On Sunday, March 26 the community of Christ the Saviour hosted our local Orthodox parishes for the Fourth Sunday of Great and Holy Lent. Fr. Leonid Schmidt, pastor of the Gettysburg Orthodox Mission, delivered a beautiful homily reflecting on the Ladder of Divine Ascent, and gave some practical advice on how to avoid the trap of thinking of the spiritual life as "climbing a ladder of success" but rather as an incremental turning towards Christ. Following the Vespers our Altar Guild hosted a wonderful reception! Glory to God for all things!
