Ministry: St. Photini Women’s Study                                               Leader: Lena Thames

Mission Statement: Our purpose is to gain a deeper understanding of how to love God, our neighbors and ourselves through topical studies of the Holy Scriptures, Holy Tradition and Holy Fathers. We cultivate unity with Him and each other as we learn how to apply this knowledge to our daily lives.

Goals: 1. Identify person or persons to substitute when facilitator is absent.   2. Establish protocol for notifying community of schedule of meetings.   3. Provide recommendations to Bookstore for materials used in study.   4. Explore ways to allow regular attendees a discount for materials used in study through the St. Nicholas Bookstore

The St. Nicholas Women's Study Group meets on a weekly basis to examine how we as Orthodox Christians can cultivate lives that are pleasing to God. We reflect on many topics and issues as we seek to understand how they are addressed by the Holy Scriptures, Holy Tradition, Church Fathers and other pertinent literature.  Our purpose is to encourage personal growth and unity in our faith by learning how to love God and those around us in our everyday lives.

The St. Photini Women’s study is led by Lena Thames and usually meets every Thursday at 10:30 a.m. unless there is a church service anytime during  that day. Any questions please contact Lena Thames at 456-2755.
