"Rejoice, unwedded Bride!"
On August 18, 1988 our icon of the Theotokos on the iconostasis was found to be miraculously streaming myrrh. This was a great gift from God to our community to strengthen our faith and to encourage us in living faithful Christian lives.
Today, on the anniversary of this occasion, we plan to gather at 7pm in the church for an Akathist to the Theotokos. The Akathist, itself a long hymn, is a wonderful service of praise to the blessed Mary, the Mother of God, the one through whom the eternal Son of God came to us to save us. In this service we honor the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ and His Mother through whom this gift came to us and ask for her intercessions as we continue our Christian sojourn in this age.
We welcome you to this opportunity to gather, be encouraged in our lives of repentance, and to spend time together with our Lord and His Mother!
