Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I write with great joy and thanksgiving to our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ for the gift of our beautiful children and their involvement in our Church School!

With Fr. Kostur’s pastoral leadership and blessing, we are continuing to do our best to provide education and enlightenment to our youth.

Our dedicated teachers, Susie Pavlic, Bonnie Manojlovic, Bonnie Trisic, Zorica Stojic, Neveka Schumacher and Aleksandar Stojic, have been tireless in their efforts to bring interesting topics to the classroom. And we now have the enthusiastic stewardship the children are involved with: Coat drive, Toys for Tots and Jar Wars for Life Line, to name a few.

This coincides with our beloved St. Elijah Folklore Ensemble “Frula”, led by Sophie Krnich and her board, to round out our spiritual and cultural program. We have much more to do, but we trust in the will of God, that we shall continue to improve and gain support for this vital ministry in our St. Elijah parish.

As the holidays approach we will need to begin planning for Christmas and St. Sava celebrations with Ojdana Milos to teach anyone who is interested in the Serbian language and declamacia’s for St. Sava Day Program on January 27nd.

I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all the families who volunteered and donated their time and talent for our Church School. Thank you!!

As we celebrate the joy of the Holidays and the anticipation of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of our families find love, peace and togetherness in His Holy Name.

Yours in Christ,
Cindy Stojic, 2007
