A day on the greens for a good cause — formerly the Annual Saint Elias Golf Tournament, now in its 3rd year as the Invitational Scramble. Thank you to every player, volunteer and sponsor who made the 2026 scramble a success. Player registration, hole sponsorships and Silver/Gold sponsorships for the 2027 scramble will open right here next summer.
Our flagship celebration — two days of Mediterranean music, food, and fellowship for the whole community. Savor authentic Arabic music and Mediterranean cuisine, Turkish coffee, flavored hookah, henna art, and a fashion show, with contributions from the many cultures of the Mediterranean. Start by meeting Fr. George Shawareb, who shares the history and traditions of the Orthodox Church, then head to St. Elias Park for the fun.
Friendly basketball, volleyball, and ping-pong, a watermelon-eating contest, bounce castles, and water play from a fire truck for the kids. Mediterranean food, Turkish coffee, and treats are available on-site — every purchase supports the parish.
Ring in 2027 with the whole parish family — live band and DJ with Superstar Jafar Abanda, keyboardist Wisam Haddad and DJ Bash, dinner, dancing and the countdown. Pick your table on the floor plan and reserve as many seats as you need.

Why We Gather
These events are woven into the life of Saint Elias. The dollars they raise are real and needed — they help fund our Sunday School and youth programs, our choir and outreach, and the everyday upkeep of the building where we pray. But they are more than a line in the budget. Around a festival table, on the golf course, and at the New Year banquet, lifelong friendships are made, newcomers become family, and the doors of the parish swing wide open to all of Arvada. When you buy a ticket or sponsor a hole, you are not just giving — you are joining us.
Want to lend a hand or put your business behind an event? We would love your help. Learn how to volunteer with us, or explore sponsorship and giving to support the parish year-round.
You're Invited
Whether you golf, gather, or simply come hungry for good food and good company, there's a place for you at every Saint Elias event. Reach out with any question — we'd love to see you there.
