A conference weekend focused on Christian missions both domestic and foreign with V. Rev. Fr. Peter Gillquist and V. Rev. Gordon Walker.

Project Russia

St. Nicholas Orthodox Church, in conjunction with our sister parish, Three Hierarchs Greek Orthodox Church, and Judah Christian School, conducted a winter clothing drive. The clothing was shipped to the Holy Trinity St. Seraphim of Sarov Diveevo Monastery and will benefit the local orphanage patronized by the nuns.  View the photo gallery.

Many thanks

Many thanks to all who helped organize our wonderful weekend celebration with Bishop MARK. Especially Judy Khazoum who organized the banquet, Suzanna Cunningham who took care of registrations and found hotel rooms when there were none to be found. Philip & Carol Buriak and Martin Bargon who organized the slide show and evening activities. The choir for Vespers was marvelous. Fr. James is especially blessed by the gift of the beautiful cross from the parish. Congratulations also to the Reader John and his wife Nancy and Khouria Linda for 10+ years of service to the building of the parish.

New Website

The first stage of a new website for St. Nicholas has been completed.  The new site is based on the open source CMS, Drupal.  Drupal allows for many advanced features, such as the RSS feeds that provide the content on the right of the page, while maintaining an easy to use and update interface.  Continue to check back, as more features are scheduled to be added.
