Welcome to All Saints of North America Church!
Welcome Visitors!
May God bless you and direct your steps in discovering the Ancient Christian Church. We look forward to seeing you in our midst soon! The Orthodox Church is evangelical, but not Protestant. It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman. It isn't non-denominational - it is pre-denominational. It has believed, taught, preserved, defended, and died for the Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost 2000 years ago.
COME AND SEE!
Cheesefare Sunday / Forgiveness Sunday
Finally, on the eve of Great Lent, the day called Cheesefare Sunday and Forgiveness Sunday, we sing of Adam’s exile from paradise. We identify ourselves with Adam, lamenting our loss of the beauty, dignity and delight of our original creation, mourning our corruption in sin. We also hear on this day the Lord’s teaching about fasting and forgiveness, and we enter the season of the fast forgiving one another so that God will forgive us. If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will forgive you; but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your heavenly Father forgive you your trespasses (Mt 6.14–18).

KONTAKION - O Master, Guide to wisdom, Bestower of prudence, Instructor of the foolish, and Defender of the poor: make firm my heart and grant it understanding. O Word of the Father, give me speech, for behold, I shall not restrain my lips from crying out to Thee: "Have mercy, have mercy on me who have fallen."
