the remaining eight (8) 2026 church calendars are available in Central City, with an additional three (3) going to Pine Hill. These are the last of the 40 calendars. One per family, please.
The modest display is lovely! Thank you for your contributions!
we need your help, cooperation, and participation in the following ways… • Please attend the Divine Services scheduled for the Nativity of Christ. There is no point in observing the Old Calendar if we are not going to keep the festivals! • The greeting for the Nativity of Christ is: Christ is Born! Glorify Him! In Slavonic, we say Христос раждается ! Cлавите Его! Christos Razdayestsya! Slavite Yego! • Please note that coffee social will follow liturgy on the Feast of the Nativity of Christ. We anticipate visitors, so please help us with refreshments—it is appreciated! • As the church hall will be in use for parishioners, family, and friends, please help us keep it clean and in good order—we need the space for social time, and it should make a good impression! • Weather considerations: as always, and in our part of the world, winter weather is unpredictable. We have cancelled services in the past, but only in extreme situations. Always pay attention to the website, as updates will be posted in a timely manner. We will celebrate the Nativity of Christ as planned, and (unless intentions changed) are expecting guests (clergy and laity). • Please help us care for our property: on several occasions, and during the week, our church hall was unlocked. If you are conducting business or maintenance, it should be cleared with Father Elijah, and the last person out needs to check the door. As it stands, an unlocked door is a major liability, especially with rising insurance costs. Thank you!
The OCA Department of Liturgical Music and Translations again offers its popular introductory online courses for the benefit of church singers and conductors.
