Stepping Outside of Time
Monday, 19 October 2009 08:56
Dear Friends in Christ,
We’ve entered Fall, a time when things should be starting to unwind. We’ve heard about the lazy days of Summer, but how many of us actually had a time to relax? All the things we end up doing make the time fly by. Soon, we will begin the Holiday Season, with a string of parties and events to attend and participate in. So given this period between Summer and the Holidays, we should all be breathing a sigh of relief, ready to kick back and enjoy the leaves changing color and the cool breezes. Yet I keep hearing about people being busy. I must confess, I have claimed this myself!
Our One Year Anniversary
Wednesday, 02 September 2009 09:07
Dear Friends in Christ,
September 2009 marks the first anniversary of Nativity of the Holy Theotokos Orthodox Church here in Greenville! On September 20 of last year we gathered for that first Vespers service, and joined together again the next morning for our first Divine Liturgy. Since that time, we have become an active part of the Greenville community, and I am proud of what we have accomplished so far.
The Dormition of the Theotokos

Dear Friends in Christ,
It’s hard to believe that we’re in August already, and we are almost about to celebrate the one year anniversary of the founding of our mission here in Greenville! One of the highlights of the month of August is the feast day of the Dormition of the Theotokos, which we celebrate on August 15/28. The two weeks preceding this feast are kept as a fast, which features the frequent chanting of the Paraklasis service, and is punctuated by the glorious celebration of the Transfiguration of Christ on August 6/19.

Two quick news updates about our community:
On Saturday, July 18 we had our second clothing closet and gave away clothing to several needy families again. Thanks to all who donate clothing as it is really helping the community!
On Friday, July 24, Fr. Anastasios gave a lecture titled, "What Happened After the Apostles?" It was recorded, and is being edited for posting on our youtube channel. Fr. Anastasios is planning to offer more lectures in the coming months, so stayed tuned for the schedule.
An Orthodox Take on Death
Tuesday, 07 July 2009 14:02
Dear Friends in Christ,
With the recent passing of several celebrities, we are once again confronted with the reality of death. Whenever someone famous dies, the response is predictable; the modern world has developed its own set of funeral customs for the famous. Our first hint of the news is often from a gossip site; major news outlets unable to keep up cite the gossip site as a source; it is confirmed, and the television specials commence.
