Pascha to Pentecost and Beyond

May 12, 2017 Featured
Fr. Justin shares with the VCS kids about the Apostles Peter & Paul

As Paschaltide continues, we look forward to the Great Feast of Pentecost, which marks a beginning of sorts to “summertime” here in our parish. For our parish community, there are a number of much-loved celebrations and events connected with this time of year:

  • 9am Sunday School wraps up on Sunday May 21 (with a special final session at 9am Sunday, May 28, as Fr. Justin serves the pre-Liturgy service known as Proskomedia in the nave for all to see)
  • Special Memorial Day Prayers for Fallen Soldiers on Sunday, May 28
  • The celebration of the Great Feasts of Ascension (May 24/25) and Pentecost (June 3/4) complete with our annual “Tongues of Fire” Chili Cookoff on Pentecost Day
  • Our Annual Pan-Orthodox Vacation Church School (hosted this year by Holy Mother Greek Orthodox Church, June 5-9, 9am to noon–registration info now online!)
  • The Feasts of All Saints and All Saints of North America, the Apostles’ Fast, and the Feast of Ss. Peter & Paul
  • Youth Group Annual Hike to the Red River Gorge, June 11Fr. Cosmin blesses the icons the kids prepared as part of Vacation Church School 2016
  • and many more events (see our calendar for more detailed information…)
