Holy Week and Pascha 2019
Paschal Agape Feast, 2019
We have a tradition that on the Sunday after Pascha, we gather at First Landing State Park where we celebrate the Paschal Vespers, have an egg hunt, and enjoy the Agape Feast (a.k.a. a potluck.)

Lift up your heads, O ye gates
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.
