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.

 O
Cave, prepare yourself to receive the Mother who bears Christ within
her womb. O Manger, receive the Word Who destroyed the sins of all.
O Shepherds, keep watch and then bear witness to the awesome wonder.
O Magi, now come and bring your gifts of gold, frankincense, and
myrrh to the King.
For the Lord has appeared from a virgin Mother; yet she bowed to
Him as a servant and spoke to Him within her bosom, saying: How
were You conceived in me? How did You grow in me, O my God and Savior?

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!

to you and your parish for all of the items you donated
to the

Thank you so much again and have a great day."

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!

assessments have determined that the storm damaged
at least 200,000 homes and destroyed more than 12,700
others in the area. With your support, IOCC has
been on the ground and responding... Thank you for
