Teaching Divine LiturgyOn Sunday, February 7, 2010, Father Demetri asked that we "come, see and learn!" Father Demetri explained and taught the beauty of The Divine Liturgy to the faithful of St. Nicholas and visitors. Photos and hi-definition video, to follow.
Apokriatiko Glendi and Family NightMany thanks to all those who made the Apokriatiko Glendi and Family Night on Saturday February 6, 2010 such an enjoyable evening!
St. Nicholas Haitian ReliefWe are pleased to announce that the special collection on January 17 yielded $770 towards the relief efforts for the disaster in Haiti. And on Friday January 22, in place of Family Night, our community assembled 349 Hygiene Kits thanks to the generosity of the St. Nicholas family. The final tally of kits prepared by our community is 566! I ask that you continue to pray for the people in Haiti and that we may show the love of our Lord through our support! God bless, Fr. Demetri
Prayer requestOn Sunday morning, January 10, Jamil Samara, one of our Holy Cross community members and Webmaster for our archdiocese website (http://www.goarch.org) underwent emergency surgery for an unexpected and very serious condition. He has undergone additional surgeries since then and remains critically ill. Jamil is also responsible for the training of your current (and previous!) webmaster and for the site you are visiting now. Please intercede in prayer on Jamil's behalf and for those who are caring for him. Update: Through prayer and intercession, Jamil has improved! Please continue to pray for Jamil's recovery.
Welcome to St. Nicholas!
We welcome you to worship with us, whether you are an Orthodox Christian or this is your first visit to an Orthodox Church. Although Holy Communion and other Sacraments are offered only to baptized and chrismated (confirmed) Orthodox Christians, all are invited to receive the antidoron (blessed bread) from Father Demetri at the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy. The antidoron is not sacramental, but is reminiscent of the agape feast that followed worship in the ancient Christian Church. After the Divine Liturgy, please join us in our newly renovated Church Hall for fellowship and refreshments. For those interested in learning more about the Orthodox Christian faith, please feel free to speak with Fr. Demetri after the service.
