Good afternoon St. Nicholas family!
We are blessed today with many online resources for our Orthodox Christian faith available in the English language. Please use these links below as opportunities to learn, to connect to liturgical services around the world, and to listen to Orthodox music. Included are also links to podcasts, prayers, and services that you can pray at home.
These are great resources to help you cultivate your "little church" at home! If you have any questions about these links or how to engage with your faith at home, please don't hesitate to contact me at w.sam.williams@gmail.com.
