In giving birth, you preserved your virginity, in falling asleep you did not forsake the world, O Theotokos. You were translated to life, O Mother of Life, and by your prayers you deliver our souls from death.”

Services for the Dormition of the Theotokos: Tonight, Vigil at 6:30pm Tomorrow, Divine Liturgy at 9:30am “The Lord and God of all gave you the things above nature as your portion. For just as He kept you virgin in your childbearing, so He preserved your body incorrupt in the tomb; and He glorified you by a divine translation, showing you the honor of a Son to His Mother!

Listen and show to your kids!

Congratulations and Many Years to Nathaniel Sawchak and Alexis Moulton. Both of these young men have been awarded a $1000 college scholarship from the Eastern Orthodox Committee on Scouting. This past Sunday, Fr. Tim read a letter from EOCS commending both of them and our parish on the almost unprecedented event that two of the national scholarships were awarded to graduating seniors from the same parish. They both are Eagle Scouts, recipients of the Orthodox Alpha Omega scout award, accomplished students, and active members of our parish community, especially in their roles in the choir and as altar servers. Nate plans to attend the University of Kansas and Lex will attend Arizona State University. We are delighted to celebrate these two good friends in their accomplishments!

This Week at Holy Trinity (June 24-30) - https://mailchi.mp/1d5574bc2be8/this-week-at-holy-trinity-june-24-30

Our final day of Vacation Church School was all about fish, whales, and water! We learned about Jonah and the Whale and about St Brendan the Navigator, a monk who sailed from the British Isles to North America in the 6th century, almost 1000 years before Columbus! A whale he met on the journey saved one of his monks who fell overboard! Then our Doves class completed a beautiful project featuring Jonah’s whale, and we all enjoyed lots of water play and ice cream sandwiches. Thank you to the many people who made this joyous week possible! We hosted about two dozen children from five area parishes and made many new friendships while we learned together!

On your way to church tonight, or as you make your final preparations to celebrate Pascha, take a moment to listen to these powerful words from St. Epiphanios (+403)

O, who loves Nicholas the saintly . . .

Christ is risen! (And let it snow!)

Let all mortal flesh keep silent, pondering nothing earthly-minded, for the King of kings, and the Lord of lords, comes to be slain, to give Himself as food to the faithful.

Gospel for Sunday, October 22: Luke 16:19-31 (The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus)

Clergy and parishioners of Holy Trinity Orthodox Church recently came together to share stories of their personal faith journeys. This is just a small sampling of the larger history of not only our parish, but the history of Orthodox Christianity in the Kansas City area. Our appreciation to Greg Sheffer for his work producing this video, which debuted at our Centennial Gala on October 8th, 2017.

What a weekend! Every event was nothing short of spectacular! Of course, the most important of these was the celebration of the Divine Liturgy with His Grace, Bishop Paul. I don't think anyone took video at the Gala, so I took a moment to record my remarks from yesterday evening. #htoc100

Gospel for October 1: Luke 6:31-36

Sunday, September 24 Gospel: Luke 5:1-11. We will take a collection for our Diocesan seminarians at the conclusion of the Liturgy.
