Food For Thought 01: Great Lent – February 25, 2023
Thanks to all who attended our first Food for Thought on Saturday, Feb 25. It was a wonderful evening of discussion about Great Lent led by Fr. Ben. Here is the audio presentation.
In anticipation of our next session on Saturday, March 25, Fr. Ben asked that we prepare by reading the Didache. Here is the link for you or you can purchase the Didache at the bookstore for only $7.
Stay tuned for the schedule for that day as it will include Liturgy for the Feast of the Annunciation, our annual Fish Feast to support Zoe House crisis pregnancy center, followed by our discussion in the church. We will plan to have activities for the kids in the hall while the adults are in class.
Special thanks to Fr. Ben for offering this informative program to all parish members, catechumens, and friends who are curious about the Faith.

His Eminence Metropolitan Saba
Dearly beloved in Christ,
Over the last two days, our father in Christ his Beatitude Patriarch John X of Antioch, and all the East has met with the Holy Synod of Antioch to elect the next Metropolitan of our beloved Archdiocese. After a special convention in January, our Archdiocese sent over three names to the Holy Synod that they might consider especially in their deliberations: Metropolitan Saba, Bishop John, and Bishop Nicholas. The Holy Synod has elected Metropolitan Saba to be our next Metropolitan. May it be blessed!
Great strength to you all as we approach the beginning of the Great Fast. May we all be encouraged and strengthened by our next chief shepherd of North America.
Peace and joy in Christ.
Fr. Benjamin Kjendal
Letter of Metropolitan Saba to Antiochian Archdiocese
