St. Andrew's

Orthodox Church

"...'Come and see.' They came and saw."

(John 1)

And thus, we have the meeting of the Holy and All-praised Andrew, the First-called of the Apostles.

Orthodoxy

The Orthodox Church is a body of believers: fifteen self-governing churches sharing a common faith, liturgical and sacramental tradition, and history beginning in Jerusalem, approximately 33 A.D.

Lenten Prayer of St. Ephrem

O Lord and Master of my life, take from me the spirit of sloth, despair, lust of power, and idle talk.

But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience, and love to Thy servant.

Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own transgressions, and not to judge my brother, for blessed art Thou,

unto ages of ages. Amen.

The First Called

The Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called was the first of the Apostles to follow Christ, and he later brought his own brother, the holy Apostle Peter, to Christ. (John 1:35-42).
