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.

LATEST SERMONS

Do not tempt the little ones but serve them like angels of God

11:57

Do not tempt the little ones but serve them like angels of God

Christ, our God, left Heaven and came down to save us, his lost sheep, and beloved children. He instructed us to embrace every repentant heart and gave us an example of an antropotheocentric life.

Start small then go big or go home

09:21

Start small then go big or go home

In the "Good Samaritan" story, we see a young lawyer who desires the best achievement, which is the Kingdom of God, but cannot comprehend that it all starts with the second commandment, "Love your neighbor as yourself." Start small by accepting that you and I were created in God's image and that we are the recipients of God's love. And that we need to share that Love with each other in order to be able to love God whom we do not see and will not be able to see unless we see Him in another person.

We christians are called to royal priesthood to serve

Entering in to the eternal time fearlessly

When we enter into the church, we enter into the eternal time. We leave the cares of the world by the door. We celebrate the resurrection of the Lord every Sunday, which is the beginning of the eternal life offered to us.

Misogyny, Misandry or Misanthropy

12:02

Misogyny, Misandry or Misanthropy

Jesus, our Lord, had a companion on the widow who had lost her only son. He shared her pain not because of death but because of what she was going to face as a widow who had no man to represent her in society.

Four Environments In Our Hearts For The Word of God

15:17

Four Environments In Our Hearts For The Word of God

The parable of the sower and the seeds can be applied to one person's life, where our ears can produce all four environments for the word of God.

How can we stop the suffering in the world

07:51

How can we stop the suffering in the world

We are created as one body, and as humanity, we share the pain, suffering, and joy of every individual in the world. We Christians are called to bring all to Peace that is present in the person of Christ. But before we can do that, we need to stop causing pain to each other.
