Great Lent Giveaway
(GLG)
(GLG)
The Great Lent Giveaway was designed as a way for our youth to learn about the beauty of Great
Lent and instill in them that Great Lent is not only a time of fasting but a time to do good works and
of contemplation, while preparing for the death and Glorious Resurrection of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The 2011 program and programs from past years are provided
below. They may be used during Great Lent or be adapted for use during your normal Youth Group Sessions.
The GLG is a partnership of the OYM and the Jr. Ukrainian Orthodox League.

What is UOC Monastery
Initiative?
In 2010, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church inherited a 30 acre piece
of land with the intent to build a monastery on the property.
During the Ukrainian Orthodox League Convention of that same
summer, the Hierarchs of our church called to its people to
support their efforts in starting a monastery.
The Junior Convention body rose to the occasion and pledged to raise $5,000 over a several year time period.
This year we are asking that all the youth of our church support this effort by helping to raise funds and awareness through the Great Lent Giveaway.
His Beatitude Metropolitan Constantine has often stated that the stability and future of the church is in its monasteries. It is the monks and nuns who pray without ceasing for Christ's Church and the world that provide us with the ability to survive in the "outside" world. Our Holy Ukrainian Orthodox Church has been granted many blessings but one we have yet to receive is that of our own monastery.
