FAITH UNASHAMED

Teenagers Girls 13 to 18 years old

Parents interested in signing up your daughter, need to call the monastery (903) 498-4474 or e-mail the monastery at nativitymonastery@gmail.com.

Guest Speaker: Katherine Saclarides

This presentation is about the calling to do mission work in the Orthodox Church. We will learn about examples of mission work in the history of the Orthodox Church, and see how we can begin our mission work right in our own communities. My prayer is that you will be inspired to be a 'local missionary' following the presentation. I will also include examples of my own missionary work in Ethiopia and Albania.
