Discussed “The Lost Sheep”
project
“I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance” (Luke 15:7).
We will visit everyone next Saturday, Sunday since we will not have church because of the Feast of Epiphany, and on Monday since everyone is off from school. We will contact all youth through out this week to plan what time we will visit them. We will all meet at church before visitations on Saturday and split into groups of twos or threes. During this week we will familiarize our selves with verses from the bible highlighting the importance of church in our lives to share it with those whom we will visit. We will also prepare a schedule that will include all church activities and services to have available for the youth we will visit. Last but not least, we will keep this project in our prayer so that the Lord may extend his hands and bless us all.

Discussed the Library project
“Happy is the man who that finds wisdom, and the
man that gets understanding” Prov
We have many
books about the Coptic Orthodox Church traditions, Holy Sacraments, and Bible
studies. We will make a list of those
books and find a place in church to display them. Once we find a place for the books, we want
to have them available for the youth and Sunday School Servants to borrow. The books will be divided into sections by
subject to make it easy to find any book.
We will work on finding a bookshelf first where the books will be kept,
then one person from our group will take care of tracking who takes which
book. These books will remain available
for the youth and Sunday School Servants to borrow until we extend it to a
bigger library for everyone’s use with the help of God.
In Christ
