St Olympia Orthodox Church - Week of 11 24 2024

Dear Faithful,

Glory to Jesus Christ!

Attached is the bulletin (thank you, Peggy).

As we draw near to the holiday season, we have two choices: 1) get sucked into the world's frenzy, 2) enter into the peaceful embrace of the Church. We have an opportunity for the latter this Wednesday evening and Thursday morning as we celebrate the Great Feast of the Entrance of the Theotokos in the Temple.

Please see the bulletin for our upcoming services and events. This Saturday after vespers, we will watch the Russian classic, The Island (Ostrov). See below for a flyer. Lastly, there are still plenty of coffee hour slots for which to sign up for coffee. Thank you to everyone who has stepped up thus far.

There will not be daily vespers at the hermitage this Wednesday since we will have Great Vespers for the Feast at 6 PM. Wednesday vespers at the hermitage will resume the following week, on November 27.

We are serving as a Toys For Tots drop site. Please bring in new toys and leave them in the big box in the side narthex. Contact Ryan Carr This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with any questions.

Your servant in Christ,
Fr. Gregory
