OUR WEEKLY SUNDAY BULLETIN
“The Way of Life of Abba Zeno
“It was said of Abba Zeno, that from the outset, he never wished to receive anything from anyone at all. Those who brought him something came away hurt that he had not accepted anything. Others came to him, wanting to receive some token from a great old man, and he had nothing to give them, so they too came away hurt. The old man said, ‘What shall I do, since those who bring things are hurt just as much as those who wish to receive something? I know what seems right to me: when someone brings me something, I will accept it, and I will give it to anyone who asks me for something.’ So, he did that and was at peace and satisfied everyone. ”

Icon of Christ and Zacchaeus
In preparation for our upcoming Lenten season
adult catechism class
On Wednesdays at 6:30 PM, Fr. Deacon Trevor instructs an adult Catechism class. This will be held in the church. This is for older teenagers, young adults, and adults. We have snacks that we bring beforehand, so that all can enjoy and dine together, and we never want anyone to leave church hungry! All are welcome!
The eparchy has an Office of Religious Education. Their catechetical material is at the bottom of the home page of the eparchial website. This contains a great deal of information that can help you to instruct your children about Faith.
Potluck sundays
On the first Sunday of every month following the Divine Liturgy, our parish hosts a potluck. Everyone is invited, all who attend our parish, or who are simply visiting. No one shall leave our church hungry.
Our next Potluck will be, December 7th, following Divine Liturgy.
