Morning Service at 9:45 AM
Divine Liturgy at 10:30 AM
The Sunrise Service will begin at 9:45 AM and the Divine Liturgy will be celebrated at 10:15 AM this Sunday, March 19, 2023. The fifth Sunday of Great Lent is called the Sunday of the Judge and is based on a parable of the widow and the judge mentioned in the Gospel of St. Luke (18:1-8). The parable tells the story of a widow who repeatedly came to a judge to plead for her rights. For a long period of time the judge refused to act, but in the end, he fulfilled her request, to put an end to her continuous appeals. After telling this parable, the Lord assures everyone, that if a man as corrupt and unfair as this judge decided in favor of the widow, then God surely would judge in favor of his own people and grant the requests of all those who submit to Him through prayer.
Communion is not offered during Lent. If you can’t join us in person, you can view services at www.stmaryyettem.org and on Facebook.
