January Newsletter

January 5, 2019

We begin the calendar year with the Feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord on Tuesday, January 1. Liturgy will be celebrated at 10:00am, preceded by Matins at 9:30 and followed by a pot-luck brunch and our parish tradition of games for all.

Since Epiphany falls on Sunday this year, we will have the Blessing of Water at Vespers on Saturday, January 5. Remember that house blessings will take place all during the season of Epiphany – until Saturday, February 23 – so please speak to Fr. Nicholas or Fr. Raphael to schedule yours.

Bible study on the Gospel of Mark will resume on January 2 and continue each Wednesday evening at 7:30pm. We conclude the evening with the service of Compline.
