"Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God."

It is impossible to imagine an Orthodox church in which candles are not lit.” (Blessed Simeon of Thessalonica, 15th Century)

One of the first things most people do upon entering an Orthodox Church is to light their candle and offer prayers for one’s personal needs or that of a family member or friend, we also light candles to pray for protection and safety so that we may live this life without fear. If you would like to light a candle please click the image above and follow all instructions. We look forward to praying with you and your family.

Thanks,

Fr.Nick

Hurricane Helene Relief

As was noted in our post-liturgy announcements and in our bulletin, much damage and devastation has been brought about by Hurricane Helene. We seek to follow the example of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Asheville, NC, which, despite being in the heart of the storm turned their food festival into an opportunity to serve those in need. Donations to help the IOCC in this effort are greatly appreciated and may be made through our parish or directly online by clicking HERE.
