We celebrated the Vesperal Liturgy of Theophany in our new church, and it was a joyous service! The reverberations of the high ceiling were glorious to hear. At the end of the liturgy was the Great Blessing of the Waters, and Father sprinkled the entire new church and all present with the holy water. After the service, we gathered in our new parish hall for a pizza party. It was joyful and memorable!
Many thanks to Mariana for the first three photos from that service, and many thanks to Sergey for his lovely photographs!
