Guidelines for Receiving Holy Communion

For Orthodox Christians
Orthodox Christians are called to fully participate in the Eucharist by receiving Holy Communion in accordance with Christ’s command to eat His Body and drink His Blood. Proper preparation includes repentance, fasting, and striving to live in love with one’s neighbors. In addition, communicants are expected to fast from midnight the night before receiving Communion, abstaining from all food and drink, except for medical reasons. Those conscious of grave sin should first seek reconciliation through the Sacrament of Confession. Frequent reception of the Holy Eucharist is encouraged.

For Other Christians
We welcome non-Orthodox Christians to join us in worship. However, we are unable to extend an invitation to receive Communion. 

For Those Not Receiving Communion
All are welcome to participate in prayer and unity with the Lord and the congregation. Guests are invited to come forward at the conclusion of the Liturgy to receive the church bread ("antidoron") and to venerate the cross if they wish.

Orthodox Christian Education

Adult Orthodox Christian Studies
Catechism classes are held every Tuesday evening during the academic year, offering an opportunity to deepen understanding of the Orthodox Christian Faith. A light meal is served at 5:30 p.m., followed by the class at 6:00 p.m. All are invited to participate in this time of fellowship and learning.

Sunday School for Children (PK-12)
Regular classes for children and youth are held following the Divine Liturgy during the school year.

We warmly welcome you to Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church and hope that you will join us in worship, fellowship, and faith.
