ACYA Grassroots Event
January 24, 2012
On Friday evening, 20 January, the ACYA committee held an event on the church lawn GRASSROOTS. The event was a big success with over 30 young adults attending and having a great time. The committee put in a lot of effort and time to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere from fairy light decorations to Armenian music, food, drinks and sweets to welcome those who came.
The purpose of the event was to re-establish the ACYA group and encourage as many young Armenians as possible to attend the events organised by the committee on a regular basis. This will help young Armenians understand their faith in greater depth and ultimately appreciate their engagement in church life. By organising GRASSROOTS, the committee has effectively increased participation and hopes it will continue to grow.

School Holiday Fun Camp
January 23, 2012
More than 40 primary school aged children participated in a 3-day school holiday program held in the Edgarian hall from 16-19 January. A variety of activities including dance and movement, crafts, games, scripture sessions and face-painting kept everyone happy and entertained. A hands-on tour with Fr Avetis gave the children a better understanding of the church and the vestments and vessels.
On the third day, parents gathered for a final dance performance choreographed during the sessions. Children also played out animal movements to music with their painted animal faces. For photos of the event see the Photo Gallery
