Evan Armatas talk about his new book Toolkit for Spiritual Growth – A Practical Guide to Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving.  Each leg of this three-legged stool is explored in depth as a refresher course in basic spirituality, and Fr. Evan gives us ways to implement each of them.

Today it is a vibrant and growing parish of several hundred. The ministries and members of the parish represent a wide range of backgrounds and interests which make the parish a diverse place of worship, witness, and service. In August of 2018, the parish moved into a new 18,000 square foot sanctuary and facility.  In 2002, Father Evan founded the St. Nektarios Education Fund, a non-profit student education program. The fund, which he still manages along with its board, has established five schools in Africa, educated over 5,000 students, and delivered over $1,000,000 in student aid through its network partners of IOCC and OCMC.  Father Evan has served as the Metropolis of Denver Program Director of Camp Emmanuel, its summer youth camp program, and as the Metropolis Clergy Syndesmos President.
