What to Expect

Orthros (our first service on Sunday) starts at 9:00AM and will flow directly in to the Divine Liturgy (our main service where we receive Holy Communion) at 10:00AM. If you can make it to Orthros you will be blessed, but if not that's okay! Liturgy is when most people arrive, and is the most important service you don't want to miss!

Holy Communion is reserved only for those who are Baptized and Christmated Orthodox Christians, in good standing with The Church and prepared to receive. This does not mean we exclude anyone though! We encourage everyone to pursue Truth, and become Orthodox so that you too may receive Holy Communion with the whole Body of The Church.

At the end of the service, Father Theodore will distribute the Antidoron, or blessed bread. This is for everyone, regardless of your standing with The Church, and serves as a bless for you on Sunday. Please feel free to come forward and receive the Antidoron.

How to Come

Orthodox Church dress code is what you might call your "Sunday Best." Women usually wear skirts or dresses, men wear long pants and collared shirts. If you've got questions please reach our to htrinityroa@verizon.net and we will get your questions answered.

Our Common Services

"Even if we stand at the very summit of virtue, it is by mercy that we shall be saved."
—St. John Chrysostom

Vespers

Saturday - 5:00PM

Vespers is the first prayer service after sunset, and marks the beginning of the liturgical day (cf. Genesis 1:5). The prayers, hymns, and rituals of vespers commemorate the beauty of creation, the fall of mankind into sin, and the hope of redemption and return to Paradise through Jesus Christ. Vespers is celebrated on Saturday night at Holy Trinity, and Fr. Theodore typically hears confessions afterwards.

Orthros

Sunday - 9:00AM

Orthros (known in the West as "Matins") is the first prayer service after dawn. During Sunday morning Orthros, we commemorate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ by reading the Gospel, chanting hymns, and commemorating the saints who have gone before us. The prayers of Orthros are ancient and filled with deep meaning and they communicate the very essence of the Church’s theology in light of the Risen Lord.

Divine Liturgy

Sunday - 10:00AM

The Divine Liturgy is the most sacred service of the week for Orthodox Christians, as it is when we commemorate the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. During the Divine Liturgy we read the Gospel, listen to a sermon, and receive Holy Communion—which we believe is mystically transformed into the Body and Blood of Jesus. We believe that this sacred worship unites us to God, one another, and all those who have gone before us and now live with Him in Heaven.
