Holy Apostles Family,

We are looking forward to seeing you and your toddlers (ages 2-5) at the TOTS program. The program is designed to teach basic elements of our Orthodox Christian faith to the children in a fun, interactive, hands-on environment. TOTS is also an opportunity for parents to build friendships with each other. Please tell your friends and other families about our exciting program.

This spring’s topics will follow the Church calendar. We will start with “Baptism” in January and end with “Christ’s Resurrection” as we celebrate the Anastasi. We will meet on Tuesday mornings (1^st and 3^rd Tuesday of each month). Here is the spring schedule and list of topics:
