Our holy fathers have renounced all other spiritual work and concentrated wholly on this one doing, that is, on guarding the heart, convinced that, through this practice, they would easily attain every other virtue, whereas without it not a single virtue can be firmly established.

St. Symeon the New Theologian 


Faith and love which are gifts of the Holy Spirit are such great and powerful means that a person who has them can easily, and with joy and consolation, go the way Jesus Christ went. Besides this, the Holy Spirit gives man the power to resist the delusions of the world so that although he makes use of earthly good, yet he uses them as a temporary visitor, without attaching his heart to them. But a man who has not got the Holy Spirit, despite all his learning and prudence, is always more or less a slave and worshipper of the world.

St. Innocent of Alaska

Special Parish Meeting

Mission Chooses New Home

On Sunday, November 4, 2007, a Special Parish Meeting was held at Christ the Savior Orthodox Church. The meeting was called to discuss the 2008 Budget and the future home of the Mission.

During the meeting the Parish decided unanimously to move the Church to Vines Creek in Dagsboro, Delaware, where another rental facility would serve as the Mission's home until such a time as land could be purchased and a permanent church be built.

The Vines Creek Professional Center, which will house the Mission, is centrally located on Route 26 between the northern and southern beaches and the major routes of Coastal Highway and Route 113. The new address of the Mission will be 30838 Vines Creek Road, Dagsboro, Delaware, 19939.

In addition to being closer to parishioner's homes, the new facility will also provide room to accommodate the Mission's growing congregation which has steadily risen since the founding of the Church in 2000.

For the time being, the Mission will continue to meet at 1400 Coastal Highway in Fenwick Island, Delaware. More information regarding the timing of the move will be forthcoming.
