PLEASE LOOK AROUND our church on Sunday morning, and if you see some new people, don’t hesitate to talk to them and welcome them. They are the guests in our Lord’s house and your house of worship, too. Do not be afraid of language barriers; the language of love is universal and comprehensible.
BECOMING ORTHODOX: While the Orthodox Church is the most ancient and authentic Christian denominations in the world, it is sometimes also the most misunderstood. The beliefs of the Orthodox Church and Her saving teachings are consistent through the ages without any additions/innovations (Catholicism) or subtractions/reformations (Protestantism):
We believe in the Holy Trinity, that God has revealed Himself to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit – a communion of knowledge, wisdom and love – has created us to share in that life.
We believe that both men and women were created by God in love and that everything God creates is good and created out of love. While we have the capacity for sin, the Church believes in the dignity of the human person above all else, as created in image and likeness of God Creator.
We also believe that goodness infuses all of God’s wondrous creation. All creation, made by God, reflects that goodness. As Orthodox see the world and its beauty, renewed by the Incarnation and Resurrection of the Son of God our Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe in real presence of Christ’s Body and Blood in the Holy Eucharist.
We believe in the active, sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit that enlivens our Church and us.
We believe in community and a living Church – believers are a part of the living Body of Christ and, as such, we are a reflection of the communal nature of the Trinity.
We believe that God loved His creation so much that He became human in the person of Jesus to walk among us and save us from our sins, death and devil.
We believe in Jesus’ bodily crucifixion, death and resurrection, and we hope that one day we will rise to new life with Him.
We believe in the communion/intercession of the saints – models of faith who help us and guide us in our daily lives.
We especially love the Most Holy Birth-Giver of God and Ever-Virgin Mary, as the Mother of all of us.
We believe in stewardship. Everything is given to us by God and our Christian responsibility is to share our time, talent and treasure with those around us. Becoming Orthodox today means joining an ancient, authentic Christian faith, deeply rooted in the teachings and traditions of the Church established by Christ Himself and His apostles, that is guided by grace of the Holy Spirit. Come and join us!
ЯК ОДЯГАТИСЯ: Ця тема викликає багато емоцій, що є абсолютно непотрібним. Якщо ми не впевнені, як одягатися до церкви, то подумаймо, чи одягнемо ми ту чи іншу річ на ділову зустріч де вирішуватиметься наше майбутнє. Ми ж не одягнемо туди шорти, в’єтнамки чи блузку на бретельках…
