Prayer Group - St. Paul instructs us to pray "without ceasing".  To this end, a prayer group has begun in our Church to pray at 7am and 7pm for the following people and souls.  To join the group simply begin praying.

Prayer for the Living:  "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, You have said by Your pure lips that "if two or three agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in Heaven.  For where two or three are gathered in My Name, there I am in the midst of them."  Inscrutable are Your words, O Lord. Your love of mankind knows no limits.  Your mercy is without end.  We, Your servants of the Holy Anargyroi Prayer Group, pray in accord for Your servants <names of those for whom we are praying>.  Help us in all our works today, tomorrow and on any day, that these may be to Your Glory.  But not as we will, but as You will.  Your will be done.  In the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen."

Names to Pray for..Anastasios and family; Nathan and family; Michael and family; Basil and his mother; Russell; Nicholas, Priest and family; Christos; Isidore, Priest-Monk; Daniel, Deacona nd Elizabeth; The families of Holy Anargyroi.

Prayer  for the Dead: "We pray for the repose of the soul of the departed servant of God <name> for the forgiveness of his/her sins, both voluntary and involuntary.  That the Lord, God place his/her soul where the righteous repose.  Let us ask for the mercies of God and the kingdom of heaven.  For You are the resurrection, the life and the repose of Your departed servant <name>, Christ our God, and to You we give glory, with Your eternal Father and Your good, holy and life-giving Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen."
