First General Parish Meeting, Sunday, July 26 : Becoming members of One Household in Christ
So then you are no longer strangers
and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members
of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles
and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone. St Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians, 2:19-20
Next Sunday after lunch we will gather in church for our first General Meeting to solicit membership and stewardship for the Orthodox Parish of the Protection of the Holy Virgin Mary. Moving forward as a parish and soon to be recognized by the state as a discrete church community with a definite membership, we all need to pledge toward the stewardship of our ministry in Christ. At this upcoming meeting, we will the gather names and pledges of tithes of the faithful who want to be part of this Orthodox Mission, committed to its growth here.
