Each year, on the first Sunday in October (on or after the Feast of St. Romanos the Melodist, the patron saint of church musicians), parishes across the Archdiocese of America celebrate NATIONAL CHURCH MUSIC SUNDAY. This commemoration was inaugurated by His Eminence, Archbishop Iakovos of North and South America in 1982, and has been re-affirmed by His Eminence, Archbishop Elpidophoros of America.

NATIONAL CHURCH MUSIC SUNDAY is a day we set aside particularly to honor the contributions of local choir members, psaltai, and music educators who serve their churches through the hymnology of our Orthodox Church. In addition, it is a day when we recognize the work of the diocesan choir federations as well as the National Forum of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians, who through their music ministry, strive to enhance the development of church choirs, church musicians, and liturgical music at diocesan and archdiocesan levels.

The National Forum has resources and materials available to assist local parishes and choirs in developing appropriate programs for NATIONAL CHURCH MUSIC SUNDAY. Further information is available by contacting the National Chairman and/or the President of your Metropolis Choir Federation.

JOY (Junior Orthodox Youth) 

Thought for the month is encouragement. Biblical encouragement is not focused on what a person is capable of within themselves, but rather in what the Spirit is doing in them.  It doesn’t take anything to show encouragement.   An act of encouragement can make an impact on someone’s life. 

Choir Members Needed: New voices are needed for the Holy Trinity Choir.  Please see Eileen Crowell upstairs in the choir loft.
