We contracted with The Center for Family Care of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese under the direction of Father Constantine Sitaras to lead us in a day of family fellowship and reconnection with Christ’s Teachings and The Church.

We are running a special sale on” The New Orthodox Study Bible” for $35.00 (retail price $50). The Orthodox Study Bible contains the entire Old Testament of the Orthodox Church, including The New Testament and the "Deuterocanonical" books. Although based on the New King James Version, it offers a fresh translation from the Greek text.
