Adult Education: Hardest Sayings In Matthew

Every book of Scripture contains certain phrases and passages that are difficult to explain or understand. Please join Fr. Ignatius on September 12th at 6 pm as he makes an exploration of select difficult-to-understand passages from the Gospel of St. Matthew. Topics to be discussed will include “new wine and old wineskins,” “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit,” and God as “not the God of the dead but of the living.”

Thank you! SOUP-er Sunday Success

We would like to extend a big Thank You for Making SOUP-er Sunday a success!

We are truly overwhelmed by the incredible support and generosity shown at our recent SOUP-er Sunday luncheon! Thanks to all of you who attended and contributed, we were able to raise an astounding $3,702 for Project Mexico! A significant step toward our $6,000 Matthew 25 drive goal this lent!

A special shoutout goes to our amazing Sunday school students (and parents/teachers) who not only crafted delicious soups but also served up smiles to all our guests. 🍲

We also want to extend a thank you to Wegman’s and Weiss for their invaluable support and contributions. Your partnership helped make this event a success.

Project Mexico is an Orthodox Christian charitable organization that operates in the vicinity of Tijuana, Mexico. Project Mexico operates a boy’s orphanage that helps raise around 25 orphaned or abandoned boys (at any given time). They also run an extensive homebuilding program to provide housing for some of the poorest and most vulnerable families in their area, as well as running a rescue orphanage for abandoned infants. It is our hope to raise at least $6000 this year to support Project Mexico, which is enough to feed all of the admittedly-voracious, mostly teenage boys for 6 weeks or to build one housing unit for a family in need.

If you are a native speaker of a language other than English, it may be possible to read it in that language. No chanting experience necessary, you are welcome to simply read the psalter aloud.
