President's reflection
“ABIDE IN ME AS I ABIDE IN YOU”. (John 15:1-8)
"Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and God’s love is perfected in us.” 1 John 4
Pascha prayers for the Orthodox Churches
Christ is risen. Indeed, He is risen.
“I Am the Resurrection and the Life” (John 11:25)
The Orthodox churches celebrate Pascha (Easter) this coming Sunday 2 May, 2021. The NCCA prays for the Eastern and Orthodox church communities as they celebrate the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ over the coming days.
President's reflection
“PEACE BE WITH YOU”: THE RISEN JESUS IN OUR MIDST.
In this Easter season we not only remember the way Jesus convinced those first disciples of his resurrection … but we experience that same peace as we gather together.
The Risen Jesus in our midst continues to sustain and guide us.
