These two brothers from Thessalonika, Greece, were monks and were sent to bring Christianity to the Slavic people. In the course of their work they created a written language, inventing the Cyrillic alphabet for it, and translated the Bible and the liturgy.
We have a single service at 10:00 this Sunday, December 27, telling the story of Simeon and Anna with a focus on welcoming The New Year. Pastor Nickel will deliver the message.
