Beginning of the Church School and Tammies and Dancers

​

During the Divine Liturgy on first Sunday after Labor Day, we will offer our prayers to Almighty God to support and be of help to all our children, students, and teachers in the upcoming school year, enabling them to grow up to the benefit of the Church of God. We ask all our students on that day to bring their backpacks filled with their school supplies. In addition to our offering the traditional prayers and blessing for the school year, we will have a blessing of the backpacks as the children begin one more important year in their lives. I would kindly ask all the parents to bring their children on September 8, the first day of the new church school year, and register them in our parish school. Registration forms will be available in the church hall from the church school teachers, who will assist during the registration.

 

Also on September 8, the St. Stephen Tammies & Dancers will serve their Annual Tammie Brunch, following the Divine Liturgy. This is one of the most important fundraisers for the benefit of our Tammies & Dancers group. I ask all of you to invite and bring your family members and friends to the church and to stay for agape – the meal of love, hosted by the Tammies and Dancers. With your contribution (suggested donation is $10 per person), you will support the talent and labors of our children, as we strive to preserve our ethnic traditions and culture.

Every Monday during the month of September, new members are invited to join St. Stephen Tammies & Dancers at the rehearsals, which begin at 6:00 pm.
