Saint Luke offers Sunday School classes for adults and children during the academic year.  We often send a few children to Camp Saint Raphael during the summer. Though we are a small parish, we also collect offerings to help people in need during Advent and at other times.  One such effort is the Sister Diocese Program between the Archdiocese of Bosra-Hauran (Syria) and our Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America.  The Orthodox Christians who today live in much of the territory once known as Arabia Petraea – descendants of those converted to faith in Christ Jesus by St. Timon – comprise the faithful of the Archdiocese of Bosra, Hauran, Jabal al-Arab and the Golan. The present “angel of Bosra and successor to St. Timon” is Metropolitan Saba (Esper). One of the most venerable Archdioceses of our Patriarchate, the Archdiocese of Bosra now finds itself facing very difficult times. Due to the frequency of warfare in that area, the occupation of much of its territory by a neighboring unfriendly nation, and the resultant unemployment and poverty, most of its people are economic refugees, having relocated to Damascus or departed for the Americas, Australia, Europe or the Gulf States. In a gesture of Christian love and support for Metropolitan Saba and his flock, the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America has committed itself to a “Sister Diocese” relationship with the Archdiocese of Bosra-Hauran.

Homily for the Fourth Sunday of Great Lent in the Orthodox Church
13 Apr 2024 at 1:23pm

Hebrews 6:13-20; Mark 9:17-31

            If we have embraced the spiritual practices of Lent with any level of integrity for the last few weeks, the weakness of our faith has surely become apparent to us.  Our minds wander when we pray and...
