On Sunday, following Divine Liturgy and after we enjoyed a delicious Maslenitsa prepared by Matushka Lana, we attended Forgiveness Vespers in the newly painted interior of our church. With grateful hearts, we all thanked God for His direction and asked Him for forgiveness. The service ended after asking for forgiveness from each other. "Surely the LORD is in this place; and I did not know it." And he [Jacob] was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven." (Gen 28:16-17) (RSV) Other pictures are in the Photo Gallery.
