Special Tray in Support of the T.H.E.O.S. School for the Feast of the Three Hierarchs A tray will be passed at the end of Liturgy today to offer our support for T.H.E.O.S., the Three Hierarchs Orthodox School. According to their website, "For nearly thirteen years, T.H.E.O.S. has served as the only Orthodox Christian elementary and junior high school in the Pittsburgh area. We continue to educate over ninety students from pre-school to the eighth grade providing them with academic excellence, building up both the mind and the heart. T.H.E.O.S. continues to be the school of choice for dedicated parents who want to provide children with a high quality education offered in a faithful and safe environment. `As our children grow older and take their place in society, what will set them apart? It will not be their talent or their temperament, but instead, it will be their character in Christ,` said Christal Chaney, Ph.D., Director of T.H.E.O.S." Thank you for offering your support for this important Pittsburgh area ministry.

Construction Reminder: Site Safety Guidelines Construction is underway on the new church site, so our new property is now an active construction worksite. The building committee, therefore, sends this message to us all: "With the long awaited start of our new Church campus starting in the next few days, we must ask all parishioners to follow a few simple requests. Please do not enter onto the construction site at any period of the day or week or stop along Cumberland and Babcock. There will be safety and liability issues that our contractor, Bridges & Company, has been asked to enforce. In the near future we will publish scheduled dates were supervised site visitation will be conducted for the entire Holy Trinity community. Look for these future dates, but until then, if you have any questions, please talk to Bill Fiedler or Jason Farmakis. Thank you for your understanding."
