THANKSGIVING WITH THE ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN CHURCH – ALL ARE WELCOME

(Florence, SC – November 20, 2009) The Transfiguration of Our Savior Greek Orthodox Church in Florence invites everyone to join us as we give thanks to God in worship on Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving Day – 9:00am The Divine Liturgy will take place in the Church at 2990 S Cashua Dr, Florence.

Father Athanasios C Haros, Pastor of Transfiguration Church said, “We are really excited about opening our doors to the rest of Florence. People always think they have to be Greek to attend Transfiguration. We are Russian, Lebanese, Filipino, Indian, Native American, Palestinian, Italian, Greek and “good ole Americans” worshiping God as one family.”

The Divine Liturgy is the celebration of the Eucharist in the Orthodox Christian Church and has its roots in Apostolic worship. While only Orthodox Christians will be permitted to receive the Eucharist, all people are invited and welcome to attend to give thanks to God for our blessings. Information about the Orthodox Church will also be available.
