Other Notes
(1) BIBLE STUDY BEGINS JANUARY 10: We begin a weekly Bible study in January on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 pm. We will go through the readings of Great and Holy Week that we read each year during the services to help us better prepare for the Lenten/Holy Week/Pascha season.

(2) HOUSE BLESSINGS: If you would like your home to be blessed this year, please e-mail me with your address, phone number, and your general availability.

(3) DYNAMIC MARRIAGE COURSE: Fr. Aaron and Kh. Gwen Warwick will once again facilitate a Dynamic Marriage course at St. Mary from February 18 – April 14. The interactive enrichment class meets in-person each Sunday at 6:00 pm at St. Mary. During the week between classes, couples will complete helpful assignments individually and as a couple. Couples must attend at least six of the Sunday classes to receive a completion certificate. A brief Preview Session to highlight the program will be hosted during Coffee Hour at St. Mary on Sunday, January 14. You may also contact Fr. Aaron (204-6725) or Gwen (214-5714) with questions about the class or to register. Registration deadline is Sunday, January 28. Cost is $150. Payment plans/scholarships may be available upon request.

(4) ORTHODOXY ON TAP: The next Orthodoxy on Tap event, which is primarily geared towards young adults, is scheduled for Sunday, January 14, from 5-8 pm at Old School Tap House & Social in Kechi (210 East Kechi Rd). I am the featured speaker (for about 20-30 minutes; the rest of the time is for fellowship). Come and enjoy some food and drink while we learn the Faith together. Please RSVP to Rachel Garton of St George Cathedral at (316) 204-6189 if you plan to attend.
