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. |

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

Christ's Entry into Jerusalem Known as Palm
Sunday
is one of the Great Feasts of the Orthodox Church. As Christ
makes His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, His divine kingdom on
Earth is proclaimed under the branches of the palm tree.
Troparion:
By raising Lazarus from the dead before Thy passion, Thou didst
confirm the universal Resurrection, O Christ God! Like the children
with the palms of victory, We cry out to Thee, O Vanquisher of death;
Hosanna in the Highest! Blessed is He that comes in the Name of
the Lord!
Kontakion:
Sitting on Thy throne in heaven, Carried on a foal on earth, O Christ
God! Accept the praise of angels and the songs of children who sing:
Blessed is He that comes to recall Adam!

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!

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

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

"I cannot express to you enough how vital
your generous gift of support to IOCC's Hurricane
Harvey Response Fund has been. As the water receded,
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
your gifts and for your prayers. Together, we will
help the region rebound."
