The Sick
"I was sick and you visited me." We have petitions for the sick during the Liturgy and every Wednesday at our prayer service before the icon of the Mother of God, "Queen of All;" so, if you or someone you know is sick and needs prayer or would like a visit, please let Father George know.

Our Choir

New members for the choir are always welcome. You are encouraged to take this opportunity to beautifully enhance the services of the Church. If you are able to do so, please speak to our choir director, Christopher Johnson. Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings at 7 PM.

Our Sunday School
A class for our very young children is being taught by Christopher Johnson and Dorothy Dillon in the library after Trapeza. Father George is teaching a class for older youngsters on an occasional basis. (He would be glad to make it regular!) Let us please keep our Sunday School in our prayers because such instruction is a foundational element in parish life. If you would like to help with the program, please speak to Fr. George. Also, coming up soon, we will embark on a common reading and study of a modern classic in the tradition of the Fathers, “Orthodox Dogmatic Theology.” This work by Father Michael Pomazansky is beloved by those who know it, and this is an opportunity for others to experience its richness. More will be said in the November bulletin.

Our Bookstore
Please see and use our bookstore. As well as books, music service books, icons, CD’s, Pascha egg pendants and other items are available. There is more than one source for the items in our store. When you buy something, please put the following into the donation box, together with the payment (in full, thanks – no future payments or IOU’s): the item name (“book” won’t do) and the dollar ($) amount of the payment. There are note-sized pieces of paper for your use for this purpose on the candle stand. This information will enable us to keep our book-keeping straight. Thank you for supporting the Parish Bookstore. Thanks to Katya Renko for the new seasonal items.

St. Juliana Sisterhood
All women are welcome to be members of our Sisterhood. To become one, please contact Katia Renko before the next Sisterhood meeting. Membership dues range from $2-$5 per month. An excellent opportunity open to both men and women to help maintain the beauty, warmth and hospitable atmosphere of our parish is to take your place on the Church Cleaning Schedule, which is on the bulletin board next to the refrigerator.

From 'St John of Shanghai and San Francisco, Zealous Builder of Churches'

Everywhere he went he either oversaw the building of churches or supported the same with his attention and prayers... He wrote about the godly work of building churches: 

"In building churches here on earth, we create for ourselves eternal habitations in heaven."

St Romanos the Melodist Society

 

The St. Romanos the Melodist Society produces and publishes English language music of the Russian Orthodox Church.

 

The St. Romanos website is the online extension of A Church Singer's Companion, a project started in 1998 with the blessing of Metropolitan (then Archbishop) Laurus. Inspired by the Russian Sputnik Psalomshchika, the Companion is envisioned to contain the music necessary for every service a parish choir might need to sing, while staying simple enough so that any parish choir can sing it.

The St. Romanos Society produces music in both printed and recorded formats, and conducts seminars and workshops on the proper performance of that music. The Society is a sodality of Holy Apostles Orthodox Church, Beltsville, Maryland.

To get started looking at music, proceed to the Church Singer's Companion and begin familiarizing yourself with the content. You'll find there are a few more challenging settings mixed in, marked “difficult” or “very difficult”. Audio or video examples accompany some of the music. In addition, the Introduction provides valuable advice about proper church singing and related topics.

Detailed Reviews and Endorsements by clergy and choral professionals are provided for your consideration.
