Weekly Church Services:
Sunday 8:50 am Orthros and 10:00 am is Divine Liturgy Services. Sunday morning services begins with the morning prayer service, Orthros (meaning "daybreak"). The Gospel readings, and the litugical spirit of Matins reflects the joy of the Resurrection of Christ. Holy Communion in the Body and Blood of Christ is only for members of the Orthodox Church who have prepared themselves by prayer, fasting, and periodic Confession. Everyone, however, is invited to partake of the blessed bread which will be offered at the end of the service and which may also be offered to you by one of your neighbors at Communion time as a sign of hospitality and blessing. This is done during the Divine Liturgy service.
Wednesday Pre Communion Prayers (5:45 pm) and Divine Liturgy (6:00 pm) Services. Attending weekday evening Pre-Communion prayers and Divine Liturgy in the Orthodox Church offers a sacred pause from daily life, allowing the faithful to prepare their hearts through repentance and reflection. It deepens communion with Christ and the Church, sanctifies the week with grace, and reminds us that holiness is not reserved for Sundays alone—it’s a daily calling.
Fridays' Paraklesis Services at 6:00 pm. The word “paraklesis” has two different meanings. The first is consolation from which the Holy Spirit is called the “Paraclete” or “Consoler.” The second is “supplication” or “petition.” The Service of the Paraklesis to the Theotokos is made up of hymns of supplication to help us gain consolation and courage. It is a service that can be most beneficial in times of temptation, discouragement or sickness. The service focuses around our cry to the Mother of our Lord and Savior, “Most Holy Theotokos, save us!”
Saturday Great Vespers Service at 5:00 pm. The service of vespers is the beginning of the liturgical day. The word comes from the Greek "hespera" meaning "evening." The service is chanted in Byzantine tones and includes the beautiful hymns, "O Gladsome Light," and the "Song of Saint Simeon." All are welocme.
