About our Worship & Liturgical Life:

Each Sunday is the Lord's Day, the first day of the week, in which Jesus rose from the dead.  
We commemorate Christ's Resurrection specifically once each year on Pascha (aka Easter).  
Each Sunday we gather in worship in celebration of His Resurrection, having a mini-Pascha each week.

The Orthodox Church celebrates Twelve Great Feasts throughout the year, in addition to 
Pascha, the Feast of Feasts.  These 12 feasts commemorate the most important events in the life of our 
Lord Jesus Christ and His Mother the Theotokos, as well as the finding of Christ's Cross. These days 
are especially important opportunities to set aside our ordinary routines, keep the day holy, 
and participate in the worship of the Church.

Whenever possible, we encourage everyone to make an extra effort to attend the services of these
Great Feasts and to celebrate them as a community of faith.

The Church also honors saints and other feasts throughout the year that go beyond the twelve great feasts.
Please consider joining us in prayer as a community as we worship our Lord, Who is wondrous in His saints,
throughout the year.

This Sunday

National Church Music Sunday is a day in which we recognize those women and men who have heard and responded to the Lord’s invitation to be church musicians: that is, our parish chanters and choir singers. As church musicians, these people lead the laity in the liturgical dialogue of our worship services. In glory to God, the Holy Trinity, they commit themselves to learning the hymns of our Orthodox faith, understanding the sequence of our liturgical worship, and actively offering their prayers in song to enhance the beauty of our worship.  We ask each of them, and our congregation as well, to be mindful of the special ministry they fulfill in singing the hymns of our faith and leading us to worship.  Join us as we honor them all, and in particular honor those who have hit anniversaries of service.

Acolytes: Help and our Acolyte "Altar Boy" Meeting:  All 2nd-12th grade boys are invited to take a role in assisting the clergy as acolytes in the sactuary, which surrounds the Holy Altar.  Following Sunday School on October 4th, we will onboard those who will be joining for the first time at any age, as well as offer training for these new and our veteran acolytes.
