Attached is an email invitation to the parish of St. George.  The invitiation is to parishes around New England and the Tri-State area to attend a Faith and Family Night on Saturday, Feb 15th.  Please read the details below:   

 

Dear St George Trumbull,

We are thrilled to invite you and your parish community to be part of a historic Orthodox Christian gathering at "Faith and Family Night" on Saturday, February 15, 2025! This unique event will unite Orthodox Christians from across New England and the Tri-State area, allowing us to witness and celebrate the unity of our faith in a public setting.

Event Highlights:

· Pre-Game Seminar: His Grace Bishop JOHN Abdalah (AOCANA) and guest speaker Rev. Peter Orfanakos (GOArch) will lead a seminar on the theme “All You Need Is Love”.
· Game & Fellowship: The evening features a thrilling hockey matchup between the Bridgeport Islanders and the Providence Bruins at Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, CT.
· Tickets:  Each ticket is $27 (plus fees).  The Processing fee will be $4.43 for a total cost of $31.43 per ticket (the processing fee is charged by the ticket processor, this is similar to a Ticketmaster fee). While the processing fee is unavoidable, please note that the net proceeds from each ticket support IOCC’s hurricane relief efforts.

With each ticket purchased (by using the following link to purchase tickets: https://fevo- enterprise.com/event/ Faithfamily808 , or by using the QR code in the Faith and Family NIght Flyer - see flyer link below), attendees will receive:
           o Center ice seating
           o An Islanders hat
           o Early stadium access
           o A post-game photo on the ice
           o Entry into a prize drawing (for tickets purchased by January 31st)
           o Net proceeds support IOCC’s hurricane relief efforts

Additionally, church communities with 50 or more attendees will receive a special gift basket from the Islanders—a great raffle item for a parish event!

Involvement Opportunities:

We invite members (as space permits) to participate in the evening in two special ways:

           o Pan-Orthodox Choir: We welcome parishioners interested in joining a Pan-Orthodox choir to sing God Bless America
           o Children’s Intermission Activities: Children are invited to join intermission activities

If members are interested, please feel free to have them contact me directly via the email provided.
