Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Please join us to pray for the tragedy surrounding the act of abortion which affects all human life.

At this time of celebrating the Incarnation of God Himself, consider coming to offer Him our supplications for healing.

Date: Friday 12/21

Time: 6:30    

Place: Sts Constantine and Elena Orthodox Church

           May our hearts be filled with God’s love for our neighbor especially those who cannot defend themselves.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” 

Truly He is risen!

We will have the Moleben for Life at Sts. Constantine and Elena on Wednesday, April 18th at 6:10 pm.  Hope to see you then!

Hope everyone is well and things are going smoothly with you on this Great Lent.  

We will serve the Moleben for Life in conjunction with the 40 Days for Life prayer vigil with Fr. Alexis Miller on the fourth Saturday of Lent, March 17th at 11 am, Planned Parenthood on 8590 Georgetown Rd., Indianapolis.  

If you are able, please come at 10:30 am for a silent vigil before the moleben begins at 11.

Have a blessed Lenten journey.

Christ is Born, Glorify Him!

“He Who holds all creation in the hollow of His hand
today is born of a Virgin.
He Whose essence none can touch
is wrapped in swaddling clothes as a mortal man.
God, Who in the beginning fashioned the heavens,
lies in a manger.
He Who rained manna on His people in the wilderness
is fed on milk from His mother’s breasts.
The Bridegroom of the Church summons the Magi,
and the Son of the Virgin accepts their gifts.
We worship Your Birth, O Christ.
We worship Your Birth, O Christ.
We worship Your Birth, O Christ.
Show us also Thy divine Theophany!”

~ Stichera of the Ninth Hour, Nativity Hymn

Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!

Even though our blog had been quiet from April up to this point, we had our moleben for April at Joy of All Who Sorrow with a handful of us and only missed last May.  That being said, we are extending joyous feast greetings from Pascha to Pentecost.

Christ is Risen! 

Christ is ascended! 

The Holy Spirit has descended!

Our june moleben will be held on wednesday the 21st, 6pm at st. john the forerunner, followed by our quarterly meeting. HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE!
