The service was officiated by Fr. Seraphim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fr. Seraphim offered a sermon on the encounter of Jesus with the Samaritan woman at the well, on how we often seek just a religion of convenience, that will make us feel better, or ease our fear of dying, whereas Jesus instead offers us a relationship with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then gathered for our traditional breakfast meal. This was followed by catechism class for those wishing to become Orthodox, or simply learn more about the faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our next service will be Divine Liturgy on Saturday, the 31st of May, at 9:30 AM, at St. Nicholas. Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow our <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/OrthodoxEnglish\" target=\"_blank\">channel<\/a> for news and announcements!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image
