The day we’ve been waiting for has finally come! Fr. Nevsky Everett, together with his family, will be here on Sunday March 27th for his first official service as our new chaplain and we couldn’t more excited to welcome them. Our choir, under the direction of Andrew Noble, will sing specially prepared songs in honor of the event.

It is also Mothering Sunday. While Mothering Sunday has become a time of celebrating mothers and women more generally, it originally began as a strictly religious holiday in the 16th century. “Mother” referred to “mother church,” meaning the main church or cathedral in an area, and people would return to their mother church for a special service on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It seems somehow fitting that we are having this special service with Fr. Nevsky at the Church of the Resurrection as Bucharest becomes his new home.

Please plan to stay after the service for an extended time of fellowship so that everyone present can meet Fr. Nevsky.
