ANNOUNCEMENTS
We are pleased to announce that here at Holy Trinity we will be forming a new group for fellowship and learning which we are calling Practical Orthodoxy. In this group we will be learning more of the traditions and practices of our Orthodox Faith and how we are called to live as Orthodox Christians. For more information, please talk with Father Paisius and Cassidy and Crystal Anderson.
This morning we also commemorate the Holy Saints of the British Isles: the Holy men and women who lived and passed on faithfully the teachings and practices of the Orthodox Faith. Take a look at the beautiful Icon for these Saints this morning!
This week we celebrate the Feasts of Holy Martyrs Cyriacos and Julitta( relics in our Altar) and Saint Vladimir of Kiev on July 15, Saint Marina of Antioch on July 17 and the Holy Prophet Elijah (Elias) on July 20. Please join us for the celebration of these great Saints as we worship together.
As we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Prophet Elijah next weekend, it is a time honored and beautiful tradition for Orthodox Christians to have their vehicles blessed at this Feast. So next Saturday, July 20 and next Sunday, July 21 we will have Blessing of Vehicles following Divine Day on both days.
We are pleased to announce that the printed copies of our Parish schedule for July are now available in the Narthex and Church Side Entrance. Please pick up your copy and join us in the prayer and worship of our Parish Community. The June calendar is also on the church website at https://holytrinitybiloxi.org/.
BIRTHDAYS
Today we offer our best wishes and congratulations to George Vaporis who celebrates his birthday on July 14, and Akaterina Vamvakas and TErica Kelly who celebrate their birthday on July 18, and John Collins who celebrates his birthday on July 20. May the Lord our God bless His servants George, Akaterina, TErica, and John. May He grant to them many more blessed and happy years!
ANNIVERSARIES
We offer our congratulations to Cristian and Meri Ionescu for their anniversary on July 19. They have been married for 43 blessed years.
If we missed your anniversary or birthday it means we don't have you information listed on our roster. Please let us know so we can make the updates.
PRAYERS FOR THE SICK AND RECOVERING
Pray for Saidi Maalouf, Mousa Maalouf, Niki Arnold, Wilson Arnold, Karen Henderson, Photine Hagicostas, Louie Peters, and Demetri Vlahos as they recover from their illnesses. May the Lord our God quickly heal His servants. Get well soon.
Please let Father Paisius know of any parishioner who is sick so we may pray for them.
ORTHODOX STEWARDSHIP
Orthodox Christian Stewardship is a way of life, which acknowledges accountability, reverence, and responsibility before God. A primary goal of Stewardship is to promote spiritual growth and strengthen faith. Becoming a Steward begins when we believe in God, to whom we give our love, loyalty and trust and act on those beliefs. As Stewards, we affirm that every aspect of our lives comes as a gift from Him. Stewardship calls on the faithful to cheerfully offer back to God a portion of the gifts with which they have been blessed. See bulletin inserts for the 2024 Stewardship Pledge Form and a current list of parishioners who have pledged for this year.
