MY DEAR ONES, HAPPY HOLIDAY! THANK YOU ALL!

Last weekend our Parish was met with a triple Holiday: the arrival of our Bishop Nicholas, Sunday and, of course, the stay of the holy Kursk Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos with us!

And many thanks to everyone! It is simply impossible to describe in words what a special great joy, prayer, peace, unity there was in these days!

On Saturday Vladyka Nicholas and we all celebrated a solemn All-Night Vigil, and on Sunday we celebrated the most joyful Divine Liturgy! Then there was a joint photo, a wonderful meal, the joy of communication and the blessing of the Archpastor and the miraculous image of the Most Holy Lady.

The church is full of people, a huge number of parishioners, who lit each other's hearts with joy and love! A huge number of participants!

I have received many warm words from you dear ones, thank you very much! Together, we expressed our gratitude for the visit to Vladyka and presented him with a bishop's Panagia with the image of the Holy Trinity.

In general, there are many more words to say, but the most important thing is that we have each other and Christ is in our midst.

And, of course, I say thank you again to those who worked hard, organizing the meeting of the Bishop, and the meal, and preparing the temple, who sacrificing money, and who praying.

I once again convey to everyone the blessing of our Bishop Nicholas. God bless you and, of course, take care of each other.

With love in Christ,

rector hieromonk Nikon

 

CHRIST IS RISEN!!!

The whole mystery and joy of the world and eternity in a two words. May the Risen God touch your hearts with Easter joy, revealing joy, love, hope and immortality.

Christ is risen! Truly He is Risen!

Consecration of Easter Cakes. New Church Store

Dear friends!
 
We are already familiar with the schedule for Holy Week and it is in the public domain — the amazing and trembling divine services of the Passion of Christ will begin on Thursday morning. And now it's time to say about the no less joyful and expected part of the Easter celebrations — the consecration of cakes, eggs and festive baskets. 
 
We will consecrate everything with a special Easter rite three times and this year without an appointment:
- on Holy Saturday after the Divine Liturgy (which begins at 9.30) and until 3.00 pm.
- after the night Easter services (which start at 11.00 pm on Saturday night)
- on the very day of the Bright Resurrection of Christ from 1.00 pm to 3.00 pm
 
And, dear ones, we have the great joy!
Finally in our church there is a full-fledged and beautiful church store! With wonderful icons, prayer books for children and adults, as well as adult and children's spiritual literature (even coloring books) and small church souvenirs. In this email, I attach photos!
 
In America, of course, it is not so difficult to order an icon or a book somewhere, but there are problems with the usual small wishes — car icons, body crosses and strings, christening shirts for the baby, etc. Now we have it!
And it is much more pleasant, of course, when something from the spiritual does not need to be ordered, but can be purchased in the native temple. 
 
The church store is already open and you will already see everything at the services of Holy Week, and at Easter and when you come to consecrate the cakes.
 
Have a peaceful days, dear ones. Just a little and our soul will soar above everything, supported by the wings of joy and hope for the Risen Savior!
 
With love in the Lord and prayer for you,
rector hieromonk Nikon
