Wedding Service Fix & Finished Services

Wedding Service Fixes:

• On page 8 of the Holy Matrimony document, the missing word "vine" has been added to "Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine..."
• On pages 12 & 13, the "Amen" is chanted during the crowning
• On pages 15 & 16, the Alleluia is sung only once
• On page 21, there is no "Amen" sung "To Thee, O Lord"

The complete and finalized Services of Reception into theh Church (Baptism/Chrismation/New Mother services) are now available for two-sided printing and in booklet form (which requires MS Word).

We've taken the OCA "Baptism and Chrismation Services" document, cleaned it up & added music interspersed with the text - this is now available on our Liturgical Resources page.

We have posted these complete services:

• Matins of Great & Holy Saturday

Also, we have recently discovered that St Symeon in Birmingham AL (OCA) has posted their versions of all the Holy Week & Pascha services on their website: Here.

Hello Again

We been lax in posting to this blog (I'm not sure how many of you actually look here anymore)! That said, we will begin again posting information about updates to our liturgical resources page to keep a record of what has been done, if for no other reason.

We recently completed a revision of our services for the departed which now include the complete funeral service as well as the Panikhida and Trisagion services. We could also make available a version of this ready to print in booklet form (5.5 x 8.5 inches) if anyone is interested.

Music for this year's Lazarus Saturday has been posted and also a new version of the Paschal Troparion set a Georgian melody - this really sounds good if a man's trio sings it!

Let us know if you have any request for music to be done.
