Each Sunday, after the celebration of the Divine Liturgy has concluded, a fellowship Coffee Hour is held in the parish hall downstairs. It's a time for friends to chat and enjoy each other's company, and to meet new friends and guests who have joined us for the Liturgy.
Since Orthodox Christians fast from midnight the night before a Divine Liturgy, in order to prepare for receiving Holy Communion, Coffee Hour also provides a little something to eat. Christian fellowship is central to our experience of Orthodoxy, most especially following the sanctity of the Divine Liturgy.

Host A Coffee Hour!
Maybe you want to celebrate a special occasion in
your
family or with friends. Hosting a coffee hour is
a great way
to bring that celebration into your
church family!
Our usual practice is to offer bagels and condiments
with coffee and juice during Coffee Hour.
However, you can choose to bring your own baked
goods
and or meals. In any event, cleaning up is an
important
part of the Coffee Hour and we ask that
everyone who
sponsors a Coffee Hour coordinate the
clean-up and
clearing the tables, and
generally
cleaning up the kitchen
(so far as it is messed)
and
wash the dishes used during
their Coffee Hour.
Guidelines on how to make the coffee
and order
the bagels.
If you are interested in hosting a coffee hour, please
contact Arlene Kallaur.
