January 10, 2020 Dear Parishioners, A few weeks ago, an invitation was mailed out for the upcoming Dinner/Dance Gala fundraiser for our beloved Diakonia Retreat Center on Saturday, February 1, 2020. (You can click on the invitation for more information). This event is sponsored by all 8 Greek Orthodox Churches in the Greater Atlanta area and is the first of its kind. Yes, we all have a common goal of reducing the debt on the Diakonia Retreat Center and "Together We Can Succeed"! The Diakonia Retreat Center ministers to the faithful of all ages and has an amazing six week Summer Camp Program that transforms the lives of our teenagers. Our parish has long supported its ministries, volunteering our services and donating faithfully a portion of our GreekFest Proceeds for its operations.  Please do your best to be in attendance and support this event. This effort seeks to help pay off the remaining mortgage of our property, which is around $900,000. Your support will help us greatly! You may click here to purchase tickets, become a sponsor, make a donation, etc. On Sunday, January 12 and Sunday, January 19, Kirk and Dedee Panayis will be available during coffee fellowship to take your orders and payments. Thank you and we hope to see you all there!   Faithfully yours, +Fr. George Tsahakis
