Prior to the Divine Liturgy on Sunday 10/02/2022, the churching ceremony was held for newborn baby Joseph Nielsen and family. Churching is a service of thanksgiving and blessing of the mother and her child when they return to the church after childbirth. It is reminiscent of the Old Testament ceremony of purification (Lev. 12: 2-8) and the presentation of Jesus at the Temple (Luke 2: 22-29). Welcome to our parish Joseph!
