Learn the Scriptures

   Our next Bible Study will be held next week, Wednesday, October 15 - we will be studying the the 15th and 16th 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

     Christina Semon, a Missionary Worker for the Orthodox Christian Mission Center, joined us for Liturgy and Coffee Hour this past summer on Sunday, July 13.  Christina will be working in Romania for the next few years. Christina spoke with us about the work being done in Romania by the Orthodox Church and how the Romanian Church has asked the OCMC for Missionary help to administer some of the social programs offered to those in need in Romania.  Please join us in praying for Christina in her Orthodox Christian Mission endeavors. Read more here about how you may help Christina with her work in the OCMC.
