Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

1. The coming week: We will serve Great Vespers on Saturday evening at 6:00 p.m., with Divine Liturgy for the Sunday of the Blind Man on Sunday morning at 10:00 am. If we can even imagine healing blindness as being an everyday event, the story on Sunday is at an entirely different level. The Fathers tell us that the blind man, in fact, had no eyes at all. It is a compelling story.
On Wednesday evening, at 6:30 p.m., we will serve a vesperal Divine Liturgy for the Feast of the Ascension. If you will be partaking, remember the fasting rules for vesperal Liturgies.
2. Remember that on June 21 and 22 we will have a workshop on Missions, led by Subdeacon Maximus. Child care will be available.
3. You will notice some new things in the Church on Sunday. We have been blessed yet again!
I hope to see you all this weekend!
In Christ,
Fr. James
