A lenten Retreat

Bay Area Friends!

Holy Virgin Cathedral (where St. John Maximovitch lies in repose) is inviting all bay area young adults for the day!!
(Age not important)
Haven't you always wanted to visit: well now we can do it together and participate in ENGLISH!!

March 25, Sunday, which is NOT their Annunciation bc they are Old Calendar.

It's still in the works, so just SAVE THE DATE FOR NOW.

But here is a likely schedule:

Divine Liturgy in English.
First speaker following that (name of speaker is yet to be determined).
Break
Second speaker, Dr. Matthew Steenberg (they like him at the BBC).
A choir concert
Vespers

Dr. Matthew Steenberg, a 2001 Marshall Scholar from St. Olaf's College is a patristics professor from Oxford, who will give a talk on making the liturgy come to life for the worshiper.

There'll be Lenten food and stuff. The group this is aimed at is 18-30-year-old Orthodox people, but anyone is welcome to come.

Unfortunately, it's a bit too far to travel, but it sounds wonderful. May it be fruitful to you and your beloved.
