“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal”
(Matthew 6:19-20)
Аppeal from the clergy for help with the construction of the new church
Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ!
We appeal to everyone who is not indifferent and with love for the Lord and others can help in the construction of the temple.
For the first time in many years, we are on the verge of building our long-awaited building, where we will offer prayers to the Lord for our forgiveness and salvation. Pray for the health and longevity of our loved ones and relatives, as well as for those who have already departed into another world, to bring the Holy Bloodless Sacrifice of Jesus Christ (to perform the liturgy), receive the Sacred Gifts (Holy Communion), wash our sins and receive the Grace of God in His Glory, for the Salvation and Health of our souls and bodies.
We will baptize children and grandchildren, friends and acquaintances who have turned to Christ, and those whom we still do not know, but for whose salvation there is already the will of God.
As you know, for the construction we need a loan from the bank in the amount of $300 thousand dollars. The Bank set us a number of conditions, which, having completed by the end of this year, we will be able to get this loan. One of these conditions is a stable monthly accumulation in the bank account of your donations.
We understand that everyone has a different income and different life circumstances. Therefore, we heartily ask everyone to pray for God’s help our parish in obtaining a loan, and also ask us to respond in a sacrificial feat. St. Tikhon of Zadonsky says:
You have much, give much; have little, give little: but give it from the heart …
The Holy Apostle Paul reminds:
..whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly; and he who sows generously will generously reap. Each of us give according to the disposition of the heart, not with sorrow and not with compulsion, because God loves a willing giver
2 Corinthians 9: 6-7
We ask everyone who has the opportunity to make donations by checks – please send it to Church PO Box address:
PO Box 26673
Charlotte, NC 28221-6673
To the Glory of God people who prefer to make donation by transferring money from the bank, they can do by PayPal. You can also set up an automatic payment via PayPal:
Thanks in advance to all who respond to our call for sacrificial assistance.
May the Gracious Lord Jesus Christ bless all and may His Grace be with us!
With love in Jesus Christ,
Rector of the church, Archpriest Alexander Logunov
Archpriest Alexander Stepanenko
