Classes continue for those desiring to become Orthodox or learn more about our rich Faith. The reception date for those entering the Church will be at the Divine Liturgy on Holy Saturday morning, April 26. Classes are on Wednesdays during the Great & Holy Fast at 7:30 pm following the Liturgies of Presanctified Gifts. They will be March 26, April 2, 9, 16, & 18. Again, these classes are open not only to those preparing to be received into the Church; but for anyone who is interested in learning about the “One True Faith” – Orthodoxy.

Grace & Peace to all. Kali Dynami as we end the 2nd week of the Great Fast going
into the 3rd.
Tomorrow we remember St Gregory Palamas. The Gospel lesson is about Christ healing the Paralytic. If nothing else, it conveys the fact that if we really want to come close to Christ and receive His healing and blessing, we will overcome all obstacles, even if it means climbing to the housetop and coming through the roof.
The pews are now back in place and all but the finishing touches are completed with the tile installation. It looks beautiful. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the project, especially Veronica Gatrousis and Kimon Dafoulas. Thank you to the crew that removed the pews and rug, then put them back. Thank you also to the ladies who came in today to clean up. A final thank you and kudos to Maria who shepherded the project. Now to the Rectory!!!!!!!!
While we’re thanking everyone, want to thank
the chanters, Fr Charles, and everyone who has been
attending the daily services. The salutations last evening
were very nice.
Hope to see you all tomorrow. Have a Blessed Sunday.
