Announcements
Holy Week
Confessions are being heard up to 2 hours before each service. You must be in church at least one half hour prior to any service so Father has time after confessions to properly perform his preparations. Confessions after a service are possible too. The liturgies are Monday – Thursday are at 7 PM. Friday’s Reading of the Passion Gospels are at noon. Friday’s Vespers & Burial Service is at 7 PM. Saturday’s Resurrection Matins are at 5 PM. Easter Sunday Liturgy is 10 AM. Please spend extra time with our Lord during Holy Week. If you want the church open during the day when no services are scheduled please call the rectory.
Let’s say Thank You
Fabric Care Center has been donating their dry cleaning work on our altar cloths and all liturgical items. They are located at 5760 West Morris St. and can be reached at 317-241-1288. Call them to say thank you and better yet, show your appreciation by getting your dry cleaning done there. They pick-up & deliver in some areas so give them a call.
Easter Bake Goods
The Binford indoor market was held on Saturday, March 27, 2010. Sales were over $200. Thanks to those who helped bake (Cyndi Huff), wrap (Julia, Seth & Sage Brown and Marge Hays), & sell (Max Beaver and Marcus Loidolt). You can still get baked goods (rolls, pascha bread, pumpkin logs) for your Easter basket and celebration. Buy them today or come Thursday to help with the last bake day before Easter. We start at 8:30 a.m. Anyone who wants pascha or rolls must let the rectory know by Tuesday, March 30th. If you have questions on how to make the traditional food items for your Easter basket give the rectory a call and we’ll try to point you in the right direction. Hint: Always start any activity with a sincere prayer. So the first step to making pascha bread, hdruka Easter cheese, etc. is asking for God’s divine assistance. He wants to help.
