Information

-As a reminder, the tradition in our diocese is a fast of a minimum of 3 hours before receiving Communion at the Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts, or Vesperal Divine Liturgies. Also, the tradition is that Clean Monday is observed with a strict fast (no meat, fish, dairy, eggs), no matter how strictly one follows the fast during the other days of Lent.

-Also, please note: do NOT skip medications in order to receive Communion (and don't skip Communion because you had to take a medication)! Go ahead and take them! If you are supposed to eat something with the medication, you should do that as well--usually just a small amount is sufficient. (Some people with diabetes must eat a meal to maintain blood sugar levels--this is certainly acceptable.) If you have questions about this, please talk to Fr. Mark.

“Women of the Bible Speak” study starts on Saturday 3/8, at 4:30 in classroom by front door. Meeting is one hour and will be done in time for Great Vespers. Please read Judges 4: 17-23, and 5: 24-27. Hope to see you there.

Parish council members are: Jim Mitchell, president; Andrew Davidson, vice president, Linda Wiget, treasurer/financial secretary; Anthony Jula, secretary; Peter Shiptenko and Leslie Mitchell, auditors.

Updates

We are now owners of our own church building! The closing was Friday (February 28). There is work to be done to make it usable as an Orthodox Church, so we will not be moving right away. We will continue having services at our current location and plan to move at the end of April.

Congratulations to our new vice president, Andrew Davidson who will be filling out the remainder of Gary Zuder's term. Thanks to Gary for serving as the 1st VP of Holy Cross Church.

-2025 church calendars and pledge forms are available in the church vestibule and social room. If anyone would like one mailed to them, please contact Julie Hesse

Thank you! (Anyone not having completed a pledge form is still welcome, and encouraged, to do so!) The annual diocesan assessment is $84 for 2025.
