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. |

| The
Elevation of the Life-Giving Cross |
|
 The
Elevation or Exaltation of the Holy Cross, is one of the Great
Feasts of the Orthodox Church. Empress Helen, the mother of
St Constantine the Great, found the Cross on Golgotha in 326
AD. The Cross of Christ was found with the two crosses used
to crucify the thieves on either side of Jesus. The "Jesus
of Nazareth, King of the Jews" sign also lay among the
three crosses.
In order to determine which one was the True Cross, a sick
woman was told to kiss each cross. The woman kissed the first
two crosses and nothing happened. When the ailing woman kissed
the True Cross, she was immediately made well. At that time,
a funeral procession was passing that way. The body of the
dead man was placed on each cross, and when it was placed
on the True Cross, the dead man came to life - thus the name
the “Life-Giving” Cross. The Life-Giving Cross gives
life not only to that man, but to each person who believes
in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross, and His All-glorious
three day Resurrection.

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!
