MAIN SERMON 10/6/24


(Fr. Demetri offers his parish priest report during his sermon)


When it is a rainy day out and we are leaving from one place to another, a strong sturdy umbrella is very helpful. The same thing can be said about our stewardship in the life of the Church.


Listen to the sermon to see where you (or your household) fall in line with the two umbrellas shown.


For a visual of this sermon and to see what happened/why one umbrella is ripped in various places click here to watch (fast foward to 2:45:20)

MAIN SERMON 10/13/24


It is October, and the senses of the season are in full affect, pumpkin spice flavors, apple cider, leaves changing colors, etc. In the Gospel Passage for today we hear about the Parable of the Sower and how our Lord goes into detail explaining the seed and each area that it landed/rooted in.


Some questions that need to be asked are:


What kind of "soil" best represents you right now?


What kind of soil would have represented you five years ago?


What kind of crop are you going to yield this year?

PROSFORO NEED

Bread has been the emblem of God’s providence for us, throughout humanity’s history. Both physical (bread as food) and spiritual - the επιούσιον (epiousion) or “supersubstantial” bread of the Lord’s prayer, the bread of Holy Communion.


In the Orthodox Christian church, the pinnacle of our worship is union with Christ, both spiritually but also physically, by consuming the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.


Since the Last Supper, before every Divine Liturgy, one or more of the faithful prepare and bring bread to church to be used as the Body of Christ in the Eucharist. The Orthodox church is liturgical. For those of us who bake prosphoro, the liturgy begins as we prepare to bake!


Prosphoro is an offering to God, made from His material gifts to us, and prepared lovingly and prayerfully.


A special website is available to share with the faithful this ‘proper’ method of preparation of the holy gift according to the Greek Orthodox tradition. Please click here to learn how to bake this beautiful offering.
