MINISTRY NEWS
PHILOPTOHOS NEWS Thank you to our Chairman Tricia Kremer and her great committee for
the beautiful Mother’s Day Luncheon and Fashion Show! We had a
wonderful day as we honored our Philoptohos Mother of the Year
Susan Patzakis. Thank you to all of you who supported us whether by
attending the luncheon or placing an ad in the program book. It is
truly because of your generosity that we are able to continue our work
of helping the suffering and the poor as well as our Cathedral.
SHOES FOR HOMELESS CHILDREN project: Our Philoptohos is
spearheading a drive with the FOCUS group to get one new pair of
athletic shoes to homeless children registered in the Los Angeles
Unified School District, two times a year. There are 60,000 children
registered as ‘homeless’ in the Los Angeles schools, more than any
other city in the United States. They live in cars and they live on the
streets. Focus has put us in touch with a major shoe manufacturer that
will be donating all of the shoes. Our chapter is going to be
volunteering and working at the warehouse/storage facility sorting
shoes for the deliveries. We will be having more activities for this major
project throughout the year. If you are interested in helping and
joining in the work, you may call the church office and leave your
phone number for Judie Christopoulos. Thank you!
PENNIES AND PRAYERS: Our Pennies and Prayer’s collection is taking
place currently in the Sunday School Classrooms, as well as in the
coffee hour foyer at the ‘welcome’ table. Pennies ‘n Prayers is a
group developed by Metropolitan Gerasimos to start new mission
parishes and help them become self-sufficient. If you wish to donate,
please send a donation with your children to Sunday School or you
may leave it at the office marked for Philoptohos Pennies and Prayers.
Donations should be received before the end of May.
Thank you to all who donated to our collection for the Domestic
Violence Agency. One in four women will experience some type of
domestic violence in her lifetime. Women ages 20 to 24 are at the
greatest risk for abuse. More than 1.5 million women are abused by a
partner or spouse every year. The circle of violence is not easily
broken. One out of three women who are victims of homicide are
murdered by a spouse or boyfriend.
Our General Assembly and Election Meeting is immediately after
liturgy today. Please come directly to the second floor of the
Huffington Center to the General Assembly Room when you are
dismissed from church. There will be a short meeting before elections.
With love in Christ’s service,
Virginia Noyes and the Philoptohos Board of Directors

STEWARDSHIP NEWS
CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP is what WE DO after we say WE BELIEVE. It is with deep gratitude that we acknowledge our Parishioners’ positive and generous response to our 2013 stewardship appeal. As we thank you for being worthy stewards of the church, we thank God from whom all blessings flow. If you have not yet responded to our stewardship appeal, we kindly ask you to please do so by using one of the following methods:
RETURN your PLEDGE CARD, mailed to you in January.
Christian Stewardship is a way of life and a way for our Church, like all churches, to meet our financial obligations in order to be able to care for our Parishioners. Participation acknowledges accountability, reverence and responsibility before God.
