I am working on another post which will give a little more detail into our current journey as Catechumen’s in the Orthodox Church, however I wanted to update you on some upcoming happenings.

There is not an Orthodox Church in Greenville, however from time to time we have been holding services in our house with help from friends at St. John’s in Indianapolis and most recently our Priest Father Joseph Gibson.

This weekend a large group from St. John’s will be coming down to celebrate services, retreat, pray, hang out! The main “event” for the weekend is going to be a Vesper’s service held at St. Paul’s Free Methodist Church in Greenville.

I have coffee most mornings with Rev. Rick McPeak (St. Paul’s) and John Massena, and we pray together, share our journey’s together, and of course have coffee. They have always offered there building for us to hold services, and one morning over coffee we decided it would be nice to have a joint service with St. Paul’s in which we could celebrate in a church and they would have a chance to see and participate in an Orthodox Service.

This Saturday at 4pm we are going to be celebrating Vespers at St. Paul’s Free Methodist, followed by a Potluck and time of Question and Answer. It sounds like there could be several there and we are looking forward to this event. It sounds like there could be anywhere from 10-20 from Indianapolis, which is exciting, and hopefully several from St. Paul’s, the college and town. I have a former Greenville resident/friend who is currently living in Spring Arbor and is trying to make the trip down. It should be a good weekend.

I will be sure to post next week following this weekend’s festivities!! Pray for us!

P.S. - Pictures are of our good friends the Glieges and Beechams from Indianapolis down for a weekend of services and hanging out. The other pictures are of Father Joseph Gibson, our Priest, and St. Paul's Free Methodist Church where we will be holding the service this weekend.
