ΚΤΡΙΑΚΗ ΙΖ΄ΜΑΣΘΑΙΟΤ (Ματθ. 15:21-28) 6 Υεβρουαρίου 2011
λᾶτε νά ἀπολαύσετε ἕνα εχάριστο ἀπόγευμα καί βραδάκι, κάτω ἀπό τίς
πυκνές φυλλωσιές τῶν δένδρων, μέ λίγο κοκκινέλι καί ρετσίνα. Μέ ζεστούς
καί νόστιμους μεζέδες. λᾶτε νά ἀναπολήστε γιά λίγο τά πανηγύρια τῆς
πατρίδας ὅπως τ’ἀφίσαμε. λᾶτε νά πάρετε μαζί μας μιά βόλτα στήν πίστα
ἤ κάτω ἀπό τά δένδρα, ὅσο κρατοῦν τά πόδια μας.
Ἀγρυπνία
Κάνουμε γνωστό ατή τήν Παρασκευή, 11 Υεβρουαρίου καί ὥρα 9 τό
βράδυ, θά λάβει χώρα εἰς τόν Ἱερό Ναό μας Ἀγρυπνία. ᾶς πληροφοροῦμε
12
ὅτι ατή τήν φορά θά τελειώσει ἡ Θεία Λειτουργία στίς 12 τά μεσάνυχτα,
διότι ὁ Ἱερέας μας θά λειτουργήσει καί τό άββατο τό βράδυ στήν ἀγγλική
γλῶσσα.
Θεία Λειτουργία στήν Ἀγγλική
Κάνουμε γνωστό ὅτι τό ἐρχόμενο άββατο 12 Υεβρουαρίου, θά τελέσωμε
τήν Θεία Λειτουργία στήν ἀγγλική, ἀπό τίς 6-7 τό βράδυ. Παρακαλοῦμε
ὅλους, ἰδιεταίρως ὅμως τήν νεολαία, νά ἔλθουν καί νά συμμετάσχουν στήν
Θεία Λειτουργία.
