And His name shall be called the Angel of Great Counsel, Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God ! вЂќ Beloved Parishioners, Please take time during this Advent Lenten Season to begin focusing ourselves on the truth of Christmas. The most important message of Christmas is that of joyous giving. ItвЂ™s the message of our seasonal classics like A Christmas Carol and ItвЂ™s A Wonderful Life. More importantly, itвЂ™s the message of that first Christmas. For the baby in BethlehemвЂ™s manger was a gift, a present from a loving heavenly Father to His lost and hurting children, a gift the Scriptures says brought вЂњgood tidings of great joyвЂќ to giver and receiver alike. The message of joyous giving and redemption are the most important messages of the Incarnation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Where will we find happiness in the truest meaning of this Feast day? Look around youвЂ¦ what are your opportunities to give with joy? These are your best chances! As we await and prepare for this Holy Feast, I invite you to open your hearts, your minds and your souls, to His divine presence and allow Him to bring the truest Joy into your being. Allow the Prince of Peace Who has entered this world and our human condition, to dwell in our midst, and to guide us on our most sure and certain path of eternal peace and joy. May His blessings be upon you and your families during this beautiful season, and may your worship and fellowship be filled with His Joy throughout the New Year. I pray that you will make every effort to come and give Glory to the New Born King during our Divine Services. The schedule for the Nativity and New YearвЂ™s Eve Day are as follows: Wednesday, December 24, 2014 10:00 A.M. Great Hours of the Nativity 6:00 P.M. Vespers and Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom ~ Holy Nativity Thursday, December 25, 2014 9:30 A.M. Orthros 10:00 A.M. Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great ~ Holy Nativity Wednesday, December 31, 2014 7:00 P.M. Vesperal Divine Liturgy for the new year & Circumcision of Christ Followed by the New YearвЂ™s Eve Dinner & Dance May the Joy of our Lord and SaviorвЂ™s Nativity illumine all of His creation!
