KIDS 'n' CANCER - Sunday, February 10
 Please join the Philoptochos on February 10 after Liturgy in The Oaks for our annual Kids’n’Cancer Coffee Hour Reception. We will have a delicious coffee hour buffet and lots of surprises, including a raffle, balloons and fun centerpieces for purchase. Please consider making a donation to this Philoptochos ministry. Our goal is to meet or exceed last year’s collection of $7,000! For children who are battling life-threatening cancers, this ministry provides a few days of total fun and makes a permanent connection with these children which continues on after their participation in one of our five camps. They become part of our Philoptochos family. We pray for their health and sometimes, sadly, mourn their loss with their family. Please be generous and give your heart to a child!

ORATORICAL FESTIVAL - Sunday, March 10
Calling all young people in grades 4-12! The Holy Cross Parish Oratorical Festival will be held following Divine Liturgy on March 10.

This experience will give participants valuable public speaking experience and it will strengthen and deepen their faith. This year, Athena Koutsonikolas has offered to serve as a mentor/coach to any participant who would like to work with her. Athena is a marketing, communications and public relations professional and has extensive experience in content curation. Athena can be contacted at athena.koutsonikolas@gmail.com / Detailed festival information can be found in the most recent edition of Cross Currents at http://www.goholycross.org/Files/CrossCurrents/cc%2018fall.pdf and at 2019 St. John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival Topics - St. John Chrysostom Oratorical Festival - Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
