Parish NewsTeaching Liturgy - November 17thOn Sunday, November 17th, we will have our first teaching Liturgy for the year. Most of the Liturgy will be conducted in the English Language. We invite everyone to participate!
Roof FundraiserLiving in New England, the weather is not kind to buildings and our Church is no exception. Our current roof has serious issues that are allowing water into the church. The Parish Council recognized this over a year ago and has spent the time to investigate the options of repairing the existing roof or replacing it. In that regard we have established a “Roof Fundraising” campaign to raise $50,000. Our goal is to raise these funds over the next two months so the work can be finished during the early summer before our Festival in August. Your generous donation will help cover the cost of replacing the roof in order to preserve our church. With the support of our parishioners, as well as the benevolence of community businesses and individuals we have raised so far over $35,000.00! We would like to thank you for your unlimited love and support that you have shown for our church, and would kindly ask for your support so that we can overcome this obstacle. If you have questions, concerns, or just want more details about this important fundraising effort, please contact us at (603) 623-2045.
New Year’s Eve Celebration - December 31stPlease come and join us on New Year’s Eve to celebrate, together as a family, the upcoming year and the passing of the current one. The New Year’s Eve Celebration, will be held on December 31st, 2013 from 7pm till 1am at the Assumption Church Hall. For more information look for the flyer on page 11. We hope you can join us!

Philoptochos News
Youth News
Sunday SchoolWe have completed our first month and look forward to more fun in the upcoming months. Each week, the children are reviewing the Gospel Reading with their teachers. Please encourage them to discuss this at home . It is amazing how much they retain. On Sunday, November 17th, 2013, will be our Teaching Liturgy in church. We will keep all children in church on this day as Father Nenes describes the meaning of the Divine Liturgy. As always, we will take communion and return to our seats. Please remind the children that when in church, we are expected to be on our best behavior and to be respectful of all the parishioners.
Greek School NewsWe are off and running! We want to welcome back our wonderful teachers, Mr. Kitsis, Mrs. Stamoulis & Ms. Daphne Galatas. The church has purchased two beautiful computers for our children to be able to participate in online learning and lessons in Greek. A huge thank you to the Parish Council for the new computers.
Please discuss with your children the importance of staying on church property and being respectful of the property during the recess. As we get closer to darker hours during recess, we would like to have the children stay in the front of the Youth Center as it is lit. They also have the use of the youth center downstairs as it gets closer. No football, frisbie or soccer indoors. Also, if your children bring a snack to eat, please make sure they pick up after themselves. We continue to have to pick up wrappers and soda cans and crunched food on the rugs. Thanks for your understanding.
God Bless….Stephanie, Carol, Julie, Stacy & George

New Horizons Soup KitchenPlease join us on Sunday, November 24th, 2013 in celebration of our one year anniversary serving the homeless community of Manchester. Come serve and celebrate with us—everyone that has participated has not gone home without truly feeling blessed to have touched so many lives. Ask anyone that has served, it is a very rewarding experience to help. I look for approximately 12 servers each Sunday we work. Lately, we have only had 4 & 5 servers. Help in November and you will be thankful for the experience even if it is to serve food or talk to a client. The clients are thankful for everything we do!! It is only two hours (4-6PM). We meet in the parking lot at New Horizons and enter through the side door.
If interested, please contact my cell at 315-5026!!
In December, we will be serving on the 22nd, a few days before celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Join us, you will not be disappointed!!
