  • Thursday Night Talks - 6:30pm Saint James House

    Fr. Marc, with Eric and Hannah, will host this time of discussion and casual conversation around the living room fireplace, about topics all Christians are challenged with in our modern world. We will approach these topics from the Orthodox perspective, but this doesn’t mean we will always come to perfect conclusions on every topic. Rather we will listen and learn from others and try to have an open mind about some things. The format will be to read a short something together followed by a discussion. Weekly articles can be found at the following link.
    THESE TALKS WILL RESUEM SOMETIME IN THE FALL SEASON.

Excerpts from Christian writers Past and Present

God appears openly to those who look for Him while hiding to those who run from Him. God gives signs that are visible to those who search for Him and yet invisible to those who are indifferent to Him. To those who wish to see, God gives sufficient light, to those who do not wish to see, God gives sufficient darkness. - Blaise Pascal, 17th century
