Brothers & Sisters,
This weekend Boise will be graced with a visit from the miraculous Myrrh-Streaming Hawaiian Iveron Icon!
Saturday, October 9th @ 3:30 PM – Greeting of the Icon upon its arrival with a Molieben service.
Sunday, October 10th @ 4:00 PM – Akathist to the Iveron Icon.
Sunday, October 10th @ 6:00 PM – Paraklesis to the Mother of God.
All SERVICES at Saint Seraphim of Sarov Orthodox Church – 872 N 29th St, Boise
The Icon will be available for veneration and visitation pretty much from the time it arrives until the time it leaves. This is a time when being part of a small community of Orthodox Christians is a blessing – you will have pretty much as much time as you desire to visit and pray with the icon!

Parish Town Hall Meeting, October 17th @ ~1:30 PM
Earlier this year we sent out a survey to get feedback on the needs of our Church. The results of that survey are the driving force of the conversation. We will be discussing important topics regarding the future of our parish, including our need for a full-time priest, and our exploding growth, and what that means for our community and temple.
Asking your prayers,
Deacon Matthew
