Stewardship Request from Very Rev. Vasilios Bassakyros.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Throughout the Four Gospels we read many examples that our Lord Jesus Christ uses in order to inculcate within his audience a way to live that He expects all of his followers to emulate. One of these ways was to tell stories through parables. He uses parables to help His followers see and understand the responsibility they have if they expect to grow spiritually as authentic Christians. That responsibility is very evident in the Parable of the Talents written in both St. Matthew and St. Luke’s Gospels.

NEW OUTREACH PROGRAMS Thank you all so much for your continuing support of St. John's and its new outreach programs. We have added the Mommy and Me Program on every Tuesday from 11-1 p.m. and the Adult Greek School Language Class every Wednesday at 8:15 p.m. Both of these programs have be very well received and has surpassed our expectations. It is our hope to continue adding programs to our outreach as they become needed. We are looking for children who would like to attend our Afternoon Greek School. If you are interested please call or email Fr. Vasilios so that we can start this coming Fall semester. So once again thanks to all of you for your active participation at St. John's. Very Reverend Archimandrite Vasilios Bassakyros
