Resurrectional Apolytikion First Tone
Savior, Your tomb was sealed with a stone. Soldiers kept watch over Your sacred body. Yet, You rose on the third day giving life to the world.

CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS.... WELL ALMOST!

Our financial situation does not allow us to have a full time janitor and custodian for our Church and Hall. We all need to do our part to keep our facilities relatively clean.  ...Read Full Text >
