• AND the many Volunteers
Moving Forward
• Having a Coptic Day in every church should
be mandatory, treated like a church feast.
• Bring our church to the forefront of the Christian
World—a world starving for the light & truth.
• It is no longer an option. It is our responsibility.
IT IS A MUST DO.
SUMMARY
• Develop next generation of SECOND GEN leaders
• Carry mission forward from one Gen to the next.
• Church History is a part of the training and
spiritual development.
• Getting to know our Church is a lot of work. Coptic
Day is an example of such efforts.
• We need the energy of our young men and women.
• Organize their own activities and Community
work.
Bible Reference:
Our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, would be demanding
of us to share this gem we have in our midst.
Our Coptic Orthodox Church
for the benefit of others as a talent and bring forth
more fruits to the Lord [Matthew 25:14-30].
