On Memorial Sunday, we held special Patriotic Worship service, paying tribute to all those who offered their live in defense of our country so that we may enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted. The worship Service closed with the sound of Taps. On the first Sunday in June we commemorated the Ascension of our Lord, and dwelt on the subject of the ascension from three different viewpoint: What I the ascension of our Lord means to us on the historical level, the practical level and on the promise of the future. On June 12th we commemorated the birthday of the Christian Church and the fulfillment of the promise of Jesus in the giving of the Holy Spirit. In accordance with our tradition, Holy Communion was observed.
