We want to thank Fr. David, Presbytera and everyone who helped with our Pascha celebration. Thanks to those that contributed their time, money, and efforts for Palm Sunday’s fish and beverages, for those that prepared the palm leaves, and those who hosted and prepared the Pascha Breakfast and the Agape Lamb Luncheon, and to all that contributed to the lamb, eggs, and flowers, those that read, those that decorated the Epitaphia, those offering monetary gifts and as always, those that helped clean up. Pascha was a blessing for us all.

May 12^th is Mother’s Day. Happy Mothers’ Day to all our mothers. May God grant them many years.

Memory eternal to those that have fallen asleep in the Lord.

^{"We would like to announce a dinner in
celebration of St. John's 80th anniversary, in September of this
year. To help defray costs, we will be selling "ad" space in the
event program. Some ads will simply congratulate the church, others
can be memorials or advertisements. To help you visualize, we have
sample "ads" from another church's 80th anniversary attached. We
will use your design. Be creative. Because we are a diverse
congregation, it might be nice to have each ethnic group wish our
church "many years" in their native language (with English
translations, of course).

To place an "ad" please provide the Program Committee (Sarah
Merchant/Sandra King) with your fully designed ad, designate the
size of the ad and include your check. We will accept ads through
June, 2013. All ads must be submitted prior to July. If using the
U.S. mail, address your submission to St. John's Orthodox Church,
80th Anniversary/Program Committee, 1101 Bell St., Amarillo 79106 Ad

The Parish is sponsoring a "Bible Study" each Tuesday evening (open to the public) from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in addition to our regular Sunday Bible Study Class. The study group is concentrating on the Books of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John to begin their in-depth analysis of these wonderful messages to us all. Please come and join the group!

We would like to thank Sandra King for baking Prosfora during the month of May
