Our brothers and sisters in Ukraine hope and pray that we here in America do not forget them in their trials and tribulations of war. They hope and expect us to 1) pray for them and 2) support them.
And this is exactly what we do here at SS Peter & Paul, the center of all things Ukrainian in Montgomery county. So don't stay home Saturdays and Sundays. Come to Church and pray with us. Both God and our kin in blood and spirit need us NOW, need our prayers and need our support! |

We appreciate all of our volunteers for our last event in our Hall.
We are so blessed with our wonderful volunteers who took the time and effort to lend a helping hand and welcome our guests to our beautiful hall and church grounds. We are able to serve the public by hosting the bi-weekly meeting of the local AA group, as well as both primary and general elections. In addition, our hall is the official emergency site for the Bridgeport School. We will keep you posted on any future events. |
We truly appreciate all who volunteer, because without their selfless and generous acts, we would not have a successful catering ministry!

Please keep this in mind when you are planning your own To Do Lists. One person can make a difference! And just remember that We can't do without all of YOU! |
