CHURCH ETIQUETTE:
Church Etiquette or Some Things You Should Know While In Church by Fr. David Barr
SERVICE SCHEDULE - please check out our current schedule (link) and contact our priest (email) if you have any questions before you make your first visit.
FAMILIES AND CHILDREN - We want everyone to participate in our services, therefore, it is extremely important to us that both parents and children feel comfortable in our church. Our services are quite long, so if at any point you need to take your child out of the sanctuary, please feel free to do so. There is space in the vestibule, as well as in the basement if your kids need a break :)
COMMUNION - Holy Communion is only for members of the Orthodox Church who have prepared themselves through prayer, fasting and regular confession. However, everyone is welcome to come forward and to partake of the blessed bread at the conclusion of the service.
COFFEE HOUR - All are welcome to join us for coffee hour after the Divine Liturgy on Sunday mornings and for potluck dinners after Presanctified Liturgies during Great Lent.
ENTERING THE CHURCH
When you visit our parish, please fill out a welcome card (located on the back of each pew) and drop it in the Welcome Box next to candles on the way out the door; or fill out out our visitor card online (link). Also, make sure to pick up a bulletin or check out it out a digital copy of our latest bulletin on our homepage.
