The Christmas program will take place on Sunday, December 16th after Divine Liturgy.
December 9th is a mandatory dress rehearsal for all students, until 12:45 pm.
Verse to be recited in the Christmas program (Dec 16) by memory:
1st-2nd Grades
“And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying: glory to God in the highest. And on earth, peace good will toward men!”
3rd-4th Grades
“And there were shepherds residing in the fields, Keeping watch over their flocks by night. Just then an angel of the lord stood before them And the glory of the lord shone around them. And they were afraid.”
5th-8th grades:
“For unto us a child is born. Unto us a son is given. And the government will be upon his shoulders. And he will be called wonderful, counselor. Mighty God. Everlasting father. Prince of peace.
Now to the king eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God. Be honor and glory for ever and ever amen. “
