It was wonderful to have Father John here to serve the Divine Liturgy, and we are very grateful to him for making the trip from Houston and to Fr. Christopher for blessing it. We were able to have our altar set up behind the iconostas for the first time and to receive the Holy Mysteries.
Fr. John also preached a sermon on the patient and prayerful endurance of Sts. Joachim and Anna, and how God sent, instead of barrenness, a child who was to become the Theotokos. He likewise urged worshippers to pray patiently and to work for a thriving Russian Orthodox presence here in the KC area.
