Our Church is open to parishioners, with social distancing, in accordance with civil requirements. Each attendee is required to 'sign-in' upon entry. Hand sanitizer is available at the door. A face mask
is STILL required for entry. As of Feb 5th, 2021, we are now able to accomodate 70 people, socially distanced. We are encouraging families, who have 'quarantined' together to return, and sit together. This will enable the entire congregation to remain safe, while still giving praise to our Lord and Saviour.

The season of Great Lent is the time of preparation for the feast of the Resurrection of Christ. It is the living symbol of man’s entire life which is to be fulfilled in his own resurrection from the dead with Christ. It is a time of renewed devotion: of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. It is a time of repentance, a real renewal of our minds, hearts and deeds in conformity with Christ and his teachings. It is the time, most of all, of our return to the great commandments of loving God and our neighbors. In the Orthodox Church, Great Lent is not a season of morbidity and gloominess. On the contrary, it is a time of joyfulness and purification. We are called to “anoint our faces” and to “cleanse our bodies as we cleanse our souls.” The very first hymns of the very first service of Great Lent set the proper tone of the season:
It is our repentance that God desires, not our remorse. We sorrow for our sins, but we do so in the joy of God’s mercy. We mortify our flesh, but we do so in the joy of our resurrection into life everlasting. We make ready for the resurrection during Great Lent, both Christ’s Resurrection and our own. |
