New Family Resources Available on Website of The Center for Family Care
The Center for Family Care announces the launch of its improved website. The recently-formed ministry develops programs and provides resources aimed at bringing Orthodox Christianity into the everyday life of families. Through education, The Center strives to create a variety of learning tools to instill an Orthodox Christian ethos inside of the home while inspiring a greater participation in the life of the Church. The formation of the website will support the mission by making resources more available to the faithful.
The goal of the site is to be a clearinghouse of information on raising the family in the Orthodox Church. The website will include resources created by The Center such as the Table Top Prayer Guide, Family Worship Folio, and The Parish Family Night curriculum. In addition, the website has a host of articles, recommended books, and other information that will assist families to grow in the faith. Each month, new information will be added to the site to offer more resources for families. â??We are currently trying to determine other family issues that need to be addressed as we want this site to be pertinent to the contemporary Orthodox family. We look forward to getting input from families to help us further develop this site,â?? stated The Centerâ??s Resource Coordinator, Melissa Tsongranis. The website can be accessed at www.familyaschurch.org. For more information, contact the Center for Family Care at 845-424-8175 or by email at familycare@goarch.org.
