 On Sunday June 23, 2024 the Orthodox Church Celebrated the most holy feast of Pentecost, the day of the Holy Trinity. In Nativity of Saint John the Baptist Church the feast was celebrated with Divine Liturgy followed by Great Vespers during which the kneeling prayers were read as is the tradition of the Orthodox Church. During the great Prokeimenon, flower petals were dispersed among the church from the choir loft, accompanying the words "You are God, Who alone works wonders." After service, the festivities continued with a Sunday School celebration to mark the end of the school year. The students were given gifts and certificates of completion. Letters of appreciation were given to parishioners and teachers that especially contributed to the life of the parish Sunday School during the academic year. After the celebration, the children enjoyed the summer weather outdoors as parishioners enjoyed fellowship at coffee hour. Pentecost 2024 Great Vespers |
