THE FIRST CHRISTMAS SERVICES AT OUR NEWLY CONSECRATED CHURCH
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
With God’s blessing, we are approaching the happiest feast of the Church, the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ. This year, we will celebrate our first Christmas in our newly consecrated church. As we prepare ourselves for the upcoming feast, we should fast, pray, and come to Church for Holy Confession and Holy Communion so that we may worthily welcome the day of the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ. The festivities of Bozic will start on Christmas Eve, Friday January 6 at 7:00pm with Vesper Service and procession around the Church and the burning of Badnjak. Following the Vesper Service, Children will receive presents and the Badnjak will be blessed and ready for you to take home. Also, a traditional lenten dinner will be served.
On Saturday January 7, the Divine Liturgy will be served at 10:00am. Confession will begin at 9:00am. Following the Divine Liturgy, there will be a luncheon for all who would like to stay and share the joy of Bozic. Each one of us should do our very best to take the day off from work and come to church with our children as we welcome the birth of Christ, our Lord, on that day. Welcome!
Our Church New Year Celebration will be on Friday January 13 at 8pm with live music by Sasa Kusevic orchestra and great food.
On Epiphany, January 19 the Divine Liturgy with the great blessing of water will start at 5:00am. St. John the Baptist day Service will be on January 20 at 9:00am.
It is a tradition among our faithful people to make a special contribution to the Church on this day, so called “Bozicni darak” or Christmas gift. By helping our Church, we help ourselves and our children learn our faith. Thank you! We hope to see you in good health and good spirit during the Christmas holidays. Welcome!
