The youth enjoyed great fellowship with one another, their advisors (Eleni Kalioras and Christina Boutas), families along with Father Dionysios and Presbytera Maria!

The youth participated in all day activities reinforcing ministry, witness, worship and fellowship.  HOPE and JOY learned about the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

During the fellowship meeting, the youth learned about the Ladder of the Divine Ascent by St. John Climacus.

HOPE & JOY youth learned about the saints at their monthly fellowship meeting. 

HOPE and JOY youth participated in the annual Christmas Pageant performed on Christmas Eve.  It was a moving performance depicting the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

HOPE & JOY's annual Gingerbread House making is always a favorite!

HOPE and JOY youth gathered together for an evening of Fall Fun!  After eating dinner, the youth had a discussion on Safety for the upcoming Trick or Treating.  They then discussed what it meant to love your neighbor, and how the two, safety and loving your neighbor, intertwine together as Orthodox Christians.  Afterwards games were played which culminated with a pinata.  Fun was had by all!  Thanks to our HOPE/JOY Advisor Eleni Kalioras for her dedication and putting on another great event!
