COVID-19 UPDATE
**At the direction of His Eminence, Metropolitan Evangelos, all non-worship activities are to be canceled until further notice, in an attempt to curb the spread of Covid-19.**
**PARTICIPATION IN ALL DIVINE SERVICES IS VIA LIVE STREAM ONLY UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE**
=========================================
This Sunday's Orthros/Liturgy will be live streamed. Click here to participate. We are glad to announce that we now offer a live stream of all our Divine Services. Click the above link to be directed to our Youtube page. This is a new endeavor, so please excuse any production issues that you may encounter.
Our Sunday Services are continuing as usual, and we ask that you prayerfully consider to continue to make your collection tray donation to support the mission of our church. If you would like to make a donation please visit our website (use the "General Donation" option). We thank you for your continued support.
As the threat of COVID-19 continues, the church office will remain closed for visits, but will be operating remotely in order to keep parish affairs in order. Please call the church office if you need assistance.
It's truly a blessing for us to be able to still conduct the divine services, especially the pinnacle of all services, the Divine Liturgy. Since we are not all able to gather in person, but in spirit, I would like to commemorate at the Proskomide as many of the names of the living as you provide. I already have a list of names of those whom I know are home bound, or not able to communicate via email, and will commemorate them as well. Please add the names (first name only) of the living to the linked form so that I may commemorate them on Sunday. Commemoration of Names Form.
Since we're unable to meet in person, we're gauging interest on having a brief online bible study. Frequency of gatherings will depend on interest. Please fill out the form online if you are interested: Click here.
The St. Eugenia Philoptochos will hold a general meeting on Thursday April 1st at 7:15 pm, via teleconference. All members are encouraged to attend.
Great Compline every Mondays at 6:00 pm through April 6th. 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 Pre-Sanctified Gifts Wednesdays at 6:00 pm and every Friday at 9:00am:
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 Small Compline service and the Canon and salutations to the Theotokos. It is celebrated on the first five Fridays of the Great Fast.
