Happy Sunday! Today we celebrate Palm Sunday, a joyous occasion that marks the beginning of Holy Week. As we approach this significant day, let’s take a moment to reflect on the message from Philippians 4:4-9 and John 12:1-18, which serve as our epistle and gospel readings for the day.
Key highlights from today’s services include the Third and Sixth Hours, Confession, Blessing of the Palms Divine Liturgy, Parish Council Confirmation, Fellowship Hour, and Bridegroom Matins. We also celebrate happy birthdays to James Grimaldi on April 10th, and welcome newly confirmed parish board members, including Serhiy Hadzhula, Natalia Shiltsev, James Grimaldi, Aaron Weinert, Carlos Medrano, Maria Llamas, Alex Ouchakov, Daniel Andreev, and Richard Rogge.
