First Fridays (at Assumption GOC)

A hallmark ministry of Assumption Church in Scottsdale, First Fridays is a program available to all HOPE, JOY, and Jr GOYA youth (Kindergarten-8th grade).  Providing youth with an evening of fun, fellowship, and learning, this parish program is hosted on the first Friday of each month, September through May. Running from 6-8:30 PM, the mission of this monthly activity, beside providing a safe environment for youth to hang out and enjoy one another, is to engage through fun activities, fellowship, and discussion our youth in their Orthodox faith.  

Ultimately a formational and educational program, which includes campfires, group activities/games, movies, arts & crafts, and much more, First Fridays is a ministry connecting youth with their peers, community as a whole, and ancient Christian witness.  

Those parents wishing for their youth to participate should arrive no later than 6 PM, and check in with our volunteer staff.  Please feel free to contact the Assumption church office at (480) 991-3009 with any questions.
