Слава Иисусу Христу!<br /><br />Одна из важнейших задач нашего прихода - это попечение обо всех духовных нуждах всех наших прихожан.  Поэтому, во время Великого Поста, в нашем Свято-Иоанновском  храме снова будет проводиться вечерня на церковнославянском языке.  Это богослужение состоится в субботу, 13-го Март в 18.00 ч.  Тех, кто желают петь в хоре по-церковнославянски во время этого богослужения, просим быть в церкви не позже 18:00 ч. чтобы ознакомиться с песнопениями и чтениями.   <br /><br />После вечерни будет совершена общая исповедь и каждому будет предоставлена возможность личной исповеди у священника, который владеет русским языком. Все кому русский язык родной приглашаются провести этот вечер в богослужебной молитве в нашем храме и духовно подготовить себя к великопостной исповеди. <br /><br />После этого все приглашаются на краткую «чашку чая» в приходском зале.  Если у вас есть какие-либо вопросы об этом, пожалуйста позвоните мне по номеру 631-281-5960 или обратитесь ко мне после воскресной литургии.<br /><br />Ваш во Христе,<br />Священник Ионафан Иванов<br /> St. John the Theologian Orthodox Church http://www.stjt.org/news_090312_1.html The Passion Cantata for Haitian Earthquake Relief http://www.stjt.org/news_091102_2.html Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0500 <div><img border="0" hspace="5" vspace="0" align="left" src="http://www.stjt.org/display_image.php?ext=JPG&relativeimage=images/Temple shots/OCA-PR-Concert.JPG&archive=0&final_h=133&final_w=200&percent=200"><p><strong><u><font color="#ff0000">DATE: Saturday, March 20, 20010</font></u></strong><br /><strong><font color="#ff0000">Time: Vespers - 6 pm, Concert - 7:30 pm <br />Cathedral of the Protection of the Holy Virgin, NYC<br /></font></strong><br />In an effort help the orphaned, the sick, the suffering and the homeless of Haiti, the Cathedral of the Holy Virgin Protection, 59 East Second St., New York, NY, will host a benefit concert on Saturday, March 20, 2010 at 7:30 p.m.</p><p>All proceeds from the concert will be sent to International Orthodox Christian Charities [IOCC], the Baltimore-based pan-Orthodox humanitarian agency.</p><p>Vespers with special petitions for the Haitian people and the relief workers will precede the concert.</p><p>The concert will feature the world premier of a new Passion Cantata, incorporating hymns of the Crucifixion from Great and Holy Friday. <strong><u>The cantata, based on ancient Russian and Georgian chant and sung <i>a cappella</i> in English, is the work of Robert Sirico, who composed it specifically for the occasion.</u></strong></p><p>A select chamber choir, formed for the occasion, will perform under the direction of musician Nicholas Reeves.</p><p>A $20.00 donation <i>--</i> all of which will be sent to IOCC <i>--</i> is suggested.</p><p>For additional information visit <a href="http://nycathedral.org/" target="_external">nycathedral.org</a>.</p></div> St. John the Theologian Orthodox Church http://www.stjt.org/news_091102_2.html
