St. Nicholas Orthodox Church's director of music, Rdr. Tracey (John) Edson, is exploring the founding of a new chorus. The purpose of this choir is to collect skilled singers to present, twice a year, a major work of Orthodox liturgical music. The commitment would be limited to preparation for these two events, so would not be continuous.
If you would like to learn more about this project and participate in an audition, contact Tracey at tryedson@aol.com or 593-421-0488.
The choir is being formed under the leadership of St. Nicholas' rector, Archpriest George A. Gray, and it's parish council.

St John the Wonderworker Family Camp is back!
What is Family camp?
Family camp is an Orthodox camp for the whole family. It is an opportunity to gather with other Orthodox Christians of the Northwest to pray, learn, play, and fellowship together. There are fun activities for kids, parents, grandparents, teens and young adults as well as an opportunity to make new friendships and renew old friendships.
Where is family camp?
The Family camp is located near Eugene Oregon at a beautiful lakeside Kiwanis camp.
Why go to family camp?
The St. John the Wonderworker Family Camp offers the opportunity to retreat from the world and set aside time for prayer, fellowship, classes, and other ways of building the Faith for those who may not have the resources or time to travel to a monastery or other place of pilgrimage. World-class speakers, teachers and helpers experienced with working with children contribute to a full experience of the Church in a beautiful wilderness setting. Every day we gather together to pray Matins, Vespers, and Compline and we always have a mid-week Divine Liturgy. We also have a special children’s Vespers, where the kids get a hands-on opportunity to participate in a service.
Family camp is a fun place for children of all ages. Children, teens and adults will have age appropriate seminars, activities and crafts in an environment that will build their understanding of the Orthodox faith.
Save the Dates: July 22nd-26th, 2013
More details coming soon so stay tuned!
