VACATION CHURCH SCHOOL... VACATION CHURCH SCHOOL- This faith based day camp will be held for the first time off the Metropolis grounds and our Parish of St. Nicholas will host Vacation Church School this year!!! VCS is for our youth and is for ages 4-12 and will run from 9:30AM—2:30PM during August 3- August 7. The children begin their day with a short prayer service followed by sessions which include Orthodox Life, music, indoor and outdoor activities, and fine arts. It is a great opportunity for children to learn more about their faith and establish a closer relationship with Christ while having fun.

If you would like more information about Vacation Church School please email our Metropolis Youth Director, Dino Pappas dinopappas@boston.goarch.org

This is a wonderful opportunity for our parish of St. Nicholas to host this Metropolis Ministry! I encourage and I ask all of our HOPE/JOY families to attend this week of FUN, FAITH AND FELLOWSHIP!
