St. Elias Orthodox Church (425 Cherry Way, Ellwood City), joining together with fellow Orthodox Christians worldwide, will start Great Lent on Monday, March 14. These special 40 days, followed by Holy Week, are the spiritual preparation for the Feast of the Resurrection of Christ. A time for repentance, it’s also a time of joyfulness and renewal of minds and hearts, with prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
Please consult St. Elias Church’s website at www.sainteliasellwood.webs.com to view the monthly schedule of services, including those for Great Lent, Holy Week, and Orthodox Easter (Pascha) celebrated on May 1. All are welcome to attend. You may also contact Fr. John Schmidt, pastor, for more information at 724-758-0717.
