Calling all members and regular attendees! Please join us during coffee hour after the Divine Liturgy on Sunday, 29 January 2023, as we will hold our annual parish meeting.

Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory forever!
On 02 February, the Orthodox Church celebrates the Feast of the Meeting of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the Temple. One of the twelve Great Feasts on the liturgical calendar, this day commemorates the presentation of Jesus by Mary and Joseph to the Temple on the fortieth day after His birth, being received into the arms of the righteous Simeon. (Gospel of St. Luke 2:22-38)
Please join us on Wednesday, 01 February 2023, at 6pm, as we celebrate the service of Vespers for the Feast.
Also on this day, due to its association with light (cf. Luke 2:32), it is customary to bless candles that will be used for the following year. If you have candles that you would like to be blessed, please bring them with you to church.
Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory forever!
Calling all painters! We need your help! If you would like to help out with painting the interior of the church, please join us on Saturday, 04 February 2023, at 9:00am. No skills required and all supplies provided!
A special thank you to Dr. Jim L. for spearheading this and other building related projects.
When Thou, O Lord, wast baptized in the Jordan / worship of the Trinity wast made manifest / for the voice of the Father bore witness to Thee / calling Thee His beloved Son / And the Spirit in the form of a dove / confirmed the truth of His word / O Christ our God, Who hath appeared and enlightened the world, / glory to Thee!
Troparion for the Feast of Theophany
