NTOM conference set for February 26-27

This event is for everyone – not married, married, celibate, widowed, divorced!

Save the date for the Orthodox Christian Perspectives retreat to be held Friday and Saturday, February 26-27, 2016.  The topic will be "Marriage and Family: An Invitation to Love." Our guest speaker will be Dr. Philip Mamalakis, who serves as Associate Professor of Pastoral Care at Hellenic College/Holy Cross in Brookline, MA.

Some key ideas that Dr. Philip touches upon: "Marriage is a journey of discovery." Marriage entails "humility which is the opposite of self-seeking." It requires "good listening" skills. Christ is the head of the couple on their journey in life. He likes the icon of the Resurrection as a symbol of marriage. Christ holds both Adam and Eve by the wrist to bring them to salvation.

All are welcome to attend and bring family and friends.

When & where:

• Friday, February 26, at St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church in Euless, 6:00 PM.
• Saturday, February 27, at Ss. Constantine and Helen Aniochian Orthodox Church in Carrollton, beginning with coffee at 8:00 AM and registration at 8:30 AM.
