The Department of Youth and Young Adult Ministries is
pleased to announce the publication of the 2012-2013
Ecclesiastical Planner. Use this great resource to keep a daily focus on
Christ with morning and evening prayers, quotes from Scripture, and inspiration
from the Fathers. It also includes lectionary readings and fasting guidelines,
following the Ecclesiastical year from September 2012 to August 2013. This
year’s theme, “Appointed by God,” is based on Christ’s words to His disciples, “You
did not choose me, but I choose you and appointed you that you should go and
bear fruit” (John 15:16).
In the words of His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of
America, “This resource is designed to assist you in your life of worship and
ministry throughout the holy seasons and observances of the year.” The Planner makes an excellent gift for
young people and a helpful guide for youth workers throughout the year.
The Planner is now
available for purchase from the Department of Religious Education at
800.566.1088 or the Orthodox Marketplace at www.orthodoxmarketplace.com. Once
again, the digital version of The Planner
(iCal, Google Calendar, Outlook, etc.) will be available to download for free
at www.youth.goarch.org in August.
