The congregation has existed
since 4 or five years ago, but failed to stand on firm ground until 01/ 07/
2010. Our two religious advisors were Fr. Abdallah al-Khouri Benjamin and
Chorepiscopus Afram along with the congregation manager Hadeel Abdallah. The
congregation used to have 18 members and continued to work till the present.
Now it has 32 members. The congregation has elected a new manager, Mr. Rami
Khalil. Following are the main activities of the congregation:
- visiting
sick people and offering presents to them
- attending
funerals and offering condolences and material support
- cooperation
with the members of the religious forum in all its activities
- following
up the youth and encourage them to attend church
- showing
films on data show in more than one occasion
- In
10/ 08/ 2010, and in cooperation with the religious forum, the
congregation has prepared programs for the celebration held for the students of
the summer course that was completed last summer for both sexes. The
congregation has in more than one occasion, held parties during religious
holidays.
- Organizing
entertainment picnics in participation with the choral and members of the
religious forum. One such activity was a picnic to al-Sayida Monastery. The
congregation also donated a sum of ID 75,000 in support to the monastery’s
orphans.

Our organization would like to
offer many programs and religious soirées but this is not possible due to lack
of funding.
