Pictures from the Feast of Transfiguration this past Sunday. “On the Feast of the Transfiguration we offer the first fruits to God that they may be blessed, and so that those who offer them and partake of them may attain joy and forgiveness. Just as these fruits grow and ripen under the rays of the summer sun, so may the spiritual fruits of faith and love increase and mature in us by the light of God’s grace.” [Fr Vassilios Papavassiliou, Meditations for the Twelve Great Feasts] Also on this day our choir director, Andrew Miketzuk, Ludmila Pogrebinsky, and Marie Stefanelli celebrated their birthday. Joyous Feast to all! Happy birthday and many years!

On Sunday, September 10th, before the Liturgy, Father Aleksey met with the Sunday School children and teachers in the Atrium, where they began the school year with a prayer.
During the Liturgy we prayed for the victims of the hurricanes in Florida, Texas, and the Caribbean Islands, and for peace in our God-protected nation. After the Liturgy, we prayed for all of our students and teachers for blessed beginning of the new school year. Father encouraged to apply the knowledge they receive during this year to their Christian faith, and apply their Christian faith to the knowledge they receive. And the teachers were reminded that they have an opportunity to share Christ with their students and to educate the next generation of great thinkers. This week Ioann and Katerina, priest's kids, celebrate their 7th birthday, while Father Aleksey and Matushka Natallia celebrate their 9th anniversary. |
