Choir records CD

By the grace of God, the choir of St. Nicholas Church, Barberton, Ohio, has been blessed to be able to record a second CD. This new disc is titled " Preserve our Heritage O Lord", featuring in Old Slavonic, selections from the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom.

Under the direction of Rita Benya, the choir sang the responses for the Slavonic Liturgy at the Vatra for the Carpatho-Rusyn Society Cleveland, Ohio, held at the Maria Poch shrine. The dedicated members, now stimulated with a renewed spirit of enthusiasm, decided to channel their efforts for the glory of God,in recording this CD in the original Slavonic language of our ancestors. We truly see this as a ministry to enable both old and young generations, the opportunity to experience the beauty of our Byzantine heritage in all its splendor.

The CDs will be available December 22. Prepaid orders before December 31 will be asked a $10.00 donation per disc. All orders after January 1, 2009 will be $12.00 each.

Checks may be made payable to St. Nicholas Church, 1051 E. Robinson Ave., Barberton, Ohio, 44203. Please note name of CD on check.
