Peace from God, Christ is Born!

                Dear brothers and sisters, we are approaching another one happiest holiday of all! We are getting ready to celebrate the most blessed and most shiny day of the year, the day when the Jesus Christ was born. He has come to this world just to be sacrificed for human sins. However, many did recognize Him as God Son and did not requested miracles to be performed just to convince them. As holly scriptures says, those who recognized Him also gifted Him with many gifts of greatest value: love and peace. Today we can continue the legacy of those true believers and continue their path of charity and kindness. Christmas is exactly that, a holiday that cherish love, peace, and unity.

                I am very pleased and happy to look at the year behind us as it was marked with unity and kindness in our parish. We all need to lift our heads high and be proud on everything done in this year when it comes to the renovations and general care about our holly mother church and our parish. Even we are one of the smallest parishes we come as united and completed some very big tasks heading toward the same goal. That goal is to preserve and keep everything that we have so far. That goal has to be our shiny Bethlehem star and guide to keep our orthodox faith, unity of our church and family. Unfortunately, we are witnessing attacks on our families, church and orthodox faith daily. In those days of backward moral values many are attacking everything that one Christian family stands for and only united around our holly church we can sustain and save our children of immorality this world is heading to.

                At the end I want to say one big thank to all of you for your unselfish help, support, and encouragement. I am certain that year ahead will bring even more unity to our small parish. I pray and hope that year ahead will bring nothing but peace and love to all!

             Attached you can find a schedule for holly services for the Christmas holidays. I hope we gather in great number as many times before to welcome newborn Christ once again!

                Peace from God, Christ is Born
