Lent brings Great Compline and the Pre-sanctified Liturgy. For newcomers, the site has an About Orthodoxy section, catechism series, and a listing of evening classes. The parish is also raising funds for a church hall building project. The church is at 1505 Avenue G, and the site includes a driving directions page.
