50 Hours of Prayer

The 50 Hours of Prayer Ministry is offered twice a year, usually in February and September, and entails three consecutive days of continuous prayer. 23 teams pray Akathists to the Trinity, Christ, the Theotokos, Saints and Prophets. Services are also celebrated in this vigil and include: (3) Orthros/Divine Liturgy, (2) Ninth Hour, (2) Great Vespers, (2) Compline, (2) Midnight Office, an Euchelion which is the making of Holy Oil for healing and a Paraklesis to the Theotokos. At the conclusion of the 50 Hour Prayer Vigil, we have a victory celebration/fellowship with a bar-b-que and music.
