• JOY (Junior Orthodox Youth)

JOY is a ministry to Kindergarten through 6th grade children of the St. Demetrios Rocky River Greek Orthodox Church.

Our mission and goal is to lead our young people into experiencing the Holy Orthodox Faith. By developing a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and becoming active sacramental members of the living church, our young people will be equipped with tools necessary to assist them in their journey toward salvation.

JOY takes part in many fun events like Fall Fun Night, Gingerbread House Making, Vacation Bible School and more! By laying a foundation of faith at this age, the young people will have something that will guide and strengthen them as they progress into junior high and high school. Those interested should contact either Marina Papafil or the Church Office.

• Panagia’s Little Lambs

Families with children ages 3 months-4 years are invited to our parish’s newest ministry! We gather at 10-11 a.m. on Mondays  at the St Demetrios JOY Room to play, sing, read, craft and play games! For information, contact Toni-Marie Basourakis or the Church Office.
