Orthodox Bible Study
How do Orthodox Christians receive the Holy Scriptures into their lives?
See this great article HERE.
Since the Bible contains the Word of God, we must treat it with great reverence. Thus the people always stand up when the Gospel is being read at the Liturgy; oaths are taken on the book of the Gospels; in the Liturgy the priest approaches the book of the Gospels with incense, and candles are carried before it. Every Christian or at least every family should have the Sacred Scriptures. (Father David Abramtsov).

Welcome to Our Parish!
Every Sunday we remember the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as we celebrate the Holy Divine Liturgy.
The word "Liturgy" means work of the people which means everyone participates through singing, praying, hearing the teaching, and opening our hearts to allow God's Grace to enter.
For those who have committed themselves to the Orthodox Faith (through Baptism and/or Chrismation) it also means, if prepared, the reception of Holy Communion.
Preparation includes the Sacrament of Confession (seven years and older) within the last two months, prayer, being on time for church, being at peace with others, attending the Divine Liturgy regularly, and fasting (no food or drink from midnight the night before).
If you are new, just visiting, or have any questions, please introduce yourself to Father Joseph. Please know that everyone is invited to venerate the Holy Gospel and receive the Holy Bread at the end of Liturgy. All are welcome to our Coffee Fellowship in the hall after Liturgy.
