Church Etiquette Reminders

1. Please be on time for the start of the Divine Liturgy. 2. Cell phones and electronic devices need to be turned off before entering the church. 3. The proper way to enter and exit the pew is to bow and make the sign of the cross. You may also choose to venerate the icon on the tetrapod. 4. The church proper is primarily for prayer and meditation. Casual conversations should be limited to the vestibule. 5. Parents should encourage their small children to participate in the liturgy. If your child is distracting others it is okay to take him/her into the vestibule until he/she calms down. Parishioners are encouraged to be supportive and understanding of families with young children. 6. Mirovanije (the distribution of blessed bread and anointing with oil) is a sacramental that is included as part of the Divine Liturgy and should be observed as such. 7. Before leaving the pew, please tidy up and remove litter. Bringing food into church is discouraged. 8. When lighting candles please extinguish the wooden stick in the sand. 9. Be considerate of others in what is worn to church. God is not concerned, but some apparel may serve as a distraction. 10. Use caution and courtesy when driving on the church grounds. All of our lanes are two-way. Obey handicapped and no parking signs. (Reserved spots are also for the handicapped only.)
