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.  
• Today, November 2^nd, has been designated as Philoptochos Sunday by His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros.  The mission of Philoptochos is to aid those in need while promoting the charitable purposes of our faith.  Our St. Katherine’s Philoptochos contributes to many areas of philanthropy on a local, national, and global scale.  Philoptochos Sunday is a cherished opportunity to honor our mission and support the Ecumenical Patriarchate Fund.  You can do that today as there will be an offering collection in the narthex following Divine Liturgy.  Philoptochos needs you!  If you are not a member and would like to join, email skphilop@gmail.com.  Your desire to serve and help others will find a place of welcome in our philanthropic organization!
• The Fall General Assembly Meeting will be held after Divine Liturgy today. Please plan to attend.
• Frappes for sale today! The Young Adult Dance Group will be selling frappes during coffee hour in the gym.  Please stop by and enjoy one!  All proceeds will go towards the group's participation at HDF in January.
• Youth Events for Hope, Joy, and Goya:
  • The Hope & Joy Group (3 y.o. - 6th grade) will meet on Saturday, November 8th, from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM in the 4th-5th grade Sunday School classroom for a service project. We will be making cards for our parish’s visitors, sick, and shut-ins.  Refreshments will be served.  Come help show care for others!
  • The Goyans (7th - 12th grade) will aid our St. Katherine’s Philoptochos on Sunday, November 9th. Our service project will be to assist with the clean-up of the potluck luncheon for EMS Closet.  Come lend a helping hand to our Philoptochos ladies!
• SAVE THE DATE! In celebration of St. Katherine's Feast Day, the Philoptochos is hosting a free luncheon after Divine Liturgy on November 9th.  Philoptochos will provide the meat entree, but we are asking parishioners to bring a dish according to the first letter of their last name:  A-M Salad; N-R Vegetable; and S-Z Dessert.  Donations will be accepted to support the local charity - EMS Closet.  EMS Closet provides essential clothing for students in need in school districts Richland One and Two.  Please join us!
• The Daughters of Penelope are collecting donations for our Annual Veteran Holiday Food Basket collection. We will be accepting donations of standard-sized, nonperishable food items.  There will be boxes in the Hellenic Center beginning November 2nd, with a list of the food items we need, until November 30th.  If you prefer we shop for you, you can give a cash donation or a check made payable to the Daughters of Penelope.  Thank you!
• Weekly Announcements - Please submit announcements and events for the Liturgical Guide to the Church Office by noon on Tuesdays.
