The first half of August in the Orthodox Church (Aug. 1-14) is set aside as a special season of fasting and reflection. The two-week Dormition Fast precedes the Great Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos, which we celebrate on August 15 every year. This season of fasting is punctuated not only with several important festal remembrances, but also with special services recalling the testimony of the Virgin Mary as the first Christian! In addition, the entire month of August is a time of transition as we move from summertime into the “school year.”
We invite you to visit our parish in person. We look forward to greeting you for 
our Sunday Liturgy, our fellowship meal following Liturgy, and at other parish events. Also, feel free to watch our services and weekly Christian Education classes online. See our online calendar here and you can check out our monthly August calendar to the right. God bless you and we look forward to welcoming you!
And enjoy parish photos (below) from parish events earlier in the suimmertime.
