OCCA Church (Orthodox Catholic Church of America) — a church truly founded on inclusion. Reach out if you’re interested to come. We meet weekly on Sundays for hybrid services (which meets in person at the St Mary Magdala Parish Church, Fort Wayne, USA at 11am Central Eastern time, and is broadcast on Zoom).
There is an online UK prayer meeting on Wednesday evenings (7:30pm UK time) based in the UK.
Scripture readings:“Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.” (Mark 3: 35)
Then he said to them, “The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath.” (Mark 2:27)
Though I speak with the tongue of angels,
If I have not love,
I am become as hollow brass.
Though I have the gift of prophecy,
And understand all mysteries And all knowledge…
Though I have enough faith to move the mightiest mountains,
If I have not love,
I am nothing.
Love is patient,
Love is kind,
It bears all things,
It hopes all things.
Love never fails.
For prophecies shall fail,
Tongues shall cease,
Knowledge shall wither away.
And now shall abide…
Faith, hope, and love.
But the greatest of these three is love. (1 Corinthians 13)
The Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:29-37)
“It is for freedom that we have been set free.” (Galatians 5:1)
