Presenters tonight: The Orthodox Volunteer Corps – Pittsburgh Team
Orthodox Volunteer Corps (OVC) is a new pan-Orthodox ministry whose mission is to develop and equip Orthodox young adults to lead lives of faithful service for Church and world. OVC does this by providing immersive service with the most vulnerable, formation in faith and leadership, cultivation of community, and engagement in the Church. The inaugural OVC cohort began in Pittsburgh this fall. They originally visited Holy Trinity Church on September 19 to introduce themselves and the program. They are now returning to give us a view into their work. We welcome back Michael Sider-Rose, the CEO of OVC, and the 2022-23 Corps members: Eliza Corder (TN); Noah Mueller (MA); Anastasia Oliver (TN); Ella Powers (OK); Evan Roussey (GA); Paige Sarkaria (MN).

Service of the Akathist Hymn (SG)

Fri 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

The Akathist Hymn is a beautiful treasure of theological poetry set to music in honor of the Most Holy Theotokos. Its main hymn, “O Champion General” (“Ti Ipermacho“) commemorates the rescue of the Byzantine imperial city of Constantinople from attack, which the faithful attributed to the intercessions of the Mother of God. The service is offered in two forms. The first four Fridays each
contain only one segment of the larger poem and are called “Salutations,” from the greeting of the Archangel Gabriel to the Theotokos. The “Akathist Hymn” refers to the entire service with all the stanzas and is offered on the fifth Friday of Lent.
