PLEASE NOTE – Fr. Demetri will be attending the National Clergy Laity Congress in New York City this week. He can be reached for emergencies.

Now that the weather has warmed and school is out, there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor family fun. In this season of Soak Up the Son we are inviting families to get together and “Walk with God!” As we take outdoor walks with our families this summer, we will learn more about how God walked with His people and they with Him in the Old Testament.

It’s up to your family to decide where you will take your weekly walk, whether it’s your neighborhood, a local park, the beach, or the woods. No matter where you live, how busy your schedule, or even how you are abled, taking walks together is a life-giving activity all can enjoy.

A downloadable “Walking with God” journal guide will be included with each episode of our video series to help you reflect on God’s walks with biblical figures, and how He is present on your family walks. Journals will also provide related activity suggestions and conversation prompts to reinforce each week’s chosen scripture passage. We hope you enjoy the adventure of walking together, as you “Walk with God.”

What Is Soak Up the Son?

Soak Up the Son is a summer program designed for individuals, couples, and families alike. This 8 week seasonal series is offered as a reminder “to commit ourselves and one another and our whole lives to Christ our God.”

As you use and enjoy the activities offered in the Soak Up the Son program, we encourage you to share your experiences—with your family at home, your church family, and your friends. Share them with us also at the Center for Family Care by using the hashtag #soakuptheSON. We look forward to connecting with you and learning about your “Son-filled” adventures!

This summer take time to relax and have fun...but most importantly Soak Up the Son!

LAWN TALK – This ministry gives many the opportunity to come and enjoy fellowship, conversation and to simply catch up. This gathering will take place outside on the Church grounds and the day and time may vary from week to week (due to weather or other scenarios). Parish Family members will be notified by email on dates.

A Taste of Greece - “Greek Festival Season” is upon us, and it is time for St. Nicholas to discuss our future festival strategy. To summarize, our last full festival was in 2018 and, unfortunately, it is too late to do one for 2022. With five years (or more) between festivals, we are eager and committed to passing information to the next generation. If the future of our festivals is something you have interest in, we invite you to attend a “Friends of the Festival” meeting to discuss several options, from an annual event to no longer hosting festivals. At this time, we do not have a date and time for a meeting; we are simply inquiring who is interested in participating in this conversation. If you are interested, please contact the Church Office or Melanie Tanionos or 617-803-8498.

Time for a tune up. 

Not your car, your voice! 

The choir is working with a professional music teacher.

CHURCH ORGAN UPDATE: Several attempts to repair the church organ have been unsuccessful so the PC is in the process of finding its next owner. We will be removing it from inside the church to make use of the needed space.  Thank you.

It’s not too early to start planning for this year’s Summer Camp at MBC at the Retreat Center in Contoocook, NH. In fact, “earlier is better” for those ever popular later weeks in our summer program. MBC is offering five one week sessions for campers ages 8 - 18, and one session for families. The MBC Summer dates are:

Session 2: July 4 - 10

Session 3: July 11 - 17

Session 4: July 18 - 24

Session 5: July 25 - 31

**** Scholarships for all sessions are available via the camp office****

Summer Camp is a week of fun, fellowship and faith. Campers will have the opportunity to meet other youth from throughout the Metropolis, while participating in camp activities including: campfires, theater, music, hiking, swimming, Olympics, athletics, canoeing, Orthodox Life discussion sessions, and much more. Camp is a wonderful opportunity to make new friends and re- new old friendships, and is also a time for young Orthodox Christians to learn about their faith, values and heritage in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

We look forward to seeing you there!
