YES Director Katrina Bitar is Speaker for Midwest Fall Gathering

Fr. Ignatius Warren, Pastor of St. Elias Orthodox Church of Sylvania, Ohio, writes:

The Fellowship of St. John the Divine's Midwest Diocese Fall Gathering is scheduled for October 5-7 at St. Elias Orthodox Church in Sylvania, Ohio. Our parish is honored to host the clergy and laity of our diocese, including our own Bishop Anthony, and is pleased to present Katrina Bitar, the director of YES North America, as our featured speaker.

Please help us make this event a success by including this downloadable flier and information in your weekly bulletins, monthly newsletters, parish e-mails, parish social media sites (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, etc.), and Sunday announcements. Most importantly, please pass this information along to the leaders of your parish Fellowship of St. John, Antiochian Women, SOYO, and Christian Educators.

Hotel and registration information is also on our website.

It is our hope this weekend will be an opportunity for the Diocese to come together in Christian unity for prayer, fellowship, meetings, and workshops that inspire and edify. With your help and cooperation, I have no doubt the 2012 Fall Gathering will be a success.

Please note the deadlines for Hotel Reservations (September 21st) and Early Registration (September 29th).

If I can provide any additional information or be or any assistance, please do not hesitate to let me know. I look forward to seeing all of you in October!
