Parish News & Updates
Help us build up the Following Ministries:
Live Stream— Looking to add additional members to help support our service schedule. This is a great opportunity for our High School and Young Adult parishioners and only requires a commitment of a few hours per month!
Hospitality— Looking for a Leader or Co-Leaders to help oversee weekly fellowship: to ensure we have good coverage each week, our supplies are maintained and reordered when needed, and to be a central point of contact for volunteers who have signed up to help and/or contribute.
Facilities (NEW!) — Looking to build a team of parishioners who are willing to help with small projects in and around the church property. If you are interested in joining these or any other ministries, please talk to Father Stephen or contact the church office!

Prayer Ministry “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16 If you need prayer for yourself, a family member, or anyone else in your circle of friends and acquaintances, you can have your prayer requests included in a weekly prayer request list. Also, this new Prayer Ministry is looking for “prayer warriors” who are willing to pray for others in need. Praying for one another is a critical part of living an Orthodox Christian life, and the Prayer Ministry can help you systematically pray for others who need prayer. If you have a prayer request, or would like to become part of this new, important, and exciting ministry, please contact Barbara Cummings via phone or text at 775-848-3677, or via email at StAnthonyPrayerMinistry@gmail.com
