Journey to Pascha with the Psalms!

book of psalmsIt’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 February 27. 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…]
