Leaders Of Christ

Pumpkin Patch 2020! We wanted the kids to get out and about with one another and enjoy time away from our normal routines! We love making memories with them and doing what we normally do each year! So we had to keep the traditions alive!

Keeping traditions alive during COVID-19!

TODAY! We welcome back our leaders, after a 6 month hiatus from quarantine! All meetings will be held at the Social Hall on Front St! Times are from 5pm-8pm! Please ensure that your child has a mask! Hand sanitizer will be provided! We chose the bigger hall to allow more space, and allow our children to sit at a comfortable 6ft distance! All parents are required to sign a document in allowing their children back into the meetings! ... We have missed you! We can’t wait to have you all tonight! (Grades 7th-12th)

Happy Ordination Day Abouna Victor Hanna! We love you so much! So happy to come and support you today and celebrate you coming into priesthood!

Happy Mother’s day to ALL our LOC moms, and all the mothers around the world. In the Bible 1 Peter 3:4 says: You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God." You are our hearts outside of our chest. You are the reason we are here. You may have given us life, but you also gave us a reason to live! Unconditional love is defined in the word mother. You are our guidance in all that we do.... And all that we will be. We can not thank you enough for the love, support, and help you have given us here at LOC with your children. Our gratitude can never be put into words other than: THANK you to all of the mothers! Normally, we’d celebrate you in a video, we decided to do it COVID style this year and celebrate individually in isolation. And kinda making you feel like your kids are bringing home a homemade gift from school like when they were younger! We love you SO much! God bless you, and your children! Here is our WHOLE crew! Message Reads: Happy Mothers Day, We love you so much, Thank you for everything you do, Love LOC Thank you Leaders for coming together and creating this beautiful message!

Happy birthday to our Vice President, Aziz! The kids surprised him today with a planned parade!
