This coming Saturday, we will be hosting one of our LIVING FAITH classes; this time the topic is the Divine Liturgy, the oldest and original form of Christian worship, and a living tradition still utilized by the 300 million Orthodox Christians alive today.

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I celebrating the Divine Liturgy in Soumela, Turkey

Composed almost entirely of quotations from the New and Old Testaments, and encompassing the Christian understanding of Creation, Redemption, Incarnation, Gospel, Sacrifice, Resurrection, Ascension and Parousia, this ancient liturgy is alive and vibrant and celebrated almost daily by thousands of clergy on every continent and at the North and South poles. (Even the smallest Orthodox Churches celebrate at least one or two liturgies per week).

This class will be held at 11 am in the upper classroom of St. George Church. There is no charge for this class, though a notebook and pen are recommended.

If you would like more information about this class, contact Fr. John at 777-8750.
