Great Blueprint for Parish Health

Revisado: 06-01-23

I love this book, read by Fr. Evan Armatas who is my Parish Priest.

I’ve experienced what he’s teaching here as our Parish learned little things such as tithing our time and talent (participation in the life of the community).
Parishioners became empowered to form groups. We wrote our own mission statement’s and the success/failures were reviewed after a year.

My personal experience was starting the Northern Colorado Chapter of the Fellowship of Saint Moses the Black.

Because the Parishioners are making sure the Parish is clean, guests are welcomed and expectations are clear, our clergy ( busy, busy, busy) can attend to Spiritual matters as they should.

The enthusiasm when you walk into St. Spyridon is a wonder!
Many new people walk into the church each week both churches and never been to a church before.
I’m truly amazed!
Because of the way we are involved in the life of the Parish… visitors are made welcome enthusiastically!

When we have an Introduction to Orthodoxy series, we have an Introduction to Christianity class.

At 75, and just as vital a part of what’s going on as our young adults (we have a young Church! We mix everyone together.

I hope this is encouragement to listen and try these changes in your community.
