Jr. ACRY Winter Olympics (well, sort of...)

Ice Skating - 02/14/10

Last Sunday, February 14^th members of our Jr. ACRY chapter spent the afternoon at Capitol Clubhouse in Waldorf enjoying each other’s company while ice skating. The older kids spent some time helping out the younger ones, which was great to see - Thanks for a great time! Our skaters included Andrew and Katia Dewey, Ashley, Kristen, and AJ McNeil and Rachael Harris. Dana Dewey and Shannon McNeil chaperoned. Hope to see more members at our next event!

Camp at Home (like summer camp without the travel!)

Saints Peter & Paul Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church in Potomac, MD, is hosting the antiochian Village program "Camp At Home" February 26-28, 2010, and have graciously extended an invitation to the youth of St. Thomas. Read the announcement below, and follow the link to www.peterpaul.net for permission forms.

Throughout the year, Antiochian Village Staff will visit parishes at their invitation to bring

the camp home. Typically, they bring in staff and alumni of the Village to simulate a day

of camp in the local parish. Host parishes invite neighboring churches to join us as well.

We are pleased to announce that we have confirmed a Village at Home weekend in

Washington, DC to be held February 26-28, 2010 at Ss. Peter & Paul Church in Potomac,

MD.

The Jr. ACRY had a great time at the church bonfire on November 7, 2009. S'mores, hot dogs, and pizza dominated the menu. The youth completed assembling baby bottles for distribution to the parish in support of the Catherine Foundation. Many thanks to Kari for making sure the church was ready to go, and especially to Father Deacon Steve for dropping by to share the story of St. Christopher (the closest thing to a bonfire ghost story he could muster on short notice, but certainly inspirational!!).
