Hi all .... I think it's probably been a year since I've visited this forum ... in all honesty I've been so busy, I totally forgot about it. I was Chrismated into the Western Antiochian Orthodox Church a year ago this passed Pascha, so I'm a very young Orthodox after spending 30 years in the charismatic/evangelical church. I still have not gotten over the reverence and holiness in our Mass .... what true worship and what a tremendous blessing to know I am part of God's original church.
Just wanted to stop by and say "hi" and I'll be back again, probably with questions, questions, questions.
Bless you all,
abby

Thank you for your message. Seems to me your experience ought to make all of more grateful for the gift of Faith and also more motivated that we not only take care never to lose it but pray that all people without it may obtain it.
Yes, you have become not only a blessed person but a source of blessing as well.

Thank you for making me feel so welcome. I truly am blessed, both with my church, and my Priest. I've never known such "family-type care." God has certainly placed me right where I needed to be.
In Christ,
abby

Welcome back amber, nice to see posts from you again.
Many years,
