Dear parishioners, brothers and sisters!

This year our temple unexpectedly needs expensive repair work. We urgently need to:
-replace a rusty underground sewer pipe,
-install a new boiler and water heater,
-replace the leaking church roof, cornices and gutters.
All of these projects require significant capital funds—about $50,000.
Our parish exists exclusively thanks to your donations and we simply do not have other sources of financial assistance. Our church is the only Orthodox church of the ROCOR in the entire state of Colorado.
We ask everyone to take part in this good cause with financial help and your prayers.
Donations for the renovation of the temple can be made in one of these ways:
-Credit or debit card (at bookstore),
-Via PayPal using this link or QR code below,
-Cash.
May God bless you for your generous help!
The Parish Council.

Great Lent: March 3- April 19, 2025
Great Lent is the 40-day season of spiritual preparation that comes before the most important Feast of the Christian year, Holy Pascha. The purpose of fasting is to remind us of the Scriptural teaching, “Man does not live by bread alone.” The needs of the body are nothing compared to the needs of the soul. Above all else, we need God, Who provides everything for both the body and the soul. Fasting teaches us to depend on God more fully.

Christians throughout the world celebrate the Feast of the Resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. On the day of the Resurrection, we give thanks to God who has granted us victory through Jesus Christ, our Lord, and put an end to the power of sin, which brought death to our Lord. Jesus Christ is the first who rose from the dead. He destroyed death by His death, and opened unto us the doors of paradise, and bestowed upon us the fullness of life and of great mercy. The power of the Resurrection of Christ transforms our weakness, and releases within us the dynamic of growing into the image and likeness of our Risen Lord.
The Church of the Risen Christ is not an institution with human organization; it is a new life with the Risen Lord. The light of Christ enlightens those who seek their Lord with faithfulness and with love. All faithful believers express the good news of the Resurrection every time they recite the symbol of the faith, the Nicene Creed, which declares that our Lord, Jesus Christ, after his death and burial, “rose again, according to the Scriptures.” This particular expression is taken from 1 Cor. 15:3-4. St. Paul writes: “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, that He was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures.”
