Shop a one-day-only multi-ethnic food bazaar and bakery, tour the church, learn about the iconographic murals, and hear St. Symeon’s internationally acclaimed choir at this fun event for the whole family.

St. Symeon Orthodox Christian Church is located at the convergence of the Highland Park, Forest Park, and Southside neighborhoods in Birmingham, where the congregation “moved in” to a newly built church building in January 2015. Neighbors are probably familiar with the church’s iconic Russian style onion dome and the large mosaic icon overlooking Clairmont Avenue. When the church was brand new, the interior walls were bare and white. They are not bare anymore! A team of talented iconographers have now made three trips to Birmingham, each time filling a new part of the church with vivid iconographic murals in the ancient Christian tradition. There is much to see!

The St. Symeon Food and Culture Fair is the congregation’s way of welcoming neighbors to come tour the new church building, learn about the iconographic murals being painted inside, hear the internationally acclaimed choir, and shop at a one-day-only multi-ethnic food bazaar and bakery. There will be coffee, tea, and treats to enjoy at the fair plus plenty of baked goods to take home. Come to the fair on April 28, 2018, from 10-4.

Audience members can expect to see words and beautiful patterns as the water falls to the ‘lagoon’ below. Cirque Italia is ready to provide a breathtaking experience. This new stage by itself is enough to amaze the most demanding audience, and synchronized with the most creative display of superhuman talent – the result is simply out of this world!
The latest trends of the industry are challenged with every Cirque Italia appearance and this 2nd unit is not going to be any different. A careful casting selection has united the best artists from all over the world. This production will feature acts all the way from Russia to Mexico. Cirque Italia believes in multi-culturalism as one of our strongest assets.
Packed full of incredible acts, there is no room for boredom. The variety presented is exceptional. For those who enjoy whimsy, we have an Avatar. There is almost no bodily limit for our contortionist, Ricardo, as he bends in ways you never would have imagined. Our incredible wheel of death performance features a front summersault flip, something you will be hard-pressed to see anywhere else. If that doesn’t get your head spinning, perhaps our 5 roller skaters and their incredible tricks and turns will. And although Cirque Italia does not use animals in our performances, this year we will be featuring amazing lifelike elephant puppets. They are so well made, you might just think they are real. Whether it’s a futuristic laser act or mesmerizing aerial performances, the show has something for all tastes and expectations. One thing Cirque Italia sets out to accomplish is to create a type of world-class entertainment suitable for all age groups.
This new second unit also follows the same strict animal-free policy that makes the Water Circus stand out from other circus entertainment shows. The “magic touch” of the Italian entrepreneur Manuel Rebecchi, President and Owner of Cirque Italia, added to the flawless direction of the COO, Chanté DeMoustes, and has turned this once romantic project into a successful production known and acclaimed all over the country.
Don’t miss the opportunity to be amazed and transported to a fantastic realm where your deepest dreams can -and will- come true.

Heritage Christian Academy will make 10,000 meals to feed needy children
2018-05-08 08:30 - 14:30 UTC | Heritage Christian Academy, 6200 Lou George Loop, Birmingham, AL, 35022, United States
Heritage Christian Academy will be participating in a Feed the Need mission when 10,000 meals for starving children will be packed in the Shades Mountain Community Church gym on May 8th from 8:30 – 2:30pm. Students ages 5 – 18 will be packing food “to make a hands-on difference in the world”. The meals packed consist of rice, vitamins, dried vegetables, and protein. Eighty-five hundred meals will be shipped to Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Government instability, deforestation and natural disasters have contributed to Haiti’s extreme poverty. The remaining 1500 meals will stay in Birmingham to feed malnourished children in our community.
HCA is partnering with The Champion Group who explains that, “The concept behind Feed the Need is essentially bringing an overseas ‘mission trip’ experience onto a school campus… (Feed the Need) gives participants the opportunity to make a hands-on difference in the world while learning direct character lessons of selflessness, serving others, generosity and gratitude.
The May 8th “Packing Party” will include Students, Faculty, Staff, HCA families and others in the community who would like to participate in the opportunity to serve. Funds raised exceeding the cost of 10,000 meals will go toward school technology enhancement, gym updates and teacher continuing education. For more information visit: http://igfn.usvf/HCAChristian.
