Orthodox Youth Outreach
ATTENTION TEENS: On Nov. 14 - 16, 2008, Orthodox Youth Outreach (OYO) invites teens from the Spokane area to participate in a life-changing weekend of fun and outreach to the poor and homeless. We will spend the weekend trying to live out Christ's commandment to love the least of these as we work with the impoverished of Spokane. Our weekend will begin on Friday, Nov. 14 at 2pm, and we will conclude at 2pm on Sunday, Nov. 16. The weekend will consist of serving at soup kitchens and rescue missions, as well as doing fun activities where we will meet some of the homeless of Spokane and learn about the complexity of poverty and homelessness.
Founded by Fr. Kevin Scherer, OYO is a ministry of NAC Teen SOYO of the Antiochian Archdiocese which has been designed to provide local parishes and youth workers with the resources necessary to involve junior and senior high students in local community service and short-term mission projects. The purpose of the program is to encourage our youth to live out their faith through service to others. OYO provides opportunities for youth to get involved with outreach at different levels and help them grow into positions of student leadership. Since our first trip in January 2004, OYO has conducted 30 mission trips to major cities across the U.S. and Canada, as well as several international trips. The program has been very successful.
We hope you will join us for an exciting weekend of serving the poor and learning what it means to follow Christ on Nov. 14 - 16, 2008. The all-inclusive cost to participate is $150. Students can register at www.orthodoxyouthoutreach.net. Please feel free to contact Jordan Henderson with any questions or concerns at (904) 347-9220 or jordan@orthodoxyouthoutreach.net.

Holy Trinity Fundraiser
On October 25th, 6:30 pm, Holy Trinity will hold a fundraising auction event, to raise funds to replace and repair the windows in our hall and church. The total cost is estimated to be $15,000.00. We are currently collecting bids for the work. Your help is vital to our success.
Here’s how you can help:
· Look around your home and community to collect quality items for the auction. Ask your hairdresser, your manicurist, the favorite restaurant you go to, and others to donate a service to be auctioned. ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE
· Attend the auction on the 25th and ask your friends and neighbors to join you. Even if you do not win any of the items up for bid, the night is guaranteed to be fun with Greek music and dancing, food, fun and fellowship for a good cause. But if you do win an item, remember that YOUR PAYMENT IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE
· If you cannot attend, send in a cash donation to support the fundraiser. Send all donations to the church. No amount is too small and remember again that ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
