Please join us this Sunday during our parish meal for a seminar by Alexander & Inna Shatalovich entitled: "Love worketh no ill to his neighbor." (Romans 13:10)

Materials to review before the seminar will be available soon. You won't want to miss this opportunity to learn from two experienced Orthodox Psychologists! All are welcome!

We present here a short educational offering for both children and adults. Parents are asked to review the children’s portion with their children. It is very important for us to attend the Divine Services on Sundays and whenever else we are able, but in addition it is our spiritual responsibility to educate ourselves and our families in the faith. It is our hope that this mid-week offering will be an aid in this regard. Please contact Fr. Gregory with questions or suggestions.

For Adults: an explanation of the Sunday's gospel reading by Blessed Theophylact:

There will be no Ask the Priest tonight. We are on the agenda at the Lima Township Planning Commission to discuss our cemetery plans. We ask the prayers of all that this will go smoothly. We have had very good interactions with the township over these last few years, so we do not anticipate any major issues, but prayers are still appreciated! Fr. Gregory

Today in Moscow Archpriest Sergei Vishnevsky reposed in the Lord at age 91. He had four sons, all of whom are priests themselves. And one of them is Fr. Pavel Vishnevky, who has been instrumental in our Russia with Love efforts. We ask that you remember the newly-reposed Fr. Sergei in your prayers during this 40 days, his 40th day being April 29, 2017. Please find here an interesting article about Fr. Sergei from the New York Times from 1993:

Dear Friends,

Unfortunately I have acquired a stomach virus and thus will not be able to serve this morning. I ask your forgiveness for the inconvenience and your prayers that I will recover in time to serve Wednesday!

Fr. Gregory

Yes – this year this feast falls on MARCH 21. It is true that the commemoration of the Martyrs is March 22, but when March 22 is the middle Wednesday of Great Lent (as it is this year), the commemoration of the Cross moves the feast of the Martyrs to March 21. Please join us and please spread the word about the translation of the feast. A flyer to share can be found here:
