23 Mar

Great Compline (SG)

Mon 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Used only during Lent, this larger version of the Compline or “After Dinner” service contains many special penitential prayers and hymns. Hear the chanting of the beautiful Lenten hymn, “Lord of the Powers, be with us, for in times of distress, we have no other help but You, Lord of the Powers, have mercy on us!” All those who attend are able to participate in the many readings of this service if they desire. This is a great way to start each week as we re-enter the depths of Lent following Sunday’s bright celebration.

Service of the Akathist Hymn (Note: Moved to HT)

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.
