St Mark’s Church News

Dear All,

 

Please note the following 8 announcements and reminders:

 

 

1. Weekly Spiritual Message
Spiritual message of the week by Father Yacoub:

 

Here are 3 things you can do when raising your kids that will change their character and make them very sweet kids:

 

1. Teach them how to love volunteering. For example, if there’s a sick neighbour, family member or friend, you go and clean their house, buy fruit for them, buy gifts for their kids. Also, teach them to spare some of their pocket money for the needy kids in Egypt or in other places of the world. Also, teach them that it would be great to clean the church.

2. Teach the kids that the word of God can be received from Abouna’s mouth. If we get into any difficulty or decision that causes some argument, then we go to Abouna and ask his opinion and take it as if it’s God’s opinion. This will solve many problems in the family. People that do this will have confidence that there is a final solution, and know that if they get stuck in decisions, they go to Abouna.

3. Lastly, let the kids live peacefully knowing that I love my partner and I’ll never separate from him / her. For example, prepare for his / her birthday party, or Mother’s / Father’s Day, go on holidays together; so the kids grow in a very peaceful way. They won’t have the agony of being disturbed by the fear of “mum / dad said they will leave”.

These 3 rules will make you very happy parents, especially in your old age when you see your kids very sweet and very holy; you’ll know that you did well by these 3 rules.
