On three Sundays in November there will be instructional liturgies here at Saint George. Father Joseph will be teaching during the service on the meaning of the Divine Liturgy. A great opportunity / refresher for everyone.

- November 8th - Preparing for Liturgy & The Liturgy of the Word (plan to be in your pew by 9:45 on this day.)
-November 15th - What Happens Behind the Icons? A live video feed will show you everything that takes place.
- November 22nd - The Liturgy of the Eucharist - Communion and Post Communion.

The Nativity Fast begins today, November 15th, and is divided into two periods: The 1st period is November 15th through December 19th when the traditional fasting discipline (no meat, poultry, eggs, dairy, fish, wine and oil) is observed on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but with katalysis for wine and oil on Tuesday and Thursday (some also permit fish on Tuesday and Thursday during this 1st period) and for fish, wine and oil on Saturday and Sunday. The 2nd period is December 20th through the 24th (the period of the Forefeast) when the traditional fasting discipline (no meat, poultry, eggs, dairy, fish, wine and oil) is observed Monday through Friday, but with katalysis for wine and oil on Saturday and Sunday.

Maybe too early for carol singing, but not too early to be part of the Parish Christmas Card. Once again this year, it is coordinated by the Ladies of Saint George.
