Week at a Glance 9/18-9/22 Nativity of the Theotokos

Hello and welcome to the new week!

Welcome to an exciting and promising week ahead! As Orthodox Christians, we celebrate the The Nativity of the Theotokos. This feast day teaches us the importance of divine providence, reminding us that God's plan unfolds in His own time and way. It also encourages us to embrace humility and purity of heart, as exemplified by the Holy Mother, in our own spiritual journeys.
