FAMILY CENTER NEWS
Pursuant to a unanimous vote by the Parish Council, the Building Committee was authorized to award and hire Aberthaw Construction as the General Contractor for Phase I--Stage 1 of the Family Center project. Aberthaw was selected from a group of 7 contractors who bid for Stage 1. The bid came in under $700,000 representing a reduction of over 40% from the original estimate for Stage 1. Construction will commence a week after the Grecian Festival and completion estimated at 11 weeks, over 50% shorter than originally planned.

BOOKSTORE NEWS
THE FAITH is the title of a book by Clark Carlton worth reading and will be featured at the bookstore in the month of April. This text is about understanding Orthodox Christianity. Easter has brought us much inspiration and renewal. This book is an excellent tool to build upon our love for the church by educating ourselves to better understand why we attend each Sunday. We can also educate others by sharing what we have learned or giving them a copy of this book, which is written in simple language for anyone to pick up and read. We are so fortunate, after all, as Carlton states, "The Orthodox Church of today does not imitate [the] original Christian community; She is that community."

GRECIAN FESTIVAL NEWS
The AGORA is now accepting donations of Petzetakia and other linens, Icons, Hellenic Books, all in saleable condition. Please drop off in the church office with your name. Thank you!

HOLY TRINITY CORNER
Did you know? If you are a Fallon Community Health Plan member, you are able to go to Holy Trinity for your rehabilitation if you let the case manager know as soon as possible that you are a member of the Orthodox Community. They will make the referral to Holy Trinity, and we will do the rest!

STEWARDHSIP NEWS
Like every other good and perfect gift, Time is something God gives along with Talent and Treasure. Since Time is ultimately a part of God's good creation, we can live in faith that Time can be redeemed. You can start by offering your service at the Grecian Festival. Come to the meetings. Volunteer.

HOSPITAL AND HOME VISITS
Due to strict HIPPA laws, medical professionals can not inform our priests if anyone has been admitted into the hospital. Therefore, for both Father Dean and Father Greg to be able to visit and offer blessings to those sick or infirmed, please have a family member call the church and let them know.
