Beginning of the Day Prayers
"Lord Have Mercy. Having Risen from sleep I run to You, O Master, for You love mankind...and I rush to accomplish Your work..."
"The Greatest of these is Love"
"Stewardship is Everything we do after we say 'I Believe'. Stewardship is about how we live our lives and make our choices". It is a choice we make, everyday, in many different ways. Stewardship is saying "I am responsible" for supporting my church, my faith, my community, spiritually, financially, and materially, with my time, and talents, and resources. If you believe, what choices have YOU made today to support your church, your faith, your church community?
"...by Your goodness peace may return to all people..." ...... Nothing is more basic to Christian life than prayer. It is the foundation of all other response, not an alternative to response. Please find time each day to be aware of wars now going on in the world and to pray for peace.

Welcome to St. Nicholas Orthodox Church!
We are a parish of the Orthodox Christian Faith which was established on the day of Holy Pentecost in the Year 33 AD. Our parish community is a member of the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese of the U.S.A. which is an autonomous diocese under the spiritual protection of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. Our services are in English, with the occasional church Slavonic and Greek on Holy days and feast days!
Through this web site, we are pleased to be able to introduce you to the worship and fellowship as it is expressed in the life of our Parish. If you are a new member of our parish, or are considering membership, these web pages will acquaint you with what our parish offers.
If you have any questions about our worship, or the Orthodox Church in general, please see Fr. Robert Prepelka; he will gladly answer any of your inquires to the best of his ability. He looks forward to meeting you. At our best, we are known for our welcoming attitude, hospitality, prayerfulness, generosity and compassion. At our worst, we are sinners, but we’re working out our salvation, together, and could use your help. If you are looking for a church home, we hope you will consider making St Nicholas Orthodox Church that place. Learn More
"Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law.
Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent".
~St. John Chrysostom

The sign of the Cross shows us the forgiving, patient, sanctifying and salvific love of Christ.
The cross was prefigured in all the history of salvation, from the Garden of Eden to Noah's Ark, continuing to the Prophet Jonah.
We've selected eight of the most significant symbols of the Holy Cross, which are remembered in the church hymns.
Which of these symbols did you know?
