Zaccheus Sunday - Hours 9:10 - Divine Liturgy 9:30 - Coffee Hour

Sunday, January 29, 2023 - 09:30 AM
We must all begin with the simple desire to see Christ. Today we hear the delightful story of Zacchaeus who was a sinner; but, knowing Christ was coming to his town, he had an ardent desire to see Him. Being of short stature, Zacchaeus climbed a tree enabling him to see above the crowd. Christ saw him and called him down and visited his house.   Zacchaeus repented and became a true disciple of Christ. Everything begins with the simple desire to see Christ.
