Thy Glorious Resurrection: Renewing God’s House
In every generation, God’s people have to make sacrifices to see to it that what they have been left by previous generations is not only conserved, but improved upon. Twelve years ago, that meant installing a new organ, which now rings out every Sunday and more often too. In our time, it means new stained glass, air conditioning to make our church welcoming, and the start of a roof fund to make sure our church is protected from the elements. These are primal things: keeping the church safe from the elements is most necessary. Welcoming guests and making them comfortable is a biblical imperative. And windows, which allow us inside to see God and His Story, also allow others, who may never have considered entering this church, to see in.

This Month in Pascha Nostrum
January 2015
This year, the Epiphany is again on a week-night so our friends from other parishes who join us for these evening festivals should be back! Last year, of course, it was on a Sunday. Several important and unusual things happen on the Epiphany at the High Mass. The first is that gold, frankincense and myrrh are blessed at the Mass. These were the gifts of the Magi to the Christ Child. Gold shows forth his royal status as a King, frankincense his divinity and myrrh foreshadows his death and burial, and the sacrifice and passion leading up to it. Download >
