One of the seven deacons (Acts 6:5), and of the Seventy Apostles, he was made
bishop of Bostra in Arabia an there preached the Gospel, enduring much
ill-treatment at the hands of the pagans. He was thrown into fire, but remained
unharmed. He finally died by crucifixion, and entered into the kingdom of
Christ.
Be the benefactor of an Orthodox temple! We have been in our new temple since June 2010. The cost was much higher than budgeted and our debt burden is very high. Donations to our building fund will help us pay down the debt so we can afford to build the iconostasis.
Donate to the Building Fund using PayPal. You may also send funds to: St Nicholas Orthodox Church memo "Building Fund" P.O. Box 37, McKinney TX. 75070
Help our prison minstry! I see almost 30 men in 3 prisons. I visit each prison twice a month, and serve Divine Liturgy once a month in each prison. There have been 11 baptisms, and 4 more are planned in 2016. Monthly travel costs alone are about $600.00, not to mention postage, toner, printing, books, etc. The parish cannot fund the prison ministry at this time. Please consider a one time donation, or contact me for a small monthly donation. also contact me if you know of someone in the Texas prison system whom I should contact. I pray for prison benefactors. God bless you! Priest Seraphim Sept 2015
