Memorials...

With the Saints give rest, O Christ, to the soul of Your servant where there is no pain,

nor sorrow, nor suffering; but life everlasting.

Μετά των Αγίων ανάπαυσον, Χριστέ, τας ψυχάς των δούλων σου,

ένθα ουκ έστι πόνος, ου λύπη, ου στεναγμός, αλλά ζωή ατελεύτητος.

BAPTISMS

"All who have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ. Alleluia"

We welcome into the Greek Orthodox Faith

WEDDINGS

"Join them together in oneness of mind; crown them with wedlock into one flesh;

Grant to them the fruit of the womb, and the gain of well favored children."

_______________________________________________________________________

Our Sunday School program provides a wonderful chance for the young members of our church, from Pre-K to 12th grade, to deepen their understanding of the Orthodox faith. Through the study of the Old and New Testaments, discussions on the importance of religious holidays and feast days, and exploration of the lives of the saints, our students gain knowledge and appreciation of our faith. Join us as we begin a new year of Religious Education. All are welcome!
