Luncheon honoring Kyle Miller

Luncheon honoring Kyle Miller - 11/23/08

At our Fifth Centennial Breakfast (2nd Luncheon) we honored Kyle Miller, a young man from our community who lost his leg in a tractor accident.  The church took up a collection towards his expenses and the Centennial Committee matched the donation for a total of $1,400.00.  Two checks were presented to Kyle at the end of the Liturgy.  Kyle and his family were then our guests at our Lenten Centennial Luncheon which was prepared and served by Matushka Kathy, Delores Serniak, Ann Narcoonis, and Mary Mathena.  Delicious tuna and egg salads were available along with rolls, lettuce, and tomatoes.  There was a wonderful variety of desserts, too.  Many thanks to everyone for making this a successful event.

More Information >

The Holy Scripture is a collection of books written over multiple centuries by those inspired by God to do so. It is the primary witness to the Orthodox Christian faith, within Holy Tradition and often described as its highest point. It was written by the prophets and apostles in human language, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and collected, edited, and canonized by the Church.

Daily Readings >

Holiness or sainthood is a gift (charisma) given by God to man, through the Holy Spirit. Man's effort to become a participant in the life of divine holiness is indispensable, but sanctification itself is the work of the Holy Trinity, especially through the sanctifying power of Jesus Christ, who was incarnate, suffered crucifixion, and rose from the dead, in order to lead us to the life of holiness, through the communion with the Holy Spirit.
