St. Gregory of Palamas Orthodox Church

A beautiful little church with a small, close-knit congregation where everyone truly knows one another. The people here are incredibly welcoming. I arrived towards the end of Mass, just hoping to find some icons for my home, and was kindly greeted by one of the parishioners. I hadn't planned to receive the Body of Christ, feeling it wasn't right since I hadn't been present for the full service. But that same gentleman later returned and offered me a piece of the Body of Christ- a gesture that moved me deeply. Father Tristan came over to greet me and invited me to stay for coffee hour. I hadn't intended to, but I felt God nudging me to remain. Though I initially felt out of place, I ended up having meaningful conversations with several kind people, and I'm so glad I stayed. I thought that there weren't many good people left on earth, and God showed me they are still here. ❤️🙏☦️
