SUMMARY:Saint Xenia the Blessed Russian Orthodox Chapel Service Times
DESCRIPTION:Saturday vespers at 5:00 p.m. Third Hour Prayers 9:30 a.m. and Divine Liturgy at 10:00 a.m., first and third Sundays of the month. Reader service at 12:00 noon, second, fourth and fifth Sundays of the month. Third Hour Prayers The Third Hour Prayer is a fairly short prayer service. It is done at our mission to help people get into a more worshipful frame of mind for the upcoming Divine Liturgy. The term third here refers to being about three hours from the beginning of the day, which is assumed to be around six in the morning. For people who want to go to confession, the priest usually hears confessions during the Third Hour Prayers. Divine Liturgy Divine Liturgy is the primary worship service in the Orthodox Church. It is during the Divine Liturgy that the central act of Orthodox worship happens: Holy Communion. In an Orthodox parish with a priest, or more than one priest in residence, the service of Divine Liturgy would happen every Sunday and also on some major non-Sunday feast days, such as Ascension. Vespers Vespers is a prayer service that happens in the early evening. Vespers is considered to be the first service of the day because the liturgical (worship) day is assumed to begin at sundown. In Orthodox Churches that have a Saturday Vespers service, it is considered to be an important service to help people better prepare spiritually for the Divine Liturgy service the next morning. Traditionally, people go to confession after the Saturday vespers service. In our mission we usually only have a priest on the Saturday vespers before the first Sunday of the month. Confession can be heard after this first vespers because a priest in present, but not at the other vespers during the month.
