This Independence Day marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. For a quarter of a millennium, the American experiment has endured through war, depression, social upheaval, and deep political division.
As Orthodox Christians, we know that our ultimate citizenship is in the Kingdom of God. No earthly nation can claim our absolute loyalty. Yet gratitude for our country is entirely appropriate.

Since 1925, we go on pilgrimage to Fort Ross on the observed Independence Day Holiday. The Divine Liturgy at the Fort Ross Chapel will be served Friday morning, July 3rd, at 10:00 am. Pack a picnic to enjoy after the Divine Liturgy.
This year, the great feast of Transfiguration falls on a Thursday! Immediately after Divine Liturgy on August 6th, we will enjoy a salmon BBQ and pot luck picnic at our fellowship hall. That will be followed again this year by a hike up Red Hill trail.
We will serve the Festal Vigil of Dormition on Friday, Aug. 14 and will be going to Holy Assumption Monastery in Calistoga on Saturday, for the Dormition Feast Day. Divine Liturgy will be at 9:00 am.
Today, like the morning sun rising over us, your all-honored icon enlightens the world with rays of mercy and our land reverently receives it as a divine gift from on high, glorifying you, O Birthgiver of God, Our Lady of Sitka, with joy magnifying Christ our God Who was born of you. Pray to Him O Lady Mary, Queen and Theotokos that all cities and lands be protected from our enemies, and that they will be saved who in faith venerate your most pure icon that has come to dwell with us, O Virgin Mother, who shows us the way to Christ.
