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) |

The
Sunday of Orthodoxy
|
|
 In
the Eastern Orthodox Church, the first Sunday of Great Lent
is the Sunday of Orthodoxy or the Triumph of Orthodoxy and
Holy Icons. It is celebrated six Sundays before Pascha. Despite
the teaching about icons defined at the Seventh Ecumenical
Council in 787, the iconoclasts began to make trouble for
the Church.
Orthodoxy Sunday commemorates the final defeat of iconoclasm
and the restoration of the icons to the churches. After the
death of the last iconoclast emperor, his spouse Empress Theodora,
their son Michael and the Patriarch of Constantinople started
the process that finally brought peace to the Church. On that
first Sunday of Orthodoxy, all made a triumphal procession
from the Church of the Theotokos of Blachernae to Hagia Sophia,
restoring the icons to the church. For her restoration of
the icons, which ended the Byzantine Iconoclasm, Empress Theodora
is venerated as a saint in the Orthodox Church.

2018 Angel Tree Project Thank You!
|
Dear Fellow Parishioners,
In a time in our world where there is much need, all
of you were very generous to the families that we
were supporting for the Angel Tree Project. The three
families were so grateful for your wonderful generosity,
saying how much they appreciated your kindness.
All the gifts were delivered by December 17, insuring
a special Christmas for all. I wish all of you could
have shared in getting to know the members of the
families.
THANK YOU AGAIN AND MAY GOD
BLESS YOU IN THE COMING YEAR.
Jane Wright

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!
