Announcements
Events Calendar

• September 8 is a solemn holy day for the Nativity of the Theotokos. The Saturday evening liturgy at 6 p.m. this week will be for the holy day. It does not count as a vigil liturgy for Sunday. Come for liturgy Saturday evening and attend again on Sunday morning. So you get to glorify God on back-to-back days at St. Athanasius this week. This Friday is a day of simple abstinence from meat or equivalent penance in preparation for the holy day.
• The following week on September 14 is the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, another solemn holy day.
• The next Wellness class will convene in St. Mary’s Hall on Tuesday at 7 p.m. Participants will watch the DVD on nutrition by Dr Joel Fuhrman and how you can improve your life by using food as medicine.
• Spiritual Compassion Session for Cancer Families is a new ministry slated for Wednesday at 7 p.m. Two sessions per month will be held on the first & third Wednesdays of the month. Come and see what this new ministry is all about.
• The ancient Healing Services for September are scheduled for September 12^th and 26^th.
• The August birthdays were: Linda Stenger, Matthew Arbuckle, Robert Sidor, and Marge Hays. Birthdays in September are: Richard Medwig, Karen Ybarra, John Elias Russell, John Robert Russell, Jessica Ybarra, and Natalya Yurkus. God grant your servants many happy and blessed years!
