Main Sermon 8/18/24

Many individuals struggle with understanding the difference between a want and a need. Many, if not most, all of us struggle with what we want and what we need alongside our daily worries and anxieties.

This beautiful Season dedicated to the Mother of God helps us to refocus on what is really needed in our life... CHRIST!

Main Sermon 8/25/24

In the Gospel Passage today we hear the continuation of what happened after the Miracle of the feeding of the 5000 men (not counting the women and children). The apostles were caught in a storm on the boat and Christ walked on the water to them.

What happened miracle happened next?

What's the difference between Faith and Fear?

What does this passage have to do with our fear and anxieties today?

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.
