I pray you had a blessed Apostles’ Feast yesterday. For those who joined us for Liturgy with the Coptic parish in Spotswood, it was such a blessing to celebrate liturgy yesterday. In Acts 4:33 we read “And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.” May God likewise send you out with great power to give witness to the resurrection of our Lord Jesus, as He sent out the blessed Apostles.
Last Sunday we continued our visitor’s series in the Link entitled SIMPLE LESSONS FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH with Makar Naguib, who discussed Use Good Habits (and Fighting Bad Ones) to Grow Spiritually. This coming Sunday we will have Sherif Samaan discussing how to Grow Spiritually through the Trials of Life. All are welcome to join.
Also, just a reminder that summer is officially here, so St. Anianus will be starting and finishing 30 minutes earlier on Sunday mornings. Please see full summer schedule below:
