Many counties in New York State (including our own Westchester County) are reporting COVID POSITIVE RATES AS HIGH AS 7%.

We are doing our best to prevent too many worshipers being present at any one time in our beautiful house of worship.

We invite you to register with us if you re planning to celebrate with us.

SUNDAY BEFORE NATIVITY: EPISTLE: Brethren: By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. By faith Abraham,...Continue reading

SUNDAY OF THE HOLY FATHERS OF THE NICENE COUNCIL EPISTLE: Acts 20, 16-18;28-36 In those days, Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus in order not to lose time in the province of Asia, for he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if at all possible, for the day of Pentecost. From Miletus he had the presbyters of the church at Ephesus summoned. When they came to him, he addressed them, You know how I lived among you the whole time from the day I first came to the province of Asia....Continue reading

НЕДЛЯ СВЯТИХ ОТЦВ НКЕЙСЬКОГО СОБОРУ АПОСТОЛ: Дяння 20,16-18;28-36 Тими днями, Павло виршив плисти попри Ефес, щоб не баритися в Аз; поспшав бо, щоб по змоз, на день П’ятидесятниц бути в русалим. З Млету вн послав у Ефес прикликав пресвтерв Церкви. Коли ж вони прийшли до нього, вн до них промовив: Ви знате, як з першого дня, коли я вступив у Азю, увесь час поводився з вами. Зважайте на самих себе й на все стадо, над яким Дух Святий поставив вас пископами..., щоб пасли Церкву Божу, що вн придбав кров’ю власною. Я знаю, що по мом вдход ввйдуть помж вас вовки хиж, як не щадитимуть стада. Та й з-помж вас самих повстануть люди, що говоритимуть погубн реч, щоб потягнути за собою учнв. Тому чувайте, пригадуйте соб, що я три роки, нч день, не переставав кожного з вас з сльозами наводити на розум. А тепер передаю вас Богов слову його благодат, що може збудувати й дати вам спадщину мж усма освяченими. Н србла, н золота, ан одеж я не вимагав н вд кого. Ви сам знате, що мом потребам тих, як зо мною, служили оц руки. У всьому я показав вам, що, так працюючи, треба допомагати слабосильним пам'ятати слова Господа суса, що сам сказав: ‘Бльше щастя - давати, нж брати.’ Промовивши це, вн упав на колна з усма ними почав молитися. ВАНГЕЛ: вана 17,1-13 Того часу, сус, пдввши оч сво до неба, проказав: Отче, прийшла година! Прослав свого Сина, щоб Син твй тебе прославив, згдно з владою, що ти дав йому над усяким тлом: дарувати життя вчне тим, яких ти передав йому. А вчне життя у тому, щоб вони спзнали тебе, диного, стинного Бога, тобою посланого - суса Христа. Я тебе на земл прославив, виконавши те дло, яке ти дав мен до виконання. Тепер же прослав мене, Отче, у себе - славою тю, що мав у себе перед тим, як постав свт! Я об’явив тво м’я людям, яких ти вд свту передав мен. Вони були тво, ти ж передав мен х, зберегли вони слово тво. Нин збагнули вони, що все тобою дане мен - вд тебе; слова бо, тобою мен дан, я м дав, сприйняли вони х, справд збагнули, що вд тебе я вийшов, уврували, що ти мене послав. Молю ж за них: не за свт молю, лише за тих, яких ти передав мен, бо вони - тво. все мо тво, тво ж - мо, в них я прославився. Я вже бльш не у свт, а вони у свт, я до тебе йду. Отче Святий! Заради мени твого бережи х, тих, що х ти мен передав, щоб було одно, як ми! Бувши з ними у свт, я берг х у тво м’я; тих, яких ти передав мен, я х стерг, нхто з них не пропав, лише син загибел, щоб збулося Писання. Тепер же ду до тебе, кажу те, у свт бувши, щоб вони радощв мох мали у соб вщерть.

FOUR WORDS (in English & по Укранськй) In the early Church, preaching was mainly concentrated on the Jews. The Apostles eventually came to interpret Jesus’ instruction Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations (Matthew 28:19) to include the Gentiles. Understanding and fulfilling His Great Commission was very important for the future growth of the Church. It allowed more people to partake in the universal Gospel of Christ. Gentiles could now be saved and receive...Continue reading

Food For Thought: THE PROPER WINDOW Analogies can be defined as resemblances that imply further similarity. They are often useful to demonstrate to an audience a greater truth. Today we begin by examining three different kinds of WINDOWS and how they relate to our perspective on life. Each type of window casts a bias on how things are seen through it. Let us delve into these types of windows and the effects they have on our lives. The first is a DIRTY window. This is the ...Continue reading

NINETEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST EPISTLE: 2 Cor. 11:31-12:9 Brethren: The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows, he who is blessed forever, that I do not lie. At Damascus, the governor under King Aretas guarded the city of Damascus, in order to seize me, but I was lowered in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his hands. I must boast; not that it is profitable, but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. I know someone in Christ who, fourteen ye...ars ago (whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows), was caught up to the third heaven. And I know that this person (whether in the body or out of the body, I do not know, God knows) was caught up into Paradise and heard ineffable things, which no one may utter. About this person I will boast, but about myself I will not boast, except about my weaknesses. Although if I should wish to boast, I would not be foolish, for I would be telling the truth. But I refrain, so that no one may think more of me than what he sees in me or hears from me because of the abundance of the revelations. Therefore, that I might not become too elated, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, an angel of Satan, to beat me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I begged the Lord about this, that it might leave me, but he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness. I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me. GOSPEL: Lk 6:31-36 The Lord said: Do to others as you would have them do to you. For if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same. If you lend money to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit [is] that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, and get back the same amount. But rather, love your enemies and do good to them, and lend expecting nothing back; then your reward will be great and you will be children of the Most High, for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful, just as also your Father is merciful. See more

19-а НЕДЛЯ ПО ЗСЛАНН СВ. ДУХА АПОСТОЛ: 2 Кор 11:31-12:9 Браття, Бог Отець Господа суса, - благословен вовки! - зна, що я не говорю неправди. В Дамаску правитель царя Арети стерг мсто дамащан, щоб мене схопити; та мене спущено вконцем у кош з муру, я втк з його рук. Чи треба хвалитися? Воно й не личить, але я таки приступлю до виднь та до об’явлення Господа. Я знаю чоловка в Христ, що чотирнадцять рокв тому, - чи то було в тл, не знаю, чи то було без тла,... не знаю, Бог зна, - був узятий у рай чув слова несказанн, яких год людин вимовити. Таким буду хвалитися, собою ж не буду хвалитися, хба лиш моми немочами. А коли захочу хвалитися, я не буду безумний, бо кажу правду; але я стримуюся, щоб про мене хтось не сказав бльше, нж у мен бачить або вд мене чу. А щоб не згордв надмрно висотою об’явлень, дано мен колючку в тло, посланця сатани, щоб бив мене в обличчя, щоб я не зносився вгору. Я трич благав Господа ради нього, щоб вд мене вдступився, та вн сказав мен: Досить тоб мо благодат, бо моя сила виявляться в безсилл. Отож, я краще буду радо хвалитися своми немочами, щоб у мен Христова сила перебувала. ВАНГЕЛ: Лк 6:31-36 Сказав Господь: як бажате, щоб вам чинили люди, чинть ви м так само. Коли ви любите тих, що вас люблять, яка вам заслуга? Та й гршники те саме чинять. Таж бо гршники люблять тих, що х люблять. коли чините добро тим, що вам чинять, яка вам заслуга? коли позичате тим, вд кого мате надю назад узяти, яка вам заслуга? Адже гршники гршникам позичають, щоб вдбрати вд них рвне. Ви ж любть ворогв ваших, добро чинте м, позичайте, не чекаючи назад нчого, а велика буде ваша нагорода, й будете Всевишнього синами, бо вн благий для злих невдячних. Будьте милосердн, як Отець ваш милосердний. See more

Il 16 ottobre di 42 anni fa veniva eletto Giovanni Paolo II. Il pontefice che avrebbe fatto crollare il Muro di Berlino, che avrebbe riaffermato l'integrità e l...a bellezza della dottrina cristiana su famiglia e matrimonio, che con il suo non abbiate paura avrebbe ricordato all'umanità di oggi di non aver risolto il caso Gesù, ma di averlo solamente eluso. Dopo 42 anni, e più che mai, grazie. See more
