Weekly Bulletin and Message
Posted: December 2, 2025
——————
Dear Faithful,
Blessed Feast of St. Porphyrios (+ 1991) — one of the great elders of our own day. His voice speaks powerfully to the modern person, who is too often fixated on darkness, rather than light:
"Do not fight to expel the darkness from the chamber of your soul. Instead open a tiny aperture for light [i.e., Christ] to enter and the darkness will disappear."
As we seek to pull out some of the weeds from the garden of our heart this Nativity Fast, let's not waste time studying and examining each weed. Rather, focus on channeling the water of life to the place where beauty will spring up in due time.
Please note:
- Our Book Club has been rescheduled to December 18.
- This Sunday following the Liturgy is our Annual Meeting. All hands on deck, please! Attached are last year's minutes along with our proposed 2026 budget.
- This Sunday is also potluck for coffee hour.
May God bless and keep you!
Fr Gregory

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
St. Lawrence County is the largest county, by area, in our state.
What an incredible opportunity to build the Orthodox Church here in the North Country.
We are not here to cater to a certain demographic or cultural group.
We are here to bring Christ to everyone.
