It’s almost that time again! This Lent, join the St. Elia Prayer Group as we once again unite to pray the Psalms together throughout the fast, which for Orthodox Christians begins this year on March 2. You do not need to be a member of St. Elia Akron to join. All you need is a Bible and a little bit of time to set aside each day.
The prayer group also offers the opportunity for us to pray for one another, for our parish, and for any special intentions any of us may have. [Read more…]

Just in time for the gift-giving season, we have new St. Elia “Spirit Wear” T-shirts, long-sleeve T-shirts, and hoodies available for pre-order with a fresh new design. Click here to download the order form, then return or mail your order with cash or check payable to St. Elia no later than Sunday, Dec. 1. Items will be available at church for pick-up 10 days before Christmas. Don’t miss out!
NEW: These items (and previous “Spirit Wear” items) are now available at our St. Elia Teespring Store year-round, including additional style and color options. This is especially for our extended St. Elia family and friends living outside of the area who are not able to order and pick up at church. (Please note that prices are higher online and there is a shipping charge, so pre-ordering at church during “Spirit Wear” sale times is still the best, whenever possible.)
