WONDERFUL VISITS!
Thank you Metropolitan Serapion and Bishop Kyrillos for visiting us this weekend! His Eminence Metropolitan Serapion visited us for vespers and St. Mary Veneration praises. He also gave us a wonderful sermon which is available on youtube! His Grace Bishop Kyrillos visited us on Sunday where he also helped St. Basil to appoint our new church board!
New Church Board!
On Sunday, His Grace Bishop Kyrillos presented the six names for the new board after presenting the names to the congregation which unanimously voted in favor of the list of names! The list was ratified and approved by His Eminence Metropolitan Serapion this week.
The new board is tasked with guiding the financial and administrative responsibilities for the church as well as setting strategic goals such as a new church location. Please support this board with your prayers, recommendations, and help if called upon! God bless them to perform the work of the church board to the Glory of His name!
