Here are a few pictures taken during the Divine Liturgy
of the Transfiguration:
And then on Sunday 23, Father jeremiah and Matushka Anna visited us:
You can listen here to Father Jeremiah’s homily on the Rich young man
(Matthew 19: 16-26)
As before any major event in our parish, we began with a day of cleaning on Saturday.
All was done with joy and quiet, so as not to disturb Mrs. Mallard, who decided this year to nest along the wall of our church!
The big event took place the following day, the Sunday of the Cross and the Feast of the Annunciation.
We had a celebration of gratitude for Father Jeremiah and Matushka Anna, who founded our parish and blessed it for many years. They are now on their way to a warmer climate.
Come this way to listen to Father Jeremiah’s homily, and here to watch the parish sing Many Years to Father and Matshuka.
And a Lenten meal followed:
Christ is Born, Glorify Him!
Pictures before Divine Liturgy:
Traditionally on this day, in lieu of sermon, we read the Nativity Epistles sent by our hierarchs. Please find here the text of those read today:
Father Jeremiah celebrated his last Divine Liturgy as our rector on December 27.
A heartfelt thank you, Father Jeremiah, for all your years of service as rector!
