Feast of Pentecost

June 12, 2019 at 9:31 am

Blessed art You O Christ Our God / You have revealed the fishermen as most wise / By sending down upon them the Holy Spirit / Through them You drew the world into Your net / O Lover of Man, Glory to You!
Troparion for the Feast of Pentecost

Please join us this Sunday, June 16, as we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost. Following the Divine Liturgy, the Kneeling Vespers of Pentecost will be held. All are welcome!

To learn more about the Great Feast of Pentecost, see the Pentecost article on the Orthodox Church in America website.

Feast of the the Ascension of Our Lord

June 4, 2019 at 10:34 pm

O Christ God, You have ascended in Glory, / Granting joy to Your disciples by the promise of the Holy Spirit. / Through the blessing they were assured / That You are the Son of God, / The Redeemer of the world!
Troparion for the Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord

Please join us on June 5th as we celebrate the Vigil for the Feast of the Ascension. The vigil will begin at 7PM.

Please note that as of this coming Sunday, May 5th, and every first Sunday of each month, coffee hour will be changed to a pot luck coffee hour fellowship. We are asking that our parishioners, particularly those who aren’t a part of the current coffee hour donor rotation, bring something to eat and also stay a few minutes to help clean up after eating.

This change is necessary to reduce the amount of times those people who donate their time and food, sometimes twice per month, would otherwise have to do so during the year. It will also permit those who aren’t regular coffee hour contributors an opportunity to participate and bring some different foods/drinks to break the fast. Paper products and coffee will be provided by the church. We hope that everyone can be creative and join in this fellowship.

As always, if bringing food for this is a financial challenge, you can be reimbursed confidentially for the food you bring, just let Lia or Father Gregory know. A new coffee hour list will be published reflecting this change. Contact Lia Krowzow with any questions or concerns at 410-652-2822. Thank you for your understanding.

New Sidewalk at Four Evangelists

April 22, 2019 at 1:30 pm

Thanks to our own parishioner Connor Seeley, along with help from Boy Scout Troop #777, we have a new front sidewalk! Connor is working hard on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and this sidewalk project is part of that endeavor.

The new walkway runs parallel to the entry ramp and connects the side parking-lot sidewalk with the front entrance steps. The sidewalk will be great asset to our property and comes at a perfect time, as we will be using the sidewalk to process around the church on several occasions during Holy Week and Pascha.

Thank you Connor! And thanks to Troop #777 for helping!
