SCHEDULING LITURGIES:  If you have an occasion to give thanks: graduation from school, a birthday or a special anniversary, or if you have a special need or want to remember parents or family members who have gone before us, Liturgy would be a great opportunity to do so.  Please see Father Alex or Reader Joe to schedule.  

UKRAINE RELIEF: Please consider donating to our second collection for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine. The money will be sent there to care for refugees and for all the people there who are suffering from the effects of the war. Please leave your donations in the collection plate on the table in the Narthex.

LENTEN PRAYER ~ PRAYER OF ST EPHREM THE SYRIAN  
O Lord and Master of my life, spare me from the spirit of indifference, despair, lust for power, and idle chatter. Instead, bestow on me, your servant, the spirit of integrity, humility, patience, and love.
