April 1st – April Fools 
In the Greek Orthodox Tradition the Monday after Easter is reserved for Joke Telling – When Jesus died, the devil thought he had won, but three days later our Savior rose from the dead crushing the devil and death once for all. 

Living Nativity is coming up soon so we are working on the plans for already.
This year will be similar to last year:

December 2nd – Saturday 10am – Building of Bethlehem at Mtn Valley Gardens 
December 7th – Thursday 7pm – Snow Flake Parade – We will have a float and need a few actors for it
December 9th-10th – Saturday- Sunday – 4-7pm – Weekend #1 of the Living Nativity
December 15th-16th – Friday-Saturday – 4-7pm – Weekend #2 of the Living Nativity
December 18th- Monday – 10am Tear down

We need help with all aspects, especially actors/actresses.  Remember, there is no lines to memorize, and we provide the costumes (unless you have your own wise man costume stashed away)

This is a great opportunity to serve our community together and provide them with a bit of the hope and peace that Christ gives us.
