On the first four Fridays of Great Lent, according to the current Constantinopolitan practice, we chant the Service of the Salutations to the Theotokos at Small Compline. In the evening, we read Small Compline through the Creed, and then on the Fifth Friday, we chant the Canon of the Akathist in its entirety.
Fr. George will join Fr. Michael Fry at All Saints Anglican Church and other local clergy and reflect on the Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross. All of our parishioners are invited to join us.
During our upcoming Lenten Wednesdays that begin March 20th, we will offer the 9th Hour Service at 8:00 a.m., followed by the Presanctifiec Liturgy at 8:20 a.m., with the aim of finishing close to 9:30 a.m. for those who need to depart for work. For everyone else, Fr. George is offering a "Lenten Renewal Series" that includes a special textbook aimed at reminding us that God never abandons His people.
