NEXT SUNDAY, MAY 4 - BOOK PREMIERE and SIGNING
We are excited to announce Narthex Kids’ first children’s book, created by Zoe and Lexi Doukakis.

Come and join Lexi and Zoe Doukakis for the launch of their new children's book, Why Did God Make Beasts & Bugs? Narthex Press is hosting the book signing event. Pick up your own copy with a personalized message and signatures from the author and illustrator! It will take place right after the Divine Liturgy, in The Oaks. We hope to see you all there!
