Orthodox Explorers Club

Bloopers! Sisters, Mia and Téa had some good fun sharing their thoughts and talents with you all through this video series that joins science and faith! Sometimes the scenes didn’t come out as they expected! It’s a good reminder that God gave us the gift of laughter, and that work and fun and family and community can all sit side by side in one day’s work, in one large endeavor. Send them a note and let them know if you watched or enjoyed their series!
