When I sing a song in the church or in my prayers, I always ask myself if I meant it or not. Do you do the same? Some of the songs we sing are promises we make in front of God. In our songs, we tell him that we are going to Praise, Respect, and Serve.... Him, and we keep on telling him that we will always be His children, and will never be attracted to the world and follow Him forever. This reminds me the verses of St Mark 14:27-31, where Jesus predicts Peter's denial (Mathew 26:31-35).

The stage of nursery and early childhood has distinctive qualities, which we ought to know in order to relate to a child...we relate to him with what is suitable to the level of his mentality. If we fail - to a great extent - such failure returns to us, we must have misunderstood him or used the wrong means to attract him.
Eritrea, located along the southwest coast of the Red Sea, was the site of the ancient Christian Kingdom of Axum. Eritrea has been attracted and notable for its architecture, hacing a written culture and maintaining a flourishing trade not only with the Axumite kingdom but also with the Middle East and the Far East as well. For hundreds of years, Eritrea was in control of a large area extending into the Arabian Peninsula across the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden was particularly important.

The youth retreat organized by the Canonical Eritrean Orthodox Church on the West Coast was held from Friday, June 30 to July 3, 2023, at the University of Oregon campus. It proved to be a gratifying experience for everyone who participated. Over 300 youths participated at this retreat.
This retreat allowed the youth to reflect on their spiritual life, learn about their church, and forge connections with each other. Furthermore, the retreat included adventurous activities that created lasting memories.
The upcoming East Coast youth retreat also is scheduled to take place from Thursday, July 6 to July 9, 2023, in Virginia. As we prepare for this event, we pray to God for a successful event and the fulfillment of its intended purpose. Around 200 youths are expected to participated at this retreat.
May God's blessings extend to our youth and the Church.
