2015 ACM Lenten Newsletter
Monday, July 27, 2015 Blessed Pascha! Christ is risen! Indeed, He is risen!
Dear Friends of Annapolis Pan-Orthodox College Ministry:
As we journey to Christ’s holy resurrection and His victory over sin and death on our behalf, we thank God for His love and mercy manifested in our own lives. “Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life” (Rom. 6:4-6)
It’s to this “newness of life” that we are all called and which Annapolis Pan-Orthodox College Ministry (ACM) calls all the students and midshipmen whom the ministry reaches. College—and the USNA is no different in this respect—is a time of asking the questions, “who am I, what do I believe, what is the truth, is there truth, who is God?
Every week, I reach out to the students to invite them to our weekly on-campus meetings and prayer services and to worship at our nearby Mission, Holy Archangels. I also follow up with any midshipman or St. John’s student who is struggling or would like to grow in their Orthodox Faith, or come to a deeper knowledge and love of Christ and His holy Orthodox Church.
