Announcements

  • Scarlett and Audra are the two team leads for Coffee Hour refreshments - if you would like to volunteer, please see one of them! This can be as easy as picking up something from the grocery store or helping to clean up afterwards. The goal of this team system is to make sure we can continue providing coffee hour consistently without the same few people carrying the responsibility every week. Many parishes use this approach successfully so that everyone can contribute in ways that fit their time, energy, and budget. Even small roles make a big difference. If you’ve been on the fence or unsure how you could help, this is a great way to jump in.
    Your help is very appreciated!
  • Fr Dan will be here for Holy Week - please keep an eye on the calendar in the coming weeks!

Reader Services
Our Reader services are done when we do not have a priest. It begins with Orthros at 9am, followed by Typika generally around 10am. Afterwards we have Bible Study and discussion in the community hall. This is a great time for any questions that anyone may have. We invite everyone to attend!
 
Prayer for Catechumens
O Lord our God, who dwells in the heavens, and looks down upon all thy works, look down upon thy servants, the catechumens, who have bowed their necks before thee, and grant them a light yoke. Make them honorable members of thy holy Church and vouchsafe unto them the laver of regeneration, the forgiveness of sins and the robe of incorruption, unto the knowledge of thee, our true God.
 
Orthodox Prayer for the Priesthood
O Lord Jesus Christ, enkindle the hearts of all Thy priests with the fire of zealous love for Thee, that they may labor unceasingly in Thine earthly vineyard for the salvation of our souls and the glory of Thine All-Honorable and Majestic Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
