THE GLORIOUS AND LIFE-GIVING RESURRECTION
AGAPE SERVICE, 11:00 a.m.
At some point on Sunday, everyone gathers once more for Great Vespers. With lighted candles they sing, “Christ is Risen.” The people greet one another with the salutation, “Christ is Risen”, which is an-swered, “Truly He is Risen”. In the Great Vespers, the Gospel of John (20:19-25) is read in various lan-guages, proclaiming the Good News of Resurrection all over the universe. For the next forty days, the
Orthodox Church commemorates the Resurrection of Christ.

Dear Alec,
On behalf of the Triangle Orthodox Chorale, I wish to commend you and the entire community of St. Barbara for your excellent planning and preparations in hosting our chorale Concert of Holy Paschal Music.
Our choristers worked very hard over the past several weeks in rehears-ing the program that so many enjoyed last Friday evening. It was a pleasure to especially see many non-Orthodox congregants in attendance. As you may know, the mission of our chorale is to minister to not only our own Orthodox faithful, but also to non-Orthodox, in teaching everyone more about the special music that enhances worship in our Holy Church.
Total monies raised from our concert to St. Barbara were $1620.
We wish to thank the entire community of St. Barbara for their support of the music ministry of our church.
Kali Anastasi,
Elia Nicholas Director, Triangle Orthodox Chorale
