A New Website & New Year

January 11, 2024 Featured

As we head deeper into 2024, our parish community welcomes you to our new virtual “front door,” www.bluegrassorthodox.org. We are glad you have found us and we invite you to visit us. You can learn more about visiting St. Athanasius here. You can also take a peek inside our church by checking our our parish YouTube channel. Our calendar for January 2024 is below (and full online calendar can be found here.) During the month of January, Orthodox believers traditionally invite the parish priest over to their homes for the annual Epiphany Houseblessing. You can sign-up for this home visit using this online link for Houseblessings. The Houseblessing Service can be found here.

We also welcome those who are in (or close to) Madison County to consider a visit our St. Nina Mission, which helps extend the reach of the Orthodox Faith along the I-75 corridor and Wilderness Trail. Among the regular services and events you’ll generally find each week at our church in Nicholasville (just minutes south from Lexington) are:

  • 630pm Saturday Evening Service (Cathedral Vigil or Great Vespers)
    • 730pm Saturday Confessions following the evening service
  • 930am Sunday Liturgy with Fellowship Hour following
    • 12-1230pm Sunday Bread Ministry (free distribution of bread/foods )
  • 630pm Wednesday Vespers
    • 720-820pm Wednesday Christian Education: Catechesis & Learning
  • other services, especially Molebens and Akathists, according to the calendar

Below is a collection of photos from December 2023 and early January 2024–showing the full range of life in our parish. We hope these photos and the depth of our Faith inspire you to visit us during this month.
