A Message from the Parish Council
Father Nick will not be with us this Sunday, as he has been feeling under the weather with a low-grade fever and congestion. Father went to the Doctor and took the Rapid Covid-19 test on Friday and the results came back negative. However, the Doctor ordered a second more accurate test and the results will not be known until this coming Wednesday. In the meantime, Father has been instructed to quarantine and get plenty of rest and care for his health. Please keep the Marcus family in your prayers.
For this Sunday we will be joined by Father John Artemas. We are grateful to have Father John back with the Nativity family while Father Nick is resting. Orthos and Liturgy for Agios Nektarios on Monday, November 9 is cancelled, and Paraklesis on Wednesday evening November 11 is also cancelled. Father Nick wants to keep Zoom Bible study on the calendar for Tuesday morning. Services for the remainder of next week are dependent upon Father Nick’s clearance from quarantine.
