Our Parish

Daily Christian Life

Begin and end the day with prayer. Try to include God in your life throughout each day. The Christian life is one of rhythm — daily, weekly, and seasonal — lived in personal devotion and shared community.

The Foundations

Four practices that shape the daily life of an Orthodox Christian.

Practice 1

Prayer

Begin and end the day with prayer. Make God your first thought in the morning and your last in the evening.

Practice 2

Family Prayer

Families with children should try to pray together at least once a day. The home is the first church.

Practice 3

Fasting

Begin fasting to grow in spiritual maturity and acquire virtue. Fasting is a gift, not a burden.

Practice 4

Charity

Be charitable. The Old Testament teaches us to give 10% to God; the New Testament teaches us to give unconditionally.

Daily Personal Prayer

Morning & Evening

Begin by making the sign of the cross and praying either the Lord's Prayer or the entire Thrice-Holy prayers (Trisagion). This habit can be prayed in the morning and evening.

Learning formal Orthodox prayers from prayer books teaches us how to pray to God and what to pray for — and helps us learn how to hear God's answers.

Weekly Community Prayer

Sundays

Matins (Orthros) is a prayer service of psalms, hymns, Scripture, and prayers that prepares us for Divine Liturgy.

Divine Liturgy is the eucharistic service of the Orthodox Church — celebrated every Sunday and on weekdays as well. See the parish calendar for days and times.

Monthly Prayer Group

Open to all

Our prayer group meets each month after Sunday services. We review Scripture that teaches us how to acquire God's healing, and we pray for those on our parish prayer list and other identified individuals.

Watch the parish calendar to learn when the group meets each month.
