Welcome to the first episode of The Vine, our new parish podcast, this is Fr. Ninos Oshaana and I'm looking forward to using this new format to keep you informed about our parish as well as offering inspiration and encouragement in your Orthodox faith journey. This podcast will offer a number of different things.  For example, some of you receive our daily prayer and bible readings and meditation email. Now it will also be available as a daily episode that you can listen to on this podcast. Other episodes will offer recordings of our small discussion group on the Divine Liturgy, our upcoming bible study and also news and announcements from our parish community.  

We are always grateful for your donations in support of this program and the church.  Click here to make a donation now. 

With love in Christ,

Fr. Ninos

Today's episode is Christ's words about judging others and a meditation by St. Paisios the Athonite on the final judgment.  

Lord and Master of my life, deliver me from the spirit of laziness, meddling, ambition and gossip.
