At the Palm Sunday Divine Liturgy,
we welcomed Jacob Atkins into our Mission Community...
Jacob and his sponsor, Gennadiy Nezhdanov
"Blessed is God, Who desires that all men be saved and come
to the knowledge of the truth, now and ever and unto ages of ages."
"Grant that he may sincerely, irrevocably and without
hypocrisy unite himself
to Your Holy Catholic Church, and truly accept and confess the Orthodox Catholic faith.
Number him with Your chosen flock, and unite him to Your Holy Church."
"The seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit. Amen."
"The seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit. Amen."
"The servant of God Jacob, partakes of the precious
and most holy Body and Blood
of our Lord and God and Savior, Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins and for eternal
life."
"Bow your heads unto the Lord..."
"The Lord said: If any man would come after me, let
him deny himself
and take up his cross and follow me." (Mark 8:34)
"Welcome the servant of God, Jacob!"
God grant you many years, Jacob!
