It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

 You know what that means?

Yep. You guessed it. It's time for the SOYO Christmas Party!

We will meet at the church Saturday, December 13th at 5:00 for Vespers, then we will split up and go sing Christmas carols for

 some of our St. Elijah parishioners. Once we are done wowing them with our songs, we will meet up at the home of Craig and Nanette Abraham (6413 Beaver Creek Rd.) for dinner and our Silly Santa gift exchange. (the price limit for gifts is $10)

So bring your Silly santa gift and your singing voice to the church at 5:00, December 13th, and be ready for a good time!

And don't forget, "the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!"

Something's Missing

You might be wondering where November's newscast is, or you might not. But if you have been faithfully checking this blog, desperately longing for all the latest and greatest news in the SOYO world, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. Also, I'm sorry because you are going to have to wait just a little bit longer. Can you deal?

You see, there's this little thing called the SECOND ANNUAL DOWAMA SOYO BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT that is happening in less than three days, and well, things have been just a little busy around here with the bake sale ending and gearing up for the arrival of over 100 teens from across our diocese! So, come enjoy some fun, fellowship and serious competition this weekend, and then check back here next weekend for a super spiffy newscast. Sound good? Good!

Much love to you all!

October Newscast

Tune in for this month's newscast:

Share the Love

Heyo!

This Sunday, October 5th, is "Bring a Friend to Sunday School" Day!

This is a perfect opportunity to have a slumber party at your house on Saturday night and bring everyone with you to church on Sunday morning. Take advantage of this, people!

Seriously though, invite your friends to come and hang out in Sunday School and then go to Liturgy. It will be a great opportunity to share your Orthodox faith with friends from other backgrounds. Plus, it will just be fun. Everyone likes to spend extra time with friends!
