Palm Making
On the Saturday of Lazarus, parishioners met after Divine Liturgy to prepare the palms for Palm Sunday.
“Tokens of Honor for our King”
Our Sunday School students prepared “Tokens of Honor for our King”. This is a tradition in our culture which will be practiced by our Orthodox children and their families as a life-long custom to “Honor our King” on Palm Sunday. Our children were excited and eager to learn the procedures of making Palm Crosses by the older children teaching the younger ones in addition to the guidance of our dedicated Sunday School teachers. After being blessed during our Palm Sunday Divine Liturgy, Father George will present each child with his/her personalized Palm Cross to be taken home as a daily remembrance of Our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Orthodoxy 101
Fr. George began his Orthodoxy 101 course, “Who we are and what do we believe?” It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about the development of the Church. His second part of the series, “Who we are and how do we worship?” will take place on Saturday, March 18th from 11am until 1pm. We hope you’ll come and take advantage of this great learning opportunity.
