Weekly Educational Offering - Prepare for the Coming Sunday! 
27/3/24, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

We present here a short educational offering for both children and adults on the upcoming Sunday's principle Gospel reading so that all can better prepare for the Divine Services. 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 Various Ages: from the Antiochian Archdiocese (various age groups)

Following Liturgy: Lenten Dinner ~ После Литургии: Постный Ужин

The Liturgical Fast for those communing begins after breakfast. In other words, you may eat breakfast, but eat or drink nothing further after that. Parents should use their best judgment regarding their children, as always. Those who confessed on the weekend prior to the Wednesday Presanctified need not confess again on/before Wednesday.

Пост для причащающихся начинается после завтрака, т.е. можно позавтракать, но не пить и не есть после завтрака. Как всегда, родители должны сами решить, что лучше всего подходит для детей. Исповедовавшиеся в предшествующую субботу или воскресенье в среду могут не исповедоваться.

Infants do not commune at this Liturgy ~ Младенцы не причащаются на этой Литургии

Monday First Things - Teachings of the Holy Fathers 
25/3/24, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory


The Fathers call the gathering of the faithful at the Divine Liturgy a concourse (synodos) because all the faithful and the Lord journey on a course together towards the Jerusalem on high. This synaxis shows that the reason for existence of the Church is the unity of the faithful. ‘The Church came into being… so that we might be united. And this is demonstrated by the concourse. What paradise is there like our concourse? Let none of those who eat the holy Passover [of the Eucharist] pay any attention to Egypt [the vanity of this world], but father to heaven, to the Jerusalem which is above.’

Scripture Reading for the Coming Week 
24/3/24, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

"This is the cause of all evils: the ignorance of the Scriptures. We go into battle without arms, and how ought we to come off safe?" -St. John Chrysostom, Homily IX on Colossians.

In order to help increase the general knowledge of scripture in our parish family we present here for your edification the scripture readings for the coming week. At least one Gospel Reading and one Epistle reading are assigned for each day of the year (although during Great Lent the readings are from the Old Testament). Hearing or reading only those readings appointed for Sunday merely scratches the surface of the great spiritual wealth that the scriptures provide us. Some of the readings are easily understandable – others are less so. As Orthodox Christians we do not make private interpretation of scripture, but rather consult the fathers of the Church for their explanations to aid us in our understanding. Those wishing to have access to such explanations are asked to contact Fr. Gregory or inquire in the kiosk for further reading in this regard. Bibles may also be acquired in the kiosk.

Monday: Isaiah 4:2-6;5:1-17, Genesis 3:21-4:7, Proverbs 3:34-4:22
Tuesday: Isaiah 5:7-16, Genesis 4:8-15, Proverbs 5:1-15
Wednesday: Isaiah 5:16-25, Genesis 4:16-26, Proverbs 5:15-6:3
Thursday: Isaiah 6:1-12, Genesis 5:1-24, Proverbs 6:3-20
Friday: Isaiah 7:1-14, Genesis 5:32-6:8, Proverbs 6:20-7:1
Saturday: Hebrews 3:12-16 & Mark 1:35-44

Понедельник: Исаии 4:2-6;5:1-17, Бытия 3:21-4:7, Причти 3:34-4:22
Вторник: Исаии5:7-16, Бытия 4:8-15, Причти 5:1-15
Среда: Исаии 5:16-25, Бытия 4:16-26, Причти 5:15-6:3
Четверг: Исаии 6:1-12, Бытия 5:1-24, Причти 6:3-20
Пятница: Исаии 7:1-14, Бытия 5:32-6:8, Причти 6:20-7:1
Суббота: Евр. 3:12-16 & от Марка 1:35-44

Please find below several very nice articles on how to read the scripture from an Orthodox point of view.
