Our purpose is to develop among the women a spirit of Christian leadership, awareness, and commitment; to foster a genuine expression of love and service through works of charity; and to install a sense of fellowship and a deeper understanding of our Holy Orthodox Faith.
The Antiochian Women meet once a month, rotating the meetings between the home of a parishioner one month (typically, on a Saturday afternoon) and then on-site at the church the next (again, on a Sunday following the Divine Liturgy).
The date and time of meetings are posted on our parish calendar.
All women in the church 18 years and above are encouraged to participate.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
O Christ our God, we are all pledged to serve You with our whole being.
Grant us the strength to continue our work for You through our Holy Church, always seeking to serve without striving for praise or personal gain, and without judging others.
Keep us from the temptation of complacency, believing we have worked enough and may now choose rest.
Help us to persevere in doing what is right and to remember that our many activities are not the main thing in life. The most important thing is to have our hearts directed and attuned to You.
For You are the fountain of life, and to You we ascribe glory: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
