LiveStreaming Liturgy via Roku in the Nursery!
In order to better accommodate the busy little lambs of our flock and their hard working parents, we have installed a 46 inch TV in our Nursery in the Sunday School wing so that parents can still participate in the service via our Livestream broadcast. Please ask the Parish council to direct you toward the nursery if you should need it.

What Does it Mean to Be Green?
Did you know that His All Holiness Patriarch Bartholomew is known as the Green Patriarch. But what does that actually mean? Come and discover the answer with our Christians Caring for Creation ministry as we screen The Green Patriarch on Friday, July 21 in the fellowship hall. The film explores His Eminence's vision for us as Orthodox Christians and our responsibility as stewards of the Earth. We will be hosting a pot-luck dinner at 6:30 pm, with the film to start at 7pm, so bring a dish to share and come learn with us!
