Learn the Scriptures
Our next Bible Study will be held
on
Wednesday, August
6th - we will be studying the the 7th
and 8th Chapters of St. Luke's Gospel.
On the 1st and 3rd Wednesday evenings of each month, we
have been meeting in the Church Hall at 7:00pm, to read
and discuss portions of the Bible. We have started
with the writings of Saint Luke the Apostle.
The Holy Gospel
according to Luke:
We read and learn how the Apostle Luke transmitted the teachings
of Christ to the Early Christians. Learn what was
important to the first Christians and how it is just as
necessary for us today!
The
Acts of the Apostles:
We will read
about the activity of the early Church and learn about the
origins of Holy Tradition
The discussions will be guided by
the writings and commentary of the Holy Church Fathers.
All that is needed to attend the study group is a Bible
and the desire to learn!

An Orthodox Grade School
An effort
is being made that all area Orthodox Churches gather their
resources to determine if it is possible to establish a
small Orthodox Christian school in Union County; only 20
students and a few adults is all that is needed to begin.
There are already more than 30 small, successful Orthodox
Christian Schools in America. A preliminary meeting
was held in June 2006, as well as developmental meetings
in August and September. Another meeting is scheduled
for later this Summer 2008.
To all interested in the progress of the Orthodox Regional
Parochial School, there has been new developments to report.
A school administrator is needed for putting together the
initial necessary and proper paperwork. Please keep
looking to check for the next scheduled organizational meeting.
