Church School

After every Sunday Liturgy children can learn the basics of our Orthodox Faith and to read and write Cyrillic. We have 16 students in the parish school with kids ages between 4 and 14. In our parish we have more than forty children of that ago. If your children are not attending the school yet, please enroll them so they can learn about their heritage and faith.

Parish Assembly

Regular Annual Parish assembly will take place on Sunday December the 28th ay 11 am. We are inviting all of our parishers. The right to vote and be chosen belongs only to the parishioners in good standing. Those are the ones who regularly partake in the Holy Communion and take care of their financial obligations towards the church.

In December (25th through 27th) we have our 6th consecutive winster camp for the children from Orthodox faith families in Atlanta, GA. Contact the priest for more information.

Hristos voskrese!! Vaistinu voskrese!

We had a wonderful Easter service leading by Fr Dragan in the newly build church. It started at 4 am. The choir was singing holiday songs and troparies. When the procession went outside, the rain had stopped! The congregation sings a hymn of rejoicing, and a procession led by the banner of Resurrection encircles the church perimeters three times while the worshipers carry lit candles. We were really blessed with great prayers. Many people came to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. People received the Holy Communion. Then painted eggs were blessed. Russians also brought tradition baked kulich for a blessing. We shared food and happiness in Christ!

Here are some pictures from Sunday Easter service. Pictures © Natalia Tuchina.
