We welcome you, with pleasure, to our 15^th annual Labor Day Middle Eastern Food Festival! This Festival event is our largest annual fundraiser. We plan this event yearly to reach out to the Greater Washington, DC Community, to share our love of Jesus Christ, to provide the best in Middle Eastern food and to offer you our warm Middle Eastern hospitality.  

We find joy in the thousands of people that have come to share in our Festival. With the help of God, parishioner support and the generosity of our kind friends, we have seen a dream become a reality with the completion of our new religious education wing. Our parish has many needs as we continue to grow and meet the needs of our expanding congregation. Our 25-year old kitchen, which has served countless meals to the bereaved and those in need, has received a necessary “face lift”.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who contributed to and supported our efforts in these events:

• The "Guardian Angels" who donated funds, products, and/or services to help underwrite Festival expenses.
• The Seed Money and Adopt-a-Food Donors who generously donated financially to our pre-Festival campaign. 
• The Sponsors who donated supplies and/or services to help produce our Festival.
• The Annual Ad Book Donors who have supported us by placing advertisements in our ad book.

Please help by using the services of our Festival Sponsors and Advertisers.  

We want to thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts, for your participation in our Festival. We hope you enjoy yourself and that you will return next year. Look for our Hafli, TONIGHT, August 30th, from 7-11pm with Live Music. Admission is free. We look forward to having you with us again at our future events! 

God bless you all
