AHEPA News Our AHEPA chapter as well as the district is offering scholarships to worthy students and applications are being accepted.  See George Zacharias president or Allen Nelson scholarship committee chair.

Sunday School Sunday we will have a brief Sunday School immediately after communion for all children in attendance. The children will return to church for the Palm Sunday Processional. Also, next Sunday immediately after the Agape service, approximately at 2:00 there will be an Easter Egg Hunt for all children under 12. Any donations of filled plastic eggs would be appreciated. They can be left in the Parish House anytime this week. We will also be distributing a Church School survey to all parents in the next couple of weeks. We want to develop a Church School that will serve the families of St. John.
