What are the sacraments? What is their purpose? Are they just symbols? Does it matter if you receive them? How often should you receive them? Can non-Orthodox participate in them? Who can perform them? Is their effect permanent?

Ever wonder any of these things? Come learn in this new adult education series!

Classes are held following Vespers (6:30pm) on Wednesday nights at St. Paul Orthodox Church in Emmaus, PA.

All are welcome—invite your friends!
