Joyous Feastday! It's Lazarus Saturday in the Orthodox Church, and we celebrate the Lord's raising of Lazarus "the four days dead" leading into the Lord's triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Our community is preparing for the holy days ahead with our annual Lazarus Saturday work day -- always a fun day to work together and get to know one another better as we get the grounds and buildings ready for Palm Sunday, Holy Week, and Holy Pascha. Festive Palm Sunday services begin with Vespers this evening at 5 p.m. Matins will begin at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow, with Divine Liturgy at 10 a.m. Glory to God for all things!

Our next service is Friday evening, our final Presanctified Liturgy, which begins the 11-day marathon of daily services culminating in Pascha and Bright Monday. Glory to God for all things!
