College Student Sunday - September 18, 2005
As designated by
SCOBA, the Sunday after the Elevation of the
Cross is officially recognized as College
Student Sunday each year. On September 18, 2005,
our hierarchs are asking for the support of our
clergy and parishes for the important ministry
of Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF) to the
thousands of Orthodox Christian students
scattered on campuses throughout North America.
I am a student... What can I or my OCF do? Please make sure your parish's clergy are aware of College Student Sunday and encourage them to support the day. Get involved in the College Student Sunday (It's your day!). Make yourself visible at church, ask the clergy if you could talk to the parish about your own OCF experience or use some of the information provided above. Encourage your entire OCF to show up and be available after Divine Liturgy. It is a great chance for your OCF to find support. So many people are willing to help! If you don't have an OCF, College Student Sunday could be a launching pad to start one, find students, talk to your parish and your off! Update Your Contact Information / Resources · Start of a new school year-- update you OCFs contact information! Email corrections to your OCF's online directory record to info@ocf.net. · Don't have an OCF on your campus, don't fear, we can help you start one!
