Great Compline Each Monday through April 15th, at 6:00 pm. This is a prayer service in which many psalms are chanted together with evening prayers usually said with the Small Compline. It includes the well-known hymns “God is with Us” and “O Lord of Hosts”.
Liturgy of the Pre-Sanctified Gifts each Wednesday at 6pm and Friday at 9am:
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 with our spiritual lives 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 combination of Small Compline (after dinner prayers) and the Canon and salutations to the Theotokos. It is celebrated on the first five Fridays of the Great Fast.
Church Parking Lot: Please do not leave empty spots in front of your vehicle when parking in the Church parking lot. Parking spots labeled as a handicapped parking spots are reserved for vehicles with handicapped parking permits only.
