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.

| Last
Judgment, Meatfare Sunday - March 7 |
|
 "It
is love again that constitutes the theme of Meatfare
Sunday. The Gospel lesson for this day is Christ's parable
of the Last Judgment (Matt. 25:31-46). When Christ comes
to judge us, what will be the criterion of His judgment?
The parable answers: love-- not a mere humanitarian
concern for abstract justice and the anonymous "poor",
but concrete and personal love for the human person,
any human person, that God makes me encounter in my
life .... " (From "Great Lent" by Father
Alexander Schmemann)
The Sunday of the Last Judgment or Meatfare
Sunday is the Sunday after the Prodigal Son and before
the Sunday of Forgiveness. This is the third week of
the pre-Lenten season of the Easter cycle in the Orthodox
Church. It is called Meatfare Sunday because it is the
last day before Easter that meat is eaten.

Angel Tree Project Thank You! |
 |
Dear
Fellow Parishioners,
Once again,
Holy Transfiguration participated in the Holiday Cheer
program, but this year our Angel Tree was virtual.
All gifts were ordered on line and mailed directly
to the recipients. We adopted two families in need
and they were very grateful.
Thank you to all who participated and hopefully, next
year we will be back to posting the angels and delivering
the gifts.
Sincerely, The Mary and Martha Sisterhood

2020 SOCKTOBER DRIVE
Each year, Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church participates
in the "Socktober" sock collection drive that is organized
within our local pan-Orthodox Christian community by Saint John
the Merciful Outreach Ministry.
As in previous years, socks for all ages and of all sizes were
donated and delivered to support our neighbors who are in need
of these, especially in time for the cold season.
Thank you to all who participated
in this act of service!

Our
Saint 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!
