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.

| Sunday
of Pentecost - May 27 |
|
|
In the Church's annual liturgical cycle, Pentecost is "the
last and great day". It is the celebration by the Church
of the coming of the Holy Spirit as the end, the achievement
and fulfillment of the entire history of salvation.
For the same reason, it is also the celebration of the beginning.
It is the "birthday" of the Church as the presence
among us of the Holy Spirit, of the new life in Christ, of
grace, knowledge, adoption to God and holiness. "Let
us celebrate Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit, the
appointed day of promise, and the fulfillment of hope, the
mystery which is as great as it is precious."
In the Gospel reading (John 20:19-23) the Feast is interpreted
to us as the Feast of the Church, of her divine nature, power
and authority. The Lord sends His disciples into the world,
as He Himself was sent by His Father.

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!

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."

Haven
House Back to School Drive :
Thanks to everyone who
brought in items for Haven House's Back to School event!
Our collection was extensive,
and barely fit in one vehicle to take over.
The items were all blessed and prayed over before being dropped
off for the event. Please continue to pray for the students
who will be using the items as the school year begins!

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.
