We’ve begun a major church beautification project, and you can get involved and help! As announced in our previous post, we have been donated a pair of beautiful Holy Doors. To go with this, we will be building an iconostasis, which separates the nave from the Sanctuary and reveals the fullness of the kingdom of God, “but at the same time indicates that we must continue journeying to the kingdom” (Christ our Pascha, 340). In order to have something to support the iconostasis, we will also be building some walls that will simultaneously create small rooms to serve as sacristies. We will also be adorning our church with icons, lamps, and an altar curtain. 
We’ve already begun working on the church, and have removed the old and barely-functional flourescent lighting, and are currently painting the ceiling. When the painting is done and chandeliers are hung, we will begin building our sanctuary! We’re all very excited about these developments.
You can help us by getting involved and financially supporting our renovations and church beautification. We’ve already done a lot, but there’s a long way to go to meet our goal. Your donation, even a small one, will make a real concrete difference to our small mission community. In addition, a contribution to our church is a beautiful way to commemorate your departed loved ones.

I thank God for all our parishioners and supporters, and we pray for our benefactors and their intentions at every Divine Liturgy. May God richly bless you all!
In Christ,
Fr. Philip
