Annual Children’s Blessing and Breakfast, 2024

 

After the Sunrise Divine Service on the morning of Sunday, December 29, 2024 — the 5th day of Christmas of the Christmas-Epiphany Sunrise Vigil — the Reno Community gathered at the End Times Parsonage for breakfast and the annual Blessing of the Children.

The Children’s Service was presided over by the Reverend Noriko Roy with the assistance of Acolyte Sabrina Savoy. In a short address, Reverend Roy reminded the youngsters that they are the hope of The Community.

Reverend Roy extended to them The Community’s appreciation for their devotion and faith in The Church and commended them into God’s Hands so they may learn and understand further the meaning of charity and truth in the Service of God.

Finally, on behalf of the Head Bishop and the clergy of the Second Advent Church, she invoked God’s blessings upon all the children and offered a special prayer for them.

Below is a selection of photos from that event.

2025 Epiphany Eve Celebrated

 

 

On the evening of January 5th, Epiphany Eve in the Second Advent Calendar and the Twelfth Day of Christmas, resident members of The Community, their families, and guests were invited to the Rectory-Abbey by Bishop Gene Savoy, Jr. to celebrate the holiday with a dinner  reception and a visit from Santa Claus. The event was well attended by members of The Community and guests. The event was captured in photos by attendees, and the Communique staff put together a gallery of these photos for your enjoyment. To welcome guests to the Rectory, Bishop Gene briefly addressed the company. (Please see below for a link to a video of his remarks.)

A parsonage blessing was performed over the Rectory East Wing on January 3, 2025. The ceremony involved censoring all the major rooms of the building with incense and sprinkling them with Holy Water by the Head Bishop, The Right Reverend Father Gene Savoy, Jr. Following the extensive ritual, Bishop Gene read the Solemn Dedication and offered Communion to those in attendance. The service concluded with a Seal of Blessing. The Bishop was assisted by The Reverend Father Robert Petrovich, The Reverend Mother Elizabeth Reece, The Reverend Canon Amanda Buchanan, and Sabrina Savoy. Also in attendance were The Reverend Mother Barbara Whitney, The Reverends Robert and Noriko Roy, The Reverends Shane Grady and Radheka Patel Savoy, Sophia and Helena Savoy, and Joseph Roy. This special service was conducted following a major remodel of the East Wing exterior over the past two years. (An article on the remodeling project will soon appear in The Community Communique.)
