Russian icons & St. Seraphim of Sarov

Fr. Andrew's next visit has been postponed one week, to February 5th & 6th, to accommodate better a Baptism & Chrismation and out­-of­-town visitors attending; the Baptism will begin early, at 9:00 a.m.

            As we're often asked about our attendance at services, we're pleased to mention that at our Liturgy on Christmas morning, Saturday the 25th of last month, we had fourteen worshipers present.
