Procession – The procession for the Great Entrance is once more taking place. All children are welcome to participate. They should come forward as the hymn for the procession begins, take an icon and line up in front of the first pew. If we run out of icons, they should still stay in the procession.
Presentation of Candles – On February 2, Fr. Andrii will bless the candles the children in our First Confession class will carry for Communion in June. He will present those candles to the students during Divine Liturgy on February 5. The students in this class are Olivia Irvin and Arina Sashchenko.
Scout Sunday – February 5 is Scout Sunday. Father Andrii will bless all scouts and scout leaders during Divine Liturgy on that day. If your student is a scout or you are a leader – Girl Scouts/Boy Scouts of USA, CYM, Plast – please give those names to Cynthia Sirick (czsirick@gmail.com) by February 2 so they may be listed in the February 5 Sunday bulletin.
“Pennies from Heaven” – Our annual Lenten alms-giving program will begin on February 26. Containers will go home on that day and we ask children to collect donations for a worthy charity (still to be determined). This program will continue until April 23.
