"The bodies of fellow human beings must be treated with greater care than our own. Christian love teaches us to give our brethren not only spiritual gifts, but material gifts as well. Even our last shirt, our last piece of bread must be given to them. Personal almsgiving and the most wide-ranging social work are equally justifiable and necessary. The way to God lies through love of other people and there is no other way. At the Last Judgement I shall not be asked if I was successful in my ascetic exercises or how many prostrations I made in the course of my prayers. I shall be asked, did I feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and the prisoners: that is all I shall be asked." |
If you've never been to an Orthodox Church before, there are some things we want to share with you that will help you better understand what is going on and what we are about. Visitors unfamiliar with the Orthodox style of worship will benefit from reading A Visitor's Guide to the Divine Liturgy. Feel free to contact our parish priest, Fr. Tim Sawchak, or our lay leaders with any questions about ministries and activites at Holy Trinity parish. As our members have remarked about their own experience, we think you, too, will discover our church to be warm and inviting, a comfortable community within which to seek the Kingdom of God. We look forward to your visit with us.
