Bright Saturday


Christ is Risen!


Arrived safely at St. Tikhon's last night after a 66-knot tail wind aided my delayed flight to arrive in time for me to make my connection.  I was overjoyed to be able to attend one final Bright Week Liturgy this morning in the Monastery Church, the last service of this most precious week in the year. The abbot of the monastery, Fr. Sergius, served the liturgy with Bishop Tikhon in attendance.  The choir was composed of members of the brotherhood as well as seminarians from across the street.  I have a few days to acclimate before they put me to work.  Thanks for your prayers.

  3. Have been doing some web surfing for St Tikhon and I can totally see you there. Also taking this trip is definitely classified as taking action toward your desires! Looking forward to hearing more! If you come back to Kitsap County you can always get a job with Kitsap Public Works - eh?!!
