JOIN US FOR COFFEE FELLOWSHIP
Everyone is welcome to join us for fellowship following services. Today’s fellowship hour is being offered in loving memory of Eva Dukakis by her family. May her memory be eternal!
THE TRIODION BEGINS TODAY
Today we begin the use of the liturgical book called the Triodion. This book contains the special hymns that are used from today through Pascha. The use of this volume announces to us that the beginning of Great Lent (March 7) draws near. Over the next three weeks the Lenten fast is slowly ushered into our lives allowing us to slowly change our fasting pattern.
