Following Great Vespers on Saturday, November 1, the St. Anna Missions Committee will hold its first meeting in our fellowship hall. We will spend time getting to know each other, briefly sharing our journeys in and with Christ, discussing Matthew 28:19-20, and then introducing our ministry goals. Our regular meetings will be held on the first Saturday of each month after Vespers. We will serve as channels for information with OCMC and between our parish and those we support abroad—Kenya, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and other regions worldwide. We will also collaborate with the Metropolis of San Francisco’s mission and evangelism committee to continue growing Orthodoxy here in the West.
Additionally, the Dinner and Movie night we hosted earlier this month was very well attended and provided a wonderful opportunity to learn about the early missionary efforts that brought Orthodoxy to the West Coast. Thank you to everyone who contributed food items and attended the evening. On November 8th, we plan to show the movie, "Man of God," about the life of Saint Nectarios, after the Great Vespers, in celebration of his feast day on Sunday, November 9th. More information is forthcoming.
Please RSVP to Pamela Barksdale at a.barksdale@ocmc.org for either evening. May the Lord continue to bless our efforts both here and abroad.
