Prayer of Saint Ephraim

O Lord and Master of my life, grant not unto me a spirit of idleness, of discouragement, of lust for power, and of vain speaking.
But bestow upon me, Thy servant,the spirit of chastity, of meekness, of patience, and of love.
Yea, O Lord and King, grant that I may perceivemy own transgressions, and judge not my brother, for blessed art Thou unto ages of ages. Amen.

Dear parishioners,

You are invited to a celebration of our Church Slava. On Sunday February 22. after the Holy Liturgy we will continue with lunch and cultural program in our hall.

Everyone is Welcome!!!
Yours truly, father Obrad
