Pentecost Vespers in the new church
From Father Alexis
On Saturday, May 26, we had a very productive work day followed by Great Vespers in the new church.
Scott Daron wired up most of the lighting circuits, the breaker boxes have been wired and we are ready for the inspection needed to get our permament electrical hook-up.
Melanie Rentsch and Hannah Miller stained and varnished all of our windows.
Eleana Koen helped get the nave ready for vespers and salvaged a large amount of bricks from the scrap pile (with some help from Lucy Miller.)
After a hard days work it was a great joy to hear the bells ringing and calling us to worship. During the vespers of Pentecost we blessed the newly fashioned cross on the front of the church.
John Miller worked hard all day preparing the grounds for final excavating and grading.
I give thanks to God for sending His helpers to build this church: the visitors and the faithful members of the parish, the wives who give up their husbands for the work days, the women who prepare the food for the workers, and those who have donated funds to buy the materials. May God's richest blessings be upon all of you.
