For many Syriac Orthodox (and I suspect other Orthodox as well), the parish is primarily an ethnic community club. Fellowship and communion are very important in Christian life, but fellowship without God at the center and neglects worship does not belong in a church. Parents, take heed and model for your children the spiritual life that the Holy Church commends to its faithful.
