On December 17, 2022, our church held its sixth Breakfast with Santa. Over 30 families with their kids came to enjoy the day. The children of the St. Stepanos community were very excited. They had a chance to eat, talk, hug Santa, receive from him gifts, and take pictures with him who came especially for them from Lapland.

Different kinds of activities had been prepared for the children, keeping those little hands busy cutting, gluing, coloring, and writing letters for Santa.
Thanks to all Armenian School teachers for organizing this event, all families of St. Stepanos church for attending this event, and a big thank you to Santa Claus for making that day memorable!

On December 18, 2022, the Armenian and Sunday Schools held their annual Christmas program in the church hall following Divine Liturgy.

Teachers and all kids received Christmas gifts after the program which started with prayer.
The program was set as a lesson about the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ and thanksgiving to the church, teachers, parents, and Almighty God who gave His Son to us and made our life great and happy. A big thank you to all Armenian/Sunday School parents for the fellowship and for supporting the children in the play. Everybody enjoyed it…
Thanks to Marie and John Haytaian and to all our Armenian and Sunday School teachers and children.
