Have you ever had questions concerning the Church’s interpretation of scripture?

Have you wondered how a two thousand year old collection of books is relevant for us in today’s world?

Together, let us journey towards a deeper knowledge of our Lord through the study of His word!

St. Nicholas Orthodox Church

Winter 2010 Adult Christian Education Study Group

Each Thursday night, beginning January 7, 2010

Daily Vespers 6:30 PM

Bible Study 7:00 PM

5458 Park Ave., Bridgeport, CT

This year, we will be studying the epistles of
St. James, St. Peter, St, John and St. Jude.

This study is not a lecture, but rather a reading and group discussion on how the Church brings us this scripture, why it was written for us, what it means and how we can apply it today.

There are no prerequisites for this class!  Bring yourselves, and a heart open to learning!

For more information, please call (203) 209-6725

Christ is in our midst!  He is, and ever shall be!

As Orthodox Christians, we greet each other with these joyous words, celebrating the birth, death, and resurrection of our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ. You are cordially invited to join us in our celebration and thanksgiving to God, “Our Father”, for His great gift of adoption in His Son and the Holy Spirit. The central service of our rich liturgical service schedule is the Sunday Divine Liturgy at 10 AM; following the liturgy we welcome all to join us for fellowship of Coffee Hour at our parish hall. Please come and introduce yourself to Father Romanos, Deacon Sami, and any member of our parish family!!!

As you will discover by reading the history of our parish, the many families of Saint Nicholas are from Arabic countries. We are proud to share this rich cultural heritage with families and individuals of all ages, ethnicities, and races, who desire the anchor of the original Christian Community in our rootless society. We are a parish of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, serving Southern Connecticut.

We are committed to living the Orthodox Christian faith in Christ through Worship, Witness, Service, Fellowship, and Education. We warmly welcome all who are searching for a parish community in doctrinal and sacramental succession with the Apostles, the Church of the Saints, biblical, ancient, and modern, the Church in which the Holy Bible was written, the Church that defends and promotes “the faith which was once delivered to all the saints” (Jude 1:3), the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
