2026 Theophany ServicesAt the Feast of the Baptism of our Lord Jesus Christ (Theophany), the Church proclaims the sanctification of all creation through Christ’s immersion in the waters of the Jordan. By His baptism, our Lord reveals the Holy Trinity and renews the world, filling it with divine grace.
The blessing of our homes during this season flows directly from this feast. Through prayer and the sprinkling of holy water, the Church asks God to sanctify our homes, making them places of prayer, peace, and Christian life. This blessing reminds us that our homes are not separate from our faith, but are called to be “little churches,” where Christ is present and where love, forgiveness, and holiness are nurtured each day.
Rev. Father Daniel Florean will be available to bless your homes between January 6th and January 17th. If you would like to receive this blessing, please contact him by phone at (919) 218-8277 or by email at danielflorean@gmail.com, and he will be happy to arrange a visit.
Please see below the schedule of services for the coming days as we prepare for and celebrate the great feast of Theophany:
- Sunday (January 4th) – Divine Liturgy will begin at 10:00 AM.
- Monday (January 5th) evening – The Service of the Great Blessing of the Waters will be held at 6:30 PM.

- Wednesday (January 7th) – Synaxis of the Holy Prophet, Forerunner, and Baptizer John: Divine Liturgy will begin at 10:00 AM.
We invite everyone to join us in prayer as we celebrate the manifestation of our Lord and the sanctification of creation. May the grace revealed at the Jordan dwell richly in your homes and in your hearts.
