Theophany Eve - 01/05/10

On Tuesday, January 5th our parish hosted a Holy Supper in anticipation of our celebration of our Lord's Theophany. Later in the evening we were joined by even more faithful from our community at the Great Compline and Great Blessing of Water service. We also blessed icons of St. Stephen made by our Sunday School students. May our Lord, "Who blesses and sanctifies all things" allow this blessed water to be an aid to our salvation and the fulfilling of His Gospel, as we drink it, annoint ourselves with it, and consecrate every aspect of our lives (homes, cars, and our very bodies) through it.
