St. Mina and St. Abanoub Coptic Orthodox Church

As discussed during the Taste of Egypt presentations the past few Sundays, we are currently selling ads for the “Taste of Egypt” booklet that will be distributed to attendees at the Festival. Please click here to view presentation and advertisement information.  Please consider placing an ad in this booklet to show your support for the festival while still advertising your business or place of employment. The deadline is the first week and July and we will need to collect full payment and your ad copy by then.

Please feel free to contact Marian Langley or Rafik Wahba if you have any questions.

Also in order for this festival to be a great success we are counting on 100% participation. Please sign up to volunteer if you haven’t already done so. 

Each of you has received a gift to use to serve others. Be good servants of God’s various gifts of grace. Anyone who speaks should speak words from God. Anyone who serves should serve with the strength God gives so that in everything God will be praised through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 4: 10-11

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. Colossians 3:23-24

Through the supplications of St. Mina and St. Abanoub and the prayers of the church members, the church has received the approval of the city to build the new church. We  thank our Dear Lord for allowing this project to move forward.

“He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the Church which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all”  (Ephesians 1:22, 23).
 
“Through wisdom is a house built and by understanding it is established” (Proverbs 24:2).
 
Our Dearest Congregation  members,
 
Through the supplications of the Holy Virgin Mary the mother of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the patron saints of our church St Mina and St Abanoub and your prayers, it is with great pleasure to announce that at the Board of Deacons meeting held on Sunday May 24, 2009, Fr.  Angilos and the members of the board signed the contract for our new church submitted by  Bruns,  General Contractors, Inc.  We are pleased to inform you that the building committee was able to negotiate the price of the largest building area  (11,336 sq ft) that was initially offered  at $1,375,000 to bring it down to about 1.2 million.  The final contract was obtained after going through several revisions through a lawyer. It is expected that the work will start next month and is expected to be completed during early January 2010.  By keeping the new church in your daily prayers, we will be able to celebrate the Nativity feast in our new church.
