Our goal for the Year will be to affirm the importance of the family as a blessed gift from God and to address teh specific needs of families as they try to live in a very challending culture and world. The theme for the Year of the Family will be "Family as a Church." This theme is derived from the phrase used by the Apostle Paul "Kat'oikon ekklesia", "the church in the home." Just as early Christian families were influenced by the unique connection to the church meeting in the home, we will focus on the importance of families being connected to the Church, so that worship (Leiturgia), witness (Martyria), education (Paideia), service (Diakonia), fellowship (Koinonia) are attributes that are known and practiced in the home, just as they are in the Church. Through this program we will bring more aspects of our faith into the home bring more families into the Church.
