CEMETERY BLESSINGS ON ST. THOMAS SUNDAY.....

May 8, 2016

Cemetery blessing was held at East Ridgelawn on St. Thomas Sunday, which was also Mother’s Day.  A Panikhida was held in the chapel on the grounds for all those who were remembered by their families and friends; and following the service, individual graves were blessed.  In the morning our appreciation was shown to all those women who were in church, and here it was fitting that we visit and pray for those wonderful mothers who had fallen asleep in the Lord.  Pictures follow.

Akathist to the Holy Cross - 6:00 PM

For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart."   (1 Cor 1:18-19)
