My postings have been a little shorter than normal lately because we are preparing for our Grand Opening Celebration of our new storefront. Yes, we have made it from a smaller, darker, dingier storefront to a storefront in downtown Melbourne, Florida! We have been busy painting, decorating, and arranging the new place, even though we have already started to have worship there.
But, I would like to invite all who read this blog to come to our Grand Opening Celebration. It will be a Great Vespers on a Saturday night, followed by some good food! Orthodox clergy, please come in gold or blue phelonion and epitrachelion with your exorasson. Non-Orthodox clergy please come in your regular clericals. Though I may not allow non-Orthodox clergy to participate in our Great Vespers, you will nevertheless be honored and welcomed by us. Non-clergy, come and celebrate with us!
Place: St. Anthony the Great Orthodox Church, 223 E New Haven Ave, Melbourne, FL 32901

I regret that I will not be able to attend, but my prayers will be with you.
