HOPE & JOY Ministries
Mission & Calendar of Events Welcome
to HOPE & JOY! HOPE (Holy Orthodox Primary Education, grades K-2) and JOY (Junior Orthodox Youth, grades 3-6)
are ministries of the Orthodox Church. HOPE & JOY are not organizations or clubs but are a gathering of the faithful
of the Church who share the same grades, ages, and common interestes.
A child's world, today, is very challenging.
The positive teachings and traditions of the Orthodox Church must become a living presence in the lives of our chidlren.
Ministry to our children is a necessity and can be very helpful during those challenging times.
The mission of
HOPE & JOY is to stengthen the relationship of young Orthodox Christians with our Lord through worship, fellowship, service
and witness. The program works to educate and edify young members of the Church, encouraging them to become active sacramental
participants in the life of the Body of Christ. These ministires offer our young Orthodox Christians the opportunity
to experience the Faith, ultimately leading them to salvation. HOPE & JOY are but ne means to this end; they must
not stand alone, but rather be incorporated into the entore life of the Church and its mission.
We have a wonderful
program and special thanks to all the HOPE & JOY volunteers who make the program possible.
Click for: Our 2010 calendar of events we look forward you becoming part of our HOPE & JOY program.
