ANNUAL FESTIVAL '09

September 18, 19 and 20, 2009

 

A Macedo-Romanian Affair

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

It is hard to believe that we will soon start planning our 29th FESTIVAL! The success of all of them is directly attributable to the diligence and hard work of the many members and friends who volunteer their time.

Again, we need your help. Although the FESTIVAL demands a lot of hard work, it is also very rewarding because it is fun and provides an opportunity for community and fellowship with the involvement of everyone.

Please plan to help. The Festival is very important to the progress of our church.

Reserve these dates on your calendar for the biggest social event of the year:

September 18, 19 and 20, 2009
