Lenten Potlucks Continue Our ever-popular Lenten Potlucks will continue following Salutations to the Theotokos. Please join us in The Oaks following services and bring your favorite Lenten (no meat or dairy) dish and your Orthodox friends. A question & answer session will also be conducted. This is a good opportunity for our younger families to get to know one another and to meet also those who have for many years been enjoying our Lenten Potluck after Paraclesis.
Archbishop Demetrios Offers Condolences on the Slaying of Coptic Orthodox Christians in Libya - Archdiocese to Participate in a Special Prayer Service His Eminence Metropolitan Gerasimos would like to make sure that all of you have read the Archdiocese Press Release on the slaying of Coptic Christians in Libya. This is a terrible tragedy and deserves turning our attention and prayers to our Coptic Orthodox Christian brothers and sisters in the Lord. His Eminence is urging that all clergy in the Metropolis, that have neighboring Coptic Orthodox churches or communities, seek out and participate in any memorial services they may be having these days. May the memories of these innocent victims be eternal! [more]

One of the themes of his presentations will focus on “Penitent Characters and the Character of Repentance in the Hymns of Lent and Holy Week.” His recently published book “First, Second and Third John” will also be available for purchase.
