Please note:
For the Paschal Banquet, we are asking that you not bring hard liquor or distilled alcohol beverages to be consumed at church. Wine, beer, kvass, hard cider, etc., are fine — if consumed responsibly and in moderation. Please leave vodka, slivovich, arak, rakia, tuica, ouzo, scotch, gin, etc., at home (or at least un-opened if you include it in your Paschal Basket.) Thanks.
Our Lenten Discipline —
• There are many extra divine services each week until Pascha.
• There are many evenings where Confession is scheduled. Confession can also be by appointment.
• Our Lenten almsgiving will focus on Gulf Coast II — helping to send a Portland team to assist the IOCC in New Orleans.
• Monthly participation at the St. Francis Dining Hall (3rd Sunday).
• Mark your calendars for the parish-wide Work Party on Lazarus, Saturday, March 27, following Divine Liturgy.
Plan to take advantage of these as part of your Lenten discipline and spirituality.
Pysanki —
Here’s your invitation to “write” those colourfully decorated Ukrainian Easter Eggs – common to most all Slavic Peoples. See fliers in the Hall for details.
