KIDZ4KIDZ CHRISTMAS DRIVE: We will be spreading Christmas cheer to some of our local extraordinary special needs children in local shelters by collecting new toys from Nov. 1st to Dec. 12th. We are requesting new, clean non-violent toys. Also, we are in need of jeans, socks, shower gift sets (boys and girls), earbuds and touch-screen gloves. We are NOT collecting stuffed animals. Items may be brought on Sundays and placed in the bin located in the entrance (exonarthex) of the Cathedral or dropped off at the church office during weekly business hours. Please call Eva Kostides at 219-308-8370 with any questions.
JR. GOYA PILLOW & BLANKET DRIVE will be taking place the months of September and October. Share the warmth this winter by donating brand-new pillows and blankets for the people of the local domestic abuse and homeless shelters. Donations may be brought to the narthex on Sundays or the church office during business hours.
GOYA SHOES & BOOTS DRIVE: Jr. GOYA is collecting new or slightly used shoes and boots for needy school children through November. Items can be brought to the church office during business hours or dropped at the collection box in the narthex on Sundays.
KIDZ4KIDZ ST. NICHOLAS GIVING TREE: Is an extension of our Kidz4Kidz outreach. Shopping for a child or senior citizen starts the week of Nov. 17th. Stay tuned to see how you can participate and help make a difference in a specific local person’s life this Christmas.
CELEBRATION OF ST. NICHOLAS: In celebration of the Feast Day of St. Nicholas (Dec. 6th), bring an extra shoe to church on Sunday, Dec. 4th and leave it in the exonarthex during the Divine Liturgy near the St. Nicholas Giving Tree. After church, pick up your shoe to see what surprise St. Nicholas has left for you! This celebration is intended for all of our parishioners (children, young adults, parents and grandparents).
YOUTH MINISTRIES REGISTRATION is ongoing online at https://ssconstantineandhelen.square.site/youth-ministry.
HELLENIC DANCERS PRACTICE: Wednesdays with the junior group from 6:30-7:30 p.m. and senior group 7:30-8:00 p.m. See Taki Zarakas for details.
YOUTH RETREAT SPONSORSHIPS: We are offering monthly retreats for our youth in 6th-12th grades with the purpose of equipping them with the practices of our Orthodox faith so they can grow closer to God in their lives. If anyone can sponsor a portion or the full cost of one of these retreats so that we can continue supporting our youth through these ministry offerings, see Fr. Ted or Fr. Dimitri.
COLLEGE STUDENT ADDRESSES WANTED: This month, many of our college age students are returning to school, and every year we ask their mailing addresses and/or e-mails to be submitted to the church office by Sept. 1st. New college students or students with new contact info can submit their information on line at tinyurl.com/sschcollege.
