WELCOME

Welcome to the Dormition of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church in Somerville, MA. Please explore our website to learn about our community and join us to experience a unique relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, communion with God and His Truth. The Dormition Church in Somerville has been the central anchor in the troubled waters of the world for over a century, and, God-willing, for many more years.

I welcome you to our Church to experience community life through the prayer of Thanksgiving by worshiping in the oneness of mind, in Love, in Spirit, and Truth.

Come and see.

Jesus was not born in our barns. We need to come down from our trees to find Him

We find Christ in daily life as the samaritan woman found him when she was going about her day. He will not be found on the tree, but we need to come down from our trees like Zacheas to find him in the crowd that was originally blocking Jesus from us.

The Lord calls us and He calls us again

10:00

The Lord calls us and He calls us again

When we feel discouraged, like giving up, when we feel close to despair, when we feel like leaving everything and going fishing, it is the time when the Lord is calling us again to follow Him as His disciples.

Adulterous and sinful generation

Adulterous and sinful generation

In this context, this means replacing God with something else.

Personal transformation is necessary for bringing our loved ones to Christ

14:28

Personal transformation is necessary for bringing our loved ones to Christ

There are two kinds of evangelism: one with words when we invite pagans to become disciples of Christ, and another is by personal transformation when we invite our loved ones to follow the Lord.
