CHURCH COUNCIL MEETING: The regular monthly meeting will be held TODAY during “Coffee and…” in the parish hall. Council members are requested to make every effort to attend this meeting.
LENTEN SERVICES will be offered every day this coming 1st week of the Great Lent. This is a special time of the year for every Christian. It calls for a renewed commitment to a more vigorous spiritual life. Try to attend as many of the services as you possibly can. Please, refer to the SCHEDULE OF LENTEN services.
