Hello everyone!
This coming Monday (November 15th) is going to be an exciting meeting for the U of T OCF, as we are hosting Father Nicolas Giroux from Holy Cross Romanian Orthodox Monastery in Toronto. He will be serving Vespers, the Orthodox evening service, from 7 pm to around 8 pm, and then afterward we will be having our regular bi-weekly book study of Chapter 4 of Beginning to Pray until around 9 pm.
We will meet in the U of T Multi-faith Centre (569 Spadina Ave), in the 3rd floor Quiet Room. During the book study, light refreshments will be served.
For those who are interested in knowing more about the Vespers service, please look at this link (http://www.oca.org/OCchapter.asp?SID=2&ID=61) to read about the reasons behind the evening worship, as well as the specific prayers that are sung.
If anyone is interested in singing during the service, (and we would love for you to join us!), then please come a bit before the service starts, around 6:15 or so, as we will hold a small practice beforehand.
Regarding the book study: As always, if you have not done the weekly reading, please still come! The conversations are always applicable to those who haven’t read the chapter.
Looking forward to seeing you…
