St. Barbara Orthodox Church - Announcements & Upcoming Events

Church School and music classes for teens and children will be held on Saturday, February 13 at 4:30 p.m just prior to evening Vespers.

As is our custom in Dallas and Ft. Worth, Orthodox Christians throughout the Metroplex will gather this year every Sunday during Lent, at 6 pm, at a chosen parish for worship and fellowship. For your convenience this year's schedule looks like this:

February 21: Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church

February 28: St. Mary's Romanian Orthodox Church

March 7: Sts. Constantine and Helen Antiochian Orthodox Church

March 14: St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church

March 21: St. Seraphim Orthodox Cathedral

Because of an early Pascha, this year's Pysanky Festival at St. Barbara's will be a bit earlier than in previous years. Some of you have already begun your decorating and preparations. As a reminder we usually shoot now for 70 to 80 dozen decorated chicken eggs to insure a very profitable event, financially. Please mark your calendars. For more detailed information please contact Matushka Christine Zebrun who plans to be able to coordinate this year's event. She may be reached by phone or email.

Recent changes to take note of: as of September 1, Fr. Basil’s full time schedule allows him to be more available to parishioners for confessions and counseling, and more available to accomplish various tasks at the Church. Should you need to speak with him in person during the week, it is recommended that you call the Church, his cell phone or see him personally to schedule an appointment, to insure the availability of a specific time and day, as other appointments may already be on the calendar.

Also, in addition to our normal Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday services, beginning October 1, every Thursday we will read the 9th Hour at 4:45 pm and celebrate Daily Vespers at 5 pm. With this modest change we hope to build up slowly our regular service schedule at the parish.
