy Fund and distribution at their discretion. The children of the Sunday School may feel free to offer up any small monetary donation, toward the purchase of these cards by the Sunday School program.
Please visit our tree in the Cotsidas Auditorium after liturgy on Sundays for details and to select an ornament that will truly make a difference in a child's life.

BOOKSTORE
Special Christmas CD at $10. Christmas Card Special 10 card package / $4.00. Plan ahead for Christmas gifts; Bibles, Children's books, etc.

GREEK SCHOOL PTA
The Greek School PTA will be selling their cookbooks $18.00 each, in the foyer of the Auditorium. Pick one up, they make great Christmas presents.

FAMILY CENTER NEWS
The Angel has landed. Have you seen our beautiful Angel adorning Russell St and challenging us to make our pledge? Take a peak and hopefully you will also be inspired to give.
Instead of Gifts for the Holidays that are discarded shortly after unwrapped, would you consider giving a gift in your family's name to our Family Center....it's a legacy that will last a lifetime.. We are asking for families to consider a pledge of $3,000 that can be paid over 3-years. This translates to $83 per month, less than most cable bills. Please complete your pledge envelope or see a Family Center Committee member to make your pledge.
Pledges to date: $2,012,213
