AKRON PARISH BEGINS NEW RELIGION AND LANGUAGE CLASSES PROGRAM FOR PARISH CHILDREN
Akron, OH - The newly-organized church school and Serbian school program of St. Archangel Michael Serbian Orthodox Church formally commenced on Sunday, December 9, 2007. Following Divine Liturgy, parish priest and Program Director, Fr. Dragomir Tuba, officiated at the prayer service for the Beginning of Instruction. He blessed the children with Holy Water and warmly welcomed everyone. Forty-three children have registered for the religion and language classes which will be taught by Fr.
Dragomir, Mrs. Mira Lazich and Miss Sladjana Jovicic.
Parish stewards have also come together to remove the severely-damaged 30-year old wooden floor from the church social hall. The undertaking of this project would not have been possible without the efforts of the parish "Truck Drivers and Mechanics Group," comprised of men who settled in the greater Akron area following the war in Bosnia and Serbia. In the month of October they sponsored a social function which had the one specific goal of raising suffiecient funds for the replacement of the unrepairable floor. Their collection and charity event raised $10,000.00. God bless them and their families for their sacrifices! May God grant many years of fruitful parish undertakings thanks to their hard work!
