St Timon Sunday
Since 2008, our diocese has supported the Archdiocese of Bosra-Hauran in Syria through "The Hauran Connection."
The Archdiocese of Bosra-Hauran is ancient, founded in the first century through the preaching of the Holy Apostle Timon (Feastday: July 28). For many years now, it has endured extreme hardship in the face of persistent poverty and civil war.
Each year at this time, we take a special collection to support the Hauran Archdiocese's humanitarian work. They provide food, shelter and other services not only among the Orthodox of the area, but also among their Muslim and Druze neighbors.
Please bring your donations this Sunday and next Sunday and place them in the labeled box in the Narthex. Checks should be made out to "Holy Ascension," with the memo "Hauran."
Thanks for your generous support!
