On Monday, September 1, 2014, the St. Tikhon's community gathered at the homes of Michael and Sophia Pierce, and Matthew and Ashley Joyner for the Annual Beginning of the Year Labor Day Celebration.  

There was a tremendous turnout as good food and fellowship were shared by all. Many thanks to the Pierces and the Joyners for hosting the event, as well as all those who assisted with the setup and cleaning. A very special thank you is due to the newest member of the unofficial St. Tikhon’s Bluegrass Band, first year student and fiddler extraordinaire Mikel Hill for rounding out an already amazing ensemble.
