Notes for OXI Day Celebration - Sunday Oct 26


Our OXI Day Celebration on Sunday, October 26th is fast approaching! Please read the information below carefully, as there will be a change to our schedule and the church may be busier than usual due to the St. Demetrios’ Feast Day.

Arrival

  • Students arrive at 11:00 a.m.
  • Please drop off your child’s belongings (coat, lunch bag, water bottle ) in the classroom and have them meet their teachers in the hall.
  • Each class will have assigned benches, so make sure your child sits with their class.

Class Photos (11:00–11:30 a.m.)

  • We will take class pictures between 11:00 and 11:30.
  • If your child is receiving Communion during that time, their class photo will be taken later in the day.

Church Service (Doxology)

  • We plan to enter the church at approximately 11:40 a.m. for the Doxology.
  • After the service, students will return to their classrooms for a quick practice and lunch time.

Lunch

  • If you have pre-ordered pies, please make sure the food is brought directly to your child’s classroom.

Start Time

  • We will begin the celebration as soon as the church empties and everyone is seated with their refreshments and food

Student Attire
