"Today is hung upon the Cross He Who suspended the earth upon the waters." Today we remember Jesus being nailed to the Cross.  His sacrifice was done once and for all.  But in some ways, His crucifixions continue.

Second Bridegroom Service Message

4/13/2020

 
Picture
From Fr. Alex Radulescu - Tonight’s service (which is actually the Orthros service of Tuesday) brings to mind the idea of preparedness. And this idea comes from the Scripture readings of the day (Tuesday) taken from Matthew 24:36-51; 25:1-46; 26:1-2.

First Bridegroom Service Message

4/12/2020

 
From Fr. Nick Kotsis - We just participated in the first Bridegroom Service of Holy Week.  The service tonight is really the Orthros for Holy Monday (remember, during Holy Week, the services are “switched” to show anticipation for the next day – the Orthros services are in the evening, and the Vespers services are in the morning).

6th Friday of Lent Message

4/10/2020

 
From Fr. Nick Kotsis - My mother’s sister and her three children would come up to visit the family from San Antonio, Texas every summer.  Each of our three cousins matched us in age.  Since they would spend nearly the whole summer up here, we grew particularly close to them, and we still are.  We couldn’t wait until school was over because we knew that our cousins were just days away from coming up.

6th Thursday of Lent Message

4/9/2020

 
From Fr. Alex Radulescu - The Book of Genesis 46:1-7 recounts the travel preparations Jacob (Israel) took to ensure the survival of his family.  His son, Joseph, was in Egypt by now and became Pharaoh’s right hand.  But remember how Joseph was sold by his own brothers (betrayal) and taken to Egypt as a slave. In spite of that, God helped Him become so famous there, that the ruler of that country had total confidence in him and gave him command over the food supply and other strategic assets.

Part of today’s Old Testament reading comes from the Prophecy of Isaiah (9b-11):
