Our beloved parish of Saint Christopher Church celebrated its first Divine Liturgy on the Feast Day of Saint Demetrius the Great Martyr on Sunday, October 26, 2003. In Thanksgiving, Fr. George, assisted by our choir, altat servers, greeter, and faithful offered the Divine Liturgy of this great feast day. Afterwards, Fr. George offered a Trisagion Service in loving memory of our founding fathers and mothers who have fallen asleep in the Lord, along with our family members who visited during their lifetime, and our family members who helped raise us. May God grant them eternal memory. May God bless our beloved parishioners with many more years of good health, joy, and strength to complete its mission to build a permanent Greek Orthodox Church in the southern metropolitan area of Atlanta. Thanks and glory be to God for all His blessings.
