Sunday of the Fathers of the Six Ecumenical Councils - 07/31/11

On the day of the commemoration of the Fathers of the Six Ecumenical Councils, the morning began with hierarchical Divine Liturgy in the parish hall.  At the end of the liturgy, several gramotas were awarded:  (1) to Margarita Horvat for her many years of singing in the Pontifical choir, (2) to Olga Shukin for her many years of singing in the Pontifical choir, and (3) to the Sidorenko family who will be returning to Russian for their tireless work with the school and ORPR camp.  We wish them all continued success!  As the renovations in church have neared completion, this Sunday also marked the move back from the parish hall into the temple of all the candle stands, kiots, and altar items.  Once again, many thanks to all of those who stayed to help with the move - with all of the helping hands, this was carried out in less than an hour!  To thank everyone, the Brotherhood held a picnic barbeque outside.  Meanwhile, the school held a farewell lunch for the Sidorenko family in the parish hall.
