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!

A Special Guest

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.
