This is especially for those who frequently “with Faith and with Love come forward” to receive the Body and Blood of Christ.

Father’s cell phone number has changed. New number is: 301-367-9051. Please make note of it, especially for emergencies.

A special collection will be taken next Sunday following Divine Services for the Orthodox Christian Fellowship, an official agency of SCOBA serving Orthodox Christian College Students. Please be kind and generous in your offering. Thank you.
