ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

• Welcome Visitors! We extend a warm welcome to visitors worshiping with us today. We would like to remind you that Holy Eucharist is reserved for those who have been baptized and/or Chrismated in the Orthodox Church and have prepared themselves to receive the Eucharist.
• Pascha Flowers - The Philoptochos will be collecting donations for the Pascha flowers today after Divine Liturgy in the Narthex.  These funds are used to purchase flowers to decorate the Solea and Epitaphion during the Paschal season.  
• Holy Trinity Bookstore - Holy Week Books have arrived!  We are selling them in the bookstore adjacent to the Coffee Hour Room for $25.00.  Come visit! 
• Save the Date! - The Spring General Assembly Meeting will be held next Sunday, April 6th, immediately following Divine Liturgy. Please plan to attend!
• Palm Folding and HOPE/GOYA Lenten Retreat - All ages are invited to meet in the Coffee Hour Room directly following the Lazarus Saturday service on April 12th. Adults & Goyans are asked to assist in the annual folding of the Palms for Sunday’s Liturgy.  The Hope & Goya groups will have a short Lenten retreat in the gym to include a lesson, craft, and indoor egg hunt (siblings are welcome).  Refreshments will be provided.  Come join us for a time of fellowship!
• Save the Date! - The annual Metropolis of Atlanta Pascha Picnic will take place on Saturday, April 26th, at the Diakonia Retreat Center in Salem, SC.  Detailed information will be sent out soon!  THANK YOU for keeping Saturday, April 26th, free of other commitments and for planning to enjoy the feast together as a parish and Metropolis family!!
• Save the Date! - The Spring Musicale will be held on Sunday, May 4th. Parishioners who are interested in participating in the musicale are asked to contact Despina Houlis at dhoulis@aol.com or by cell phone at (803) 269-9190 (text is best).
• Save the Dates! - Vacation Church School will be held June 9th-13th from 5:45 PM - 7:15 PM in the church gym. Our theme this year will be “Fruits of the Spirit.”  Registration will be held 4/27/25 - 6/1/25.  Ages 3 y.o. - 6th grade may participate, and 7th grade thru adults may volunteer to assist.
• Nursery/Cry Room Available - While all children are encouraged to participate in the Divine Liturgy, we recognize the challenge that parents face when their children become restless or noisy during the service. As a reminder, there is a nursery located off of the Narthex area in the Cathedral.  In consideration of our clergy and parishioners who are trying to worship, please use the nursery for a few minutes until your child has calmed down and can re-enter the sanctuary.  
• Protecting our Youth – Holy Trinity is committed to the safety of all our parishioners, and especially our youth. Protecting our children is our top priority, and we strictly adhere to the youth protection guidelines set forth from our Archdiocese.  Parents, please do not allow your children to roam freely throughout the church and be sure to always accompany them to the restroom or anywhere on the campus (i.e., to the nursery, Sunday School, fellowship hall, etc.). While in Church, they must be under your direct supervision at all times.  We appreciate everyone’s assistance in ensuring the safety of our children!
• 16th Pan-Pontian Youth Festival - Our Pontian Society of the Southeast "Argonaftes" will be participating in the 16th Pan-Pontian Youth Festival for the second year in a row with a dance team in Philadelphia, PA, in June 2025. We welcome any youth to young adult individuals of Pontic descent or otherwise interested in dancing on our team.  If interested, please contact Effie Thompson at (803) 287-1086.
