NEWLY UPDATED!

Attention parents!

We have begun a new ministry at St. Justin Martyr.  "Parents Night Out" is a ministry offered to parents with children ages 11 and under.  SJM parents are invited to bring their children to church for fellowship and activities, and enjoy a night out while we watch your children.  Parents Night Out is a ministry offered every fourth Friday of the Month from 6:30 - 9:45pm, except during summer. 

Forms must be filled in advance. 

The youth ministry of St. Justin Martyr doesn’t have to be limited to time at church. You too can get involved in ministering to your children from home. Here are a few links of excellent resources that will help you raise your child full of life in and with Christ and His Holy Church.

The "Challenge" Newsletter is a great youth/young adult supplement to the Greek Orthodox Observer. You can check out the archives at:
