Weekly Divine Services

Great Vespers

Saturdays at 5PM

In the Orthodox Church the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. The Vespers service always begins with the chanting of the evening psalm: “…the sun knows it’s time for setting, Thou makest darkness and it is night…” (Psalm 104: 19) This psalm, which glorifies God’s creation of the world, is man’s very first act of worship, for man first of all meets God as Creator.

Orthros & Divine Liturgy

Sundays at 9AM & 10AM

The Divine Liturgy is the primary worship service of the Orthodox Church. The Divine Liturgy is a eucharistic service, containing two parts: the Liturgy of the Word, at which the Scriptures are proclaimed and expounded; and the Liturgy of the Faithful, in which the gifts of bread and wine are offered and consecrated; the faithful then partake of them in the Sacrament of Holy Communion.
