My prayers are with you all!
How great to be together with a big gathering at our most recent Liturgy.

Through the prayers of St. Moses and all the saints, may love for God grow in our hearts with simplicity, and may we be kind and mercy-filled LIGHTS for His holy Orthodox Church.

Fr. David Morrison

December 3-4 services Saturday (6:30 pm) and Sunday (9:00 am)

*Nativity fast
The cycle starts with a fast of forty days that precedes the feast. It is called the Nativity fast or Advent. For the faithful, it is a time to purify both soul and body to enter properly into and partake of the great spiritual reality of Christ's Coming, much like the preparation for the fast of the Lord's Resurrection.

The beginning of the fast on November 15 is not liturgically marked by any hymns, but five days later, on the eve of the Feast of the Presentation of the Theotokos, we hear the first announcement from the nine "Irmoi" of the Christmas Canon: "Christ is born, glorify Him!"
