SHARE A MEAL WITH US AFTER LITURGY THIS SUNDAY
ONE: NEW CHURCH BUILDING! WHAT TO DO NEXT?
For those who haven’t had a chance to read the communication regarding the new church proposal please do so at THIS LINK. People are excited! Fr. Gregory is getting lots of positive feedback. And people are asking good questions. And especially asking for clear direction: what do we need to do now to make this new church a reality? We are ALL excited! We will have clear directions about how to get this done in the coming week. Exactly what we are asking you to do. With numbers, dates, and prayers. Let’s continue to celebrate the great news that we are moving forward, and get ready to act beginning next week!
TWO: MOTHER MARIA VISITS FROM BETHANY NOVEMBER 15
We are pleased to announce that we will host Mother Maria, Superior of the Bethany Girls School (just outside Jerusalem) on Saturday, November 15 following the DIVINE LITURGY & PANNYKHIDA that day. Please spread the word about this really unique opportunity to hear from an Orthodox Christian living in the Holy Land in these difficult days, to learn about the life of the school, and more! A free will offering will be taken in support of the Bethany School. Those who would like to make a separate donation to support the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in the Holy Land are welcome to do so as well – just mark your gift “REM” to make sure it goes to the right place.
