St. Nicholas Orthodox Church, McKinney, TX
October 2008

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday	

Great evil occurs on the night of Oct 31st.  Not only do people imitate demons, but also demonic services are held by Satanists.  It is imperative that an Orthodox Christian combat this evil by NOT PARTICIPATING IN IT.  "Trick or treating" and going to costume parties are forbidden by the Church. 	Sep 18 / Oct 1  STRICT FAST

Directions to St. Nicholas (from 75): 
Take 75 (Central Expressway) to Mockingbird. Mockingbird is about 5 miles south of 635.   Turn East onto Mockingbird to Abrams.  Turn South.  On the Northwest corner of Abrams and Mockingbird, there is a shopping center with a Tom Thumb grocery store.  Head south on Abrams a short distance past the first stop light. You will see Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church on your right.  Go past this, and their football field.  Immediately following is All Saints Episcopal, on the right (West) side of Abrams (3617 Abrams). Turn right at All Saints, and find the alley. We have an entrance off the alley, and a sign on the door.
