O Come, let us Worship and bow down before our King and God.
O Come, let us worship and bow down before Christ, our King and God.
O Come, let us worship and bow down to Christ Himself, our King and God.

This invitation marks the beginning of each day for the Orthodox Church. It comes from the office of Vespers, and it expresses the attitude which is at the heart of Orthodoxy. The Worship of God - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, - is fundamental to the life and spirit of the Orthodox Church.

FAST OF THE DORMITION

A two-weeklong fast preceeds the Great Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos, which is celebrated on August 15th. During these two weeks, the Church guides us to abstain from meat and dairy; to confess our sins; and to attend the Paraklesis Services (Supplication to the Theotokos), as follows:

Paraklsesis Services: On Mondays and Fridays at 6:00 p.m. (Friday, August 1st; Monday, August 4th; Friday, August 8th; Monday, August 11th)

Confessions may be heard after the Paraklesis and after the Divine Liturgy on August 6th, the Feast of the Transfiguration.

Feast of the Transfiguration of our Lord:  Wednesday, August 6th.  Divine Liturgy, 9:30 a.m. 

Feast of the Dormition of the Theotokos: Friday, August 15th.  Orthros, 8:45 a.m. Divine Liturgy, 9:30 a.m.
