Great Compline every Monday at 6:00 pm. This is a prayer service in which many psalms are chanted together with evening prayers. It includes the well-known hymns “God is with Us” and “O Lord of Hosts”.
Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts: Wednesdays at 6:00 pm and every Friday at 9:00 am. This special liturgy is allowed only during the Great Fast. The Divine Liturgy may not be celebrated on weekdays during Great Lent. However, the need still exists, especially during this time of year when we are struggling against evil and our own weaknesses, to receive the Body and Blood of Christ more often. Therefore, the priest consecrates an extra host on the previous Sunday which is then used during this liturgy, thus the name Pre-Sanctified Liturgy. This is one of the most beautiful services of the Church. Fasting is required from at least the noon meal in order to receive Holy Communion.
The Akathist Service to the Theotokos every Friday at 7:00 pm: This service is a Small Compline service and the Canon and salutations to the Theotokos. It is celebrated on the first five Fridays of the Great Fast.

Please contribute towards the Philoptochos Lenten Food Drive which supports the Frederick Food Bank. There is a great need in our community. Encourage your family, friends, and neighbors to donate the needed food items. We will have a drop-off location in the Narthex throughout the Lenten season.
