!!! ATTENTION!!! Help is needed to fold palms into Crosses for Palm Sunday on Saturday, April 4 th after the Divine Liturgy. Please bring your red dyed hard boiled eggs to the Church during Holy Week by Holy Thursday so they may be wrapped in tulle for distribution at the Paschal Liturgy. IT DOESN T JUST HAPPEN... Help is needed on Holy Thursday evening (after the service) to assist Steve Nicholas with attaching the forms that hold the beautiful flowers that adorn the Epitaphio. This is a great way to learn this art form! If you are able to assist him, please contact the church office or call Steve @ 302-897-1029. The more hands he has to help with this great service to our Lord the easier the task!! Can you lend a hand? Epitaphios Flower Tray Philoptochos will pass a second tray on, April 5th to defray some of the expense to decorate the Kouvouklion where the Epitaphios is placed on Holy and Great Friday. Please give generously.
