Glory be to Jesus Christ! Glory forever!
We had another great weekend at St. George: praying for our departed loved ones, a Meatfare party and an awesome Godparents Brunch. Thanks so much, Ann and Khouriye, and all who pitched in and attended!
This is Cheesefare Week. While we have begun abstaining from meat, no other fasting is allowed this week. So enjoy your fish, eggs, wine and cheese, even today and Friday!
Tonight is "Family Night." Shane and his assistants will keep our kids entertained so we adults can talk about keeping Lent in the Orthodox home. ALL are invited, not just parents.
Saturday at catechism we will talk more about Great Lent, focusing on the services, but of course we will also answer all questions.
