On Sunday January 15, 2017, we began the first semester of the 13 week Hymns Enrichment Course for deacons (youth and adults) held every Sunday after the Divine Liturgy. Each week we learn and practice the hymns and responses of Vespers and the Liturgy as a group to help us carry out our responsibilities as deacons and lead the congregation in hymns like a choir. 
The learning includes the spirituality of Vespers and the Liturgy. A corresponding course is offered for young deacons on Saturday afternoons. May the Lord bless this ministry for the glory of His Name.
