Crown of Life Welcomes St Mina and Pope Kyrillos VI Coptic Orthodox The Church Council has decided to host an Egyptian Coptic Orthodox Church. Members of this church have fled Egypt because of persecution by Islam in Egypt. In many cases their lives or the lives of loved one were threatened. In some case their relatives have been murdered simply because they are Christians living and worshiping in what now is an intolerant Islamic State. Thank God, they are free to worship the one true God in America. The church, St Mina and Pope Kyrillos VI Coptic Orthodox Church will meet at Crown of Life on Saturday mornings, for worship, from 8AM to about noon, and Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 PM for Bible Study. Ordinarily they worship on Sundays, but they will worship on Saturdays to not interfere with our worship and Sunday activities. They will conduct Bible Studies on a different day during Advent and Lent. This will not change our mid-week services in those seasons. They have hired a janitorial service to clean up each time they use our facilities. They are paying to use our church. Please make them welcome when you meet. Thank you to the people that came out for the clean up day. Your time and hard work is greatly appreciated. Sherwood Forest put mulch around the trees and bushes. Thank you to Carol Thomas and her crew for making the grounds look nice.
