Registration for Camp Nazareth is now open: Please visit www.campnazareth.org to register your children! We are in desperate need of some new altar covers. The old covers have served us well and many are in need of retirement. The colors we will be replacing are: purple, blue, green, red, and gold. A full set of covers for the altar, the tetrapod and the two icon stands is $210.00. We will be having a special collection next week for the new covers. Thank you! This is a friendly reminder to return your stewardship surveys as soon as possible!

To Ponder When the soul knows the love of God by the Holy Spirit, then he clearly feels that the Lord is our own Father, the closest, dearest Father, the best. And there is no greater happiness than to love God with all the mind and heart, and our neighbor as ourself. And when this love is in the soul, then all things bring joy to the soul. St. Silouan the Athonite Don't be troubled if you don't feel the love of God in yourself, but think about the Lord, that He is merciful, and guard yourself from sins, and the grace of God will teach you. St. Silouan the Athonite The soul that has come to know God fully no longer desires anything else, nor does it attach itself to anything on the earth; and if you put before it a kingdom, it would not desire it, for the love of God gives such sweetness and joy to the soul that even the life of a king can no longer give it any sweetness. St. Silouan the Athonite
