Great and Holy Friday
Come, let us bless Joseph of eternal memory, who came by night to Pilate and begged for the Life of all:
"Give me this Stranger, who has no place to lay His head:
Give me this Stranger, Whom an evil disciple betrayed to death.
Give me this Stranger, whom His mother saw hanging upon the cross, and with a mother's sorrow cried, weeping:
'Woe is me, O my Child, Light of my eyes and Beloved of my bosom, for what Simeon foretold in the temple now has come to pass:
A sword has pierced my heart; but change my grief to gladness by Thy resurrection.'"
We worship The Passion, O Christ! And Thy Holy Resurrection.

Church School Service Project
This morning, our church school students participated in a pre-Lenten service project. They worked on an icon frame craft, which Fr. Bill will then distribute during his Lenten visits to our parish members who can no longer come to church. It is a wonderful way to show them that we are thinking of them and they can stay connected with our youth and our parish.
