10/1/2011- Family Fish Fry with Fr. Maximus "A Fisher of Men”

The event opened with a rousing vocal performance by the "Bluebells". Food was then served and Fr. Maximus taught us how he brings people to Orthodoxy as well as stories from his evangelical travels. Thanks to Fr. Maximus and FOCA for making this event a success!
