On Sunday, November 12, Fr. Nikolai Breckenridge presented Blue Sashes and elective pins to 8 parish youth from St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in Bethlehem, PA. The Sashes for having successfully completed the Angel Rank of the “Heavenly Host”, and the pins for having completed elective requirements within their Angel rank.
“Heavenly Host” provides a foundation of Orthodox Christian Knowledge and experiences for 8-18 year olds. Working through elective requirements, they earn pins for their accomplishments in fulfilling the individual pin tasks.
The program’s Motto is: “Be Holy, for God is Holy”, and their Slogan is: “Do Good to All”, and their Oath is the Nicene Creed.
 
May the Orthodox Church’s Youth have God’s Blessing as they continue to advance in Angel ranks as “Heavenly Hosts”.
