FROM CHILDREN IN STEELTON TO THE CHILDREN OF KOSOVO

Steelton, PA - Congratulations to the Church School students for exceeding their goal! The Church School raised funds during the Lenten Season to assist other children needing assistance in Kosovo. The total amount raised was $1633.59!!! WOW!!!

The students raised this money through money jars placed in the Church School classrooms and a luncheon at the church. Mr. Luke Jacob’s class collected the largest amount of money in their jar. Congratulations for a job well done!

The original goal of the students was $500. This goal was immediately met and raised to $1000 when the students prepared and served a luncheon to the parishioners. The students made over $700 at this event.The students did an excellent job from preschool to high school. Our high school students prepared the meal, whilethe preschoolers greeted everyone at the door to take their free-will offering. They were the perfect door greeters!Our grade school students assisted with preparation, setting the tables, preparing the dinner and serving the meal toour parishioners. They are certainly ready for the catering business! In addition, our St. Sava Youth Choir sang The Lord’s Prayer with Father Srboljub’s blessing of the meal. Their angelic voices added so much to the atmosphere of the event. If you have not yet heardthem sing during the year, you have missed a great group that will soon be the future of our church!Thank you to all of our students, families and parishioners for supporting this worthy cause to help these desperately needy children of Kosovo.
