Please join us for a monthly Faith Formation Series. This year, instead
of biblical perspective, we will focus on other topics, such as the rationale of icons, feasts,
vestments, architecture of our church, several traditions in the Byzantine church, etc. The first
meetings will be held on Sundays October 4th and November 1. Meetings will be held on the
following dates. Coffee and pastries will be served. We look forward to exploring the Word of God
together.
