Now I have to recreate the header - give me some time and I'll have the new one up. Prescott Orthodox/St. George Church [prescottorthodox.org]

Well, I finally got the new header up on the site, after we finally received notice of our heavenly patron, St. George.

See it here: http://prescottorthodox.org

This thread is wonderful. So many sites present so many pictures of exquisite Churches and Spirit filled people. The information about the Liturgies and sacraments and their celebration can only be the seed of believers. Thank you all for that!

If I may, I'd like to share a site from the Latin Church. Our parish, St. Maurice in Dania Beach, Florida has a new web site, stmaurice.org. We are in the Roman Archdiocese of Miami.

I am excited to share the site with you.

It is multimedia. There are videos about some of our ministries such as our hunger program and Pax Christi and our pastor has taped messages. There are albums and we tried to convey who we are and what we are about!

The loss highlighted on the home page of the site is the closing of Resurrection Church as part of some church closings and consolidations in our Archdiocese. The caring is shared sorrow and anguish felt by both congregations involved. St. Maurice's boundaries will include the area making up Resurrection until this coming Thursday, October 1.

Please pray for the spiritual well being and growth of us all!

Back to the web site. I hope that you find it interesting.

I've been a member of the forum for a number of years and wanted to share this with all of my friends here.

I hope that I'm not acting in appropriately in posting this information. If it is not appropriate, I ask that the moderator remove it!

If you have insights which would help us as we develop the site, let me know, Please.

Thank you!

Steve

Steve,

Not at all inappropriate - and nice to see a post from you, it's been a long time.

I'm having no luck getting the site to load, although the url is correct. I've been having server issues for a week now though and it may just be me - I'd like to know if anyone else was successful in opening the link.

Many years,

Neil

Tonight, no problem accessing it - so, we can write my experience of last night off to the combo of server issues and the fact that IE has decided that it no longer intends to function on my PC.

Steve,

A very easy site to navigate and both the quantity and quality of information offered was impressive. Not much question either as to why the parish survived closures in the archdiocese - its vibrancy and commitment is evident throughout the site.

Many years,

Neil

And that is the purpose of the website, I believe.

To reveal your community to your visitors. That is, after all, what they are looking for.

Who are you, what do you do, is it safe to be myself there?

Bless, Father John,

Well said!

And wonderful to see that your temple and its faithful have been blessed with the patronage of Saint George.

Many years,

Neil

Dear Father John,

Thank you for your remarks about our site. Like your own it is new and it's good to see that others appreciate what it does.

I join the others in this tread who congratulate you and your parish on being put under the protection of St. George. May your community share in the strength of his defense of the Faith.
Pray for our community as we do for you and yours.

Steve
