During the month of January, the Boys and Girls Omathes (Youth Fellowships) and the Men of the Greek Orthodox Christian Society held their separate annual Camps at Mangrove Mountain, about 90 minutes north of Sydney. The Boys’ and Girls’ Camps were held on the same week from the 14-18th January, whilst the Men’s Camp was held on the weekend of 30th January – 1st February. The theme of the Boys’ and Girls’ Camps was “Give me your heart” (Prov. 23:26) and that of the Men’s Camp “Each one take care how he builds” (1 Cor 3:10). A blessing of all the Camps was the Divine Liturgy Services officiated by Fr Eusebios, Abbot of Pantanassa Monastery, as well as the Compline Service at Holy Cross Monastery for the Girls. The Camps were also privileged to have among their participants interstate visitors from Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane.
