How shall we worship God?  The Orthodox Church has answered this question brilliantly: we will worship Him on earth just as He is worshipped in Heaven.  Over the next several months we will be implementing changes to the liturgical music used in the Divine Services.  Each month a new piece of music will be introduced and used, beginning in September with the Thrice Holy Hymn.  In addition to receiving a hard copy of the music you can click on the link below and listen.

About Fasting

In June of 2009, we began doing strategic planning work in order to accomplish the purposes God has ordained for our community.  The "product" that God has ordained for His Church to accomplish is "changed lives, a.k.a., God-like-ness or Theosis".  We began by asking ourselves whether or not our purposes for existing were aligned with God's purposes and His plans.  We have since set about to better align ourselves and accomplish those tasks for the glory of God and the benefit of our souls.

We will be providing periodic updates on our strategic planning efforts and sharing ideas that are being discussed. Everyone in the parish is welcome to be involved in this effort.  To learn more please see:
