A blessed and joyous Feast of the Theophany of Our Lord Jesus Christ to all! Christ is baptized! In the Jordan!
When You, O Lord were baptized in the Jordan / the worship of the Trinity was made manifest / for the voice of the Father bore witness to You / and called You His beloved Son. / And the Spirit, in the form of a dove, / confirmed the truthfulness of His word. / O Christ, our God, You have revealed Yourself / and have enlightened the world, glory to You!
Troparion for Feast of Theophany
Dear parish family and friends,
Unfortunately, due to Father Gregory’s recent illness contracted this week, we will be serving a Reader’s Service tomorrow morning, the Forefeast of Theophany, at 9am in lieu of our normal Divine Liturgy.
Please keep Fr. Gregory and his family in your prayers.
Thank you!
Today the Virgin gives birth to the Transcendent One, / and the earth offers a cave to the Unapproachable One! / Angels with shepherds glorify Him! / The wise men journey with a star! / Since for our sake the Eternal God was born as a Little Child!
Kontakion for the Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ
May God grant you a blessed and merry Christmas!
A heartfelt congratulations to our newest parish member, Jordan (Ephraim), who was received into the Orthodox Church this morning via chrismation.
May God grant you many years!
Glory to Jesus Christ!
Please note that we have scheduled Friday, September 17 (6 pm to 9 pm) and Saturday, September 18 (10 am to 2 pm) as Parish Work Days – no experience is needed, as the skills needed are limited. This is in anticipation of our re-establishing Coffee Hour after Liturgy in the coming weeks, with the (cautious) relaxation of some of the pandemic restrictions. The tasks that need to be accomplished are mostly due to the new kitchen renovations/construction, and the lack of recent use, and include things such as installing handles on the new kitchen cabinets, bringing supplies up from the basement, filling and organizing the kitchen cabinets, general cleaning, etc. … there are things that can be done by people of all ages and physical abilities, so please make an effort to come out and participate.
Please contact Alex Krowzow via home phone (410-420-0498) or email (alkrowzow@gmail.com) and let him know of your availability (please note that this is a new email for Alex).
Thanks! I look forward to seeing you, and worshiping with you, soon! Take care, and have a good evening.
With love in Christ,
frGregory
Please join us this evening, June 9, at 6:00pm as we celebrate the wondrous Feast of the Ascension of our Lord with the service of Vespers.
