EL TONTO POR CRISTO FILM AT ST. ANDREW

El Tonto Por Cristo is debuting online this Sunday at 5PM PST and we will be hosting a watch party at St. Andrew! Bring your family and friends to enjoy a beautiful Orthodox film. This is the official trailer:

EL TONTO POR CRISTO FILM IN CHICO

Christ is Risen! 

Please join us for a donation-based screening of El Tonto Por Cristo, an Orthodox narrative film produced out of Texas that I am honored to be an Executive Producer for.

TUESDAY THE 26TH AT 6PM at 

Center for Spiritual Living Chico

14 Hillary Ln, Chico, CA 95973

100% of all donations will go into the Sts. Cyril and Methodius Benevolent Fund, which is money used to help those in the community facing financial hardships. 

Spread the word to your families, friends, and anyone you know from other Orthodox parishes or denominations. The film could be a great way to introduce people in your life to Orthodoxy and is sure to prompt some good conversation.  

Free childcare will be provided!  

Please reach out if you have any questions:

New to our parish and wondering how to contribute?

We’re so glad you’re here! If you feel moved to support the life of our parish, there are a couple of simple ways to do so. While we’re currently working on setting up online donations, you’ll find a small box in the Narthex labeled “Tithes and Donations” where you can leave your offering.

Another meaningful way to help is by contributing to our Trapeza Fund, which pays for a festal meals and keeps our weekly fellowship meals going strong. If you’d like to give, there’s a clearly marked coffee can labeled “Trapeza Fund” in the Trapeza. Additionally, if you would like to join one of our four Trapeza teams, please let Elena Ellis know.

Your generosity, no matter the size, helps nourish both body and soul. Thank you for being part of our community!
