Everlasting King, Thy will for our salvation is full of power. Thy right arm controls the whole course of human life. We give Thee thanks for all Thy mercies, seen and unseen. For eternal life, for the heavenly Joys of the Kingdom which is to be. Grant mercy to us who sing Thy praise, both now and in the time to come. Glory to Thee, O God, from age to age.
His Eminence Metropolitan JOSEPH asks that parishes try to offer divine services in thanksgiving to God for all of His abundant blessings. On Wednesday November 21, 2018, St Nicholas Church will say the Akathist of Thanksgiving in the evening (6 pm). We hope that you will join us at St Nicholas Church in giving thanks to our loving God or with your loved ones elsewhere. Happy and blessed Thanksgiving! Texts from the Department of Liturgics in the Online Liturgical Guide are available.
