During the hot month of July 2007, Philoptochos hosted a fun-filled day for the "Tree-House children" of Children's Home Society. Held right here on our parish grounds, it was a beautiful, hands-on event that touched all of our hearts. These children were full of love, smiles, hugs and happiness during the small time we had with them. Some GOYAns came out as well, and we all enjoyed water games, arts and crafts, Bible stories, ice cream sundaes and a yummy lunch. The children were so happy to take back goody bags as well as their beautiful decorated T-Shirts! What a surprise when they came back to worship with us the very next Sunday morning—a lovely ending to such a touching event.
