1st Service of the Bridegroom

At 6:30 PM, *Stay at Home* obeying the “Shelter in Place,” and pray with us via our parish live-stream on our FaceBook page and our YouTube page. Read along with the BrideGroom Service by clicking here:

(This beautiful service helps prepare us to receive Christ our Lord as the Bridegroom of the Church.  It happens in 3 movements over the course of 3 nights in a row.)

“Behold, the Bridegroom is coming in the middle of the night; and blessed is the servant He shall find awake and watching; unworthy is the other He shall find being lazy. So beware, O soul of mine, be not overcome by sleep, so that you not be handed over to death and be shut out from the Kingdom. Come to your senses and cry aloud: Holy, holy, holy are You our God. By the protection of the Bodiless Hosts have mercy on us.” ~ Troparion Hymn of Christ the Bridegroom
