Orthodox Church of the Mother of God

On Sunday, March 18, 2012, our parish welcomed the clergy and faithful from the diocese for the Mission Vespers Service.
Priests from various parts of the New Jersey Deanery gathered together on Sunday, 18 March, for a “Mission Vespers Service” at the Mother of God Church in Mays Landing NJ. It was followed by a Lenten meal.

The service homilist was Archpriest John Nehrebecki; the main celebrant was Archpriest Joseph Lickwar (Chancellor, Diocese of New York and New Jersey). The New Jersey Deanery celebrates “Mission Vespers” at different NJ Deanery parishes weekly during the Great Fast. In the words of the Dean, Archpriest Samuel Kedala, “Glory to God for all good things!”

On December 11, 2011, the Sunday School students of our church held a St Nicholas Celebration. They performed a presentation, and the younger ones had a visitor. The older students held a toy drive for the Atlantic County Toys for Kids Program.
