Welcome to all those who are visiting with us today. If you have questions about our church, please speak to one of the clergy. We hope you will be with us again soon.

For services of the church you may speak with the following clergy: All who have questions or wish to learn more about the Orthodox Faith should also speak with Father John Hanson. Any who wish to schedule baptisms or weddings should speak with Father John Townsend or Father Steven Ritter. If you wish to ask about membership in the church or if you wish to donate an item to the church, please speak with Father Deacon Zachary Rose. If you wish to schedule a Memorial Service for the departed, a Moleben for a special need, or a House Blessing, please speak with either Father John Townsend or Father Steven Ritter.

This is the Fourth Week of the Great Fast. On Wednesday, March 10^th, we will serve Matins at 10:00 AM. Hours and Confessions will continue at 5:00 PM. The Divine Liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts will be celebrated at 7:00 PM. The Mystery of Holy Unction will be celebrated on Friday, March 12^th, at 7:00 PM. Saturday, March 13^th, is a Memorial Saturday. You may leave names on a blue list writing at the top “Memorial Saturday.”

The Mystery of Holy Unction will be celebrated in our parish this Friday, March 12^th. To receive this holy mystery of healing of soul and body it is necessary to be an Orthodox Christian and to have made confession within the past week. Confessions will be heard starting at 5:30 PM on Friday before the beginning of the service. Plan to confess the weekend before or come as early as possible on March 12^th. It is not necessary to fast all day before this mystery, but we should not eat a meal immediately before it to keep our souls open to the great grace of God poured out at this mystery.

Those who wish to commune at the Presanctified Liturgy beginning at 7:00 PM should if at all possible fast from midnight the night before from all food, drink, and, of course, smoking. If you wish to request a moderation of this fast, speak to your spiritual father.

Our parish will host Vespers for the Atlanta area Orthodox parishes next Sunday, March 14^th. Vespers will begin at 6:00 PM and will be followed by a meal provided by our parish. Please bring a Lenten dessert. The meal will be prepared by Nicholas Stallworth. Plan to attend.

Our Patronal Feast Day is Sunday March 21^st. Bishop George plans to be with us for the vigil on Saturday, March 20^th, and for the Divine Liturgy on Sunday, March 21^st.
