Here’s a bit more on the two current segments of our ministry.

Moms & Tots

Moms & Tots is a ministry dedicated to families with elementary-aged children and younger. Our gatherings are designed to foster a sense of belonging and support among our members. Here's what you can expect from our biweekly meetings:

  • Inspirational Reading: We educate our children with captivating Orthodox Christian children's books, imparting valuable spiritual lessons in an enjoyable and interactive manner.

  • Joyful Song and Dance: Together, we celebrate our faith through the beauty of music and movement, creating cherished moments for both parents and little ones.

  • Creative Crafts: Encourage your child's imagination and creativity as we explore the world of art and crafts together, all while nurturing their spiritual growth.

 
 

Potlucks

In addition to our regular meetups, we invite you to our Family Potluck Dinners once or twice each semester. These gatherings are thoughtfully scheduled at 1:30pm to accommodate the busy lives of working parents. It's an opportunity for our young families to come together, share delicious meals, and build lasting connections within our Orthodox Christian community.

Join us in celebrating faith, family, and friendship. We look forward to meeting you!
