Please sign our guest book and join us for refreshments and fellowship after the services.

Feel free to ask questions before or after the services. Any member of our Council or Congregation are glad to assist you. Literature about the Orthodox faith and this parish can be found in the narthex (back of the Church).

We have a new tenat for the Red House! However, before she can move in this month, we have to remove the furniture left over from the Tag Sale. If you have a truck and the time to help with this last project, please speak with Phyllis or Fr Steven. This furniture has to be removed during the next two weeks!

This year's Annual Meeting is scheduled for November 15th. In accordance with our By-Laws, we are seeking two new members to sit on the parish council. If you are approached by a member of the nominations committee please give serious thought to allowing yourself to be nominated. If you are not approached, but would consider being nominated, please talk to Sophie or Glenn.

The Diocean Assembly will be Oct 23rd and 24th in Willamantic, CT. Our elected deligate this year is Luba Martins with Marlene Melesko as the alternate. If you have any questions, please see Fr Steven.

The parish council has determined the need to establish two new committees: a Red House committee and a 25th Anniversary committee. The 25th Anniversary committee will be primarily responsible for investigating and planning events related to the celebration of this parish milestone. The Red House committee will be responsible for investigating the house’s historical significance, possible grant opportunities and make recommendations to the parish as to uses for the house. The mandates of both these committees will be further clarified and established by the participants and the council. If you are interested in participating, please see a member of the parish council.
