Cross Planted on Church Property!

By the grace of God, on July 13, 2016, our parish held the official Service for the Planting the Life-giving Cross and the placing of the Cornerstone on our property. In the eyes of the Church, this was the official commencement of our planned building project of our new temple on South Valley View Road in Ashland, OR!
