GOD WITH US - On-line Webinars
UNDERSTANDING THE DIVINE LITURGY
Wednesdays, at 8 pm for one hour: Oct 7, Oct 14, Oct 21, and Oct 28.
As an old saying goes, the law of prayer is the law of belief. The foundation and authority of Orthodox Catholic catechesis is and always has been the Divine Liturgy of the Church. Rooted in prayer and looking to the Lord, we discover the Orthodox Faith in the face of Christ.
CROWNED WITH GLORY
Understanding the Marriage Covenant
Wednesday, November 11, 2020 8:00PM
“The love of husband and wife is the force that welds society together... Because when harmony prevails, the children are raised well, the household is kept in order, and neighbors, friends, and relatives praise the result. Great benefits, both of families and states, are produced. When it is otherwise, however, everything is thrown into confusion and turned upside-down.” St. John Chrysostom For more information or to register go to www.godwithusonline.org and click on Upcoming Events
