HOPE
Hellenic Orthodox Primary Education (“HOPE”) is for children ages 4-6 years old. The mission of HOPE is to help young children experience and appreciate our Orthodox faith through fellowship. HOPE engages children in fun monthly events which help the children build relationships with each other, and with the church. HOPE also encourages children to think of others in their community and connects with other ministries in helping with local drives. In a fun and nurturing environment, HOPE fosters the first step of children connecting their spirituality to their everyday lives.

CUB SCOUTS
Welcome to the Archangel Michael Church Cub Scout Pack 7!
“A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent!”
Cub Scouts is a great way for our children to establish lifelong skills, values and friendships. The Scouts learn about our faith (including the Eastern Orthodox Committee on Scouting religious awards program), citizenship, nature, leadership, and community service while achieving their advancement awards and badges.
In addition to activity-packed meetings, some of our events include the Pinewood Derby, camping retreats, science museum trips, visiting local police stations and firehouses, community service projects, enjoying local professional sports events, outdoor events and hikes, and so much more! Above all, it is about the Scouts having fun and doing their best!
If you are interested in registering your Scout or want to learn more, please contact Scout Leader Bill Papain at scouts@archangelmichaelchurch.org. Co-Leaders: Gianna Aprilakis, Tony Zachariadis, and George Christodoulou.
