The
Transfiguration of Our Lord
|
| His
face shone like the sun, and His garments became white as snow.
A bright cloud overshadowed them and a voice from the cloud
said, "This is my Beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased;
listen to Him". When the disciples heard this, they fell
on their faces with awe. But Jesus came and touched them saying,
"rise, and have no fear". (Matthew 17) |

Our
Mission:
To follow Christ’s commandment to “go therefore
and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that [He has]
commanded…”
Our Vision:
To be disciples of Jesus Christ who understand and embrace
the Apostolic Faith in our American context, through sacramental
communion with God and one another, for the life of the
world. |

A
Note About Holy Communion - The Eucharist is served
to members of the Orthodox Church who have made proper
preparation through prayer, fasting and recent confession
and who are at peace with their neighbors. If you have
any questions, please see Father Patrick after the Liturgy.

| Dormition
of the Theotokos |
|
The Falling Asleep of the
Most-Holy Theotokos
The Dormition, or falling asleep of the Theotokos, is one of the
great Feasts of the Orthodox Church. It proclaims that the Theotokos
has been taken by God into the heavenly kingdom of Jesus Christ,
in complete fullness of her spiritual and bodily existence.
The Dormition is celebrated on August 15, and is preceded by fourteen
days of strict fasting, only with the exception of the Holy Transfiguration
of Christ, which is August 6. The falling asleep of the Virgin Mary
is the commemoration of the death, resurrection and glorification
of the Most-Holy Mother of Jesus Christ. Leavetaking is August 23.

Our
2018 St Nicholas Fund
Over the last two months our St Nicholas Fund
has helped a single mother with two teenage children pay her
bills and avoid homelessness.
It has also provided toiletries and reading materials to an
inmate in a state correctional facility who is seeking God
in the Orthodox faith.
God bless you for your offering of mercy!

2017
Angel Giving Tree Thank You!
 |
Once again, the parishioners of Holy Transfiguration showed
their enthusiasm and generous support of the families of
Wake County in our 2017 Christmas Ministry Project!
After church on Sunday, December 10th, we delivered your
many Christmas gifts to the four needy families which our
church had sponsored. These recipient families were so overwhelmed
and grateful for our kindness...many were speechless. Many
hugs were exchanged!
I just wish all of our parishioners could have seen the
warmth and gratitude these families showed toward our parish,
as we brought your gifts into their homes.
THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU …
AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES WITH A JOYOUS NATIVITY!

Holy Transfiguration Church Raleigh-Durham, NC is honored to have
our photograph featured on the cover of the 2016 OCA Desk Calendar.
The calendar’s theme is “Facing Forward As We Expand The
Mission".
In the year 2000, we started a Mission church and by 2009, we were
able to purchase land and our first church building. Three years later
in 2012, our Mission was elevated to Full Parish Status. As we continue
to expand and gain more members, we will soon outgrow our present
facility.
In 2015, Holy Transfiguration Church purchased land in North Raleigh
which will be the home of our future church building. The photo on
the cover of the 2016 OCA Calendar shows many of our members on the
day the cross was planted and the new land was blessed. We are continuing
to "Expand the Mission" as many Parishes before us have
done.
