+Synaxis of the Archangel Gabriel Greetings in Christ! This week our schedule is as usual during Lent. Wednesday @ 6pm: Lenten Daily Vespers Friday @ 6pm: Little Compline w/Akathist Hymn / salutations Presanctified Liturgy will follow. Saturday @ 6pm: Great Vespers Sunday @ ~8:45am: Sunday Orthros, Divine Liturgy of St Basil will follow As Father has mentioned, please see Hannah about making a donation toward the flowers we will have for Holy Week. If you would like to make a donation in the name of a loved one as a memorial, this is a particularly appropriate opportunity! This weekend we commemorate the Holy Cross with a brief service of veneration - probably at the end of Liturgy - we will even do prostrations this Sunday as we sing Before Thy Cross (this is one of the exceptions to the prohibition of prostrations on Sundays). We remember the life-giving Cross as a reminder of Christ's suffering for our salvation, but we also remember it to remind us that we all must take up our own cross and follow Christ. More on the blessed Cross and why we remember it on the Third Sunday of Lent here: https://holycrossoca.org/orthodoxy/lent/hc303cross.html Father will no doubt have much more to say at all of our services this weekend! Don't miss out! have a blessed week, Sdn Andrew

Temperatures are rising and will continue to rise, so I figure there's no need to cancel church. We'll also do chant and choir practice before and after vespers if anyone can be there for it. Practice starts at 5pm. Obviously if your roads are dangerous, then don't venture out! Be safe!

This Sunday, February 3, not only will we be blessed with a priest again to serve Liturgy, but directly afterwards we will have our Annual Parish Genral Assembly meeting. ☦ Important information and updates pertaining to all aspects of our parish will be presented. If you would like to be involved in and educated on the status our growing church, please attend! Everyone is welcome! ⛪

Most of the main roads seem to be fine, so we'll pray Vespers this evening, but do be careful and cautious - if your road is covered, then conditions will only worsen after the sun goes down!
