Holy Ascension of Christ

It is the Day of Resurrection!

Let us be radiant, O people!

Pascha! The Lord's Pascha!

For from death to life, and from earth to heaven,

Christ our God has brought us, as we sing a hymn of victory!

From St Romanos the Melodist - On the Resurrection I

Thank you to all who help prepare, set up, clean-up, and make treats for our parish meals and feasts! Our fellowship is important, edifying, and enjoyable!

Glory to God for all things!

We are truly grateful to all for your daily and weekly prayers and labor for our church and community. Thank you to all who helped prepare our church and grounds for the Feast of Feasts!
