Dear believers,
By the grace of God, we are opening a new campaign, this time to beautify the interior of our church with pews/STRANE and other necessary religious objects. If you would like to help us with your donations, these objects will be purchased and used at the various religious services and functions of our church.
The first part of the campaign is the PEWS/STRANE that will adorn the church all around the exterior walls and will be 58 in number. If you would like to donate such a pew, please contact us. The price of a pew is $5000 and they can be donated either individually, together with the entire family or even several families together. The amount raised from these donations will help us to also purchase the simple chairs that will decorate our church (and which are not removed for donation) as well as to advance the works to complete the sewage system (SWM)
Blue pews are not yet in production
Red pews are already donated
Green pews are available for donation.
The second part of the campaign represents other various CHURCH OBJECTS that will help us in the various religious services and/or will decorate our church. These objects have an individualized price and they can also be donated by you.
May God bless us in this Campaign that we are initiating to continue the beautification of the church and the adjacent works. May the Lord bless you!

Beloved faithful,
“God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:13). This is the good news that we want to experience together in the community of our “St. Andrew Orthodox Church” in Potomac, Maryland!
The life of each and every one of us is under the sign of God’s love, expressed in a perfect way through our Savior Jesus Christ. Everything begins and ends with God! He presents Himself to us through everything that surrounds us! In this respect, Saint Siluan the Athonite pronounces it in such a sublime way: “The soul lives long time on the earth and loves the earth’s beauty; it loves the sky and the sun, it loves the beautiful gardens, the sea and the rivers, the forests and the plains; it also loves music, and is delighted by all these earthly things. But when it knows our Lord Jesus Christ, it does not want to see anymore anything that is earthly.”
In our community, we want to feel together the love of God, and to respond to this love through our day-by-day life. We are called to have “Christ’s thoughts, and to think in a way similar to Him, in everything, to think Him” (Saint Maxim the Confessor).
We invite you to join our great spiritual family, if you have not already done so, and to bring your own unique and fundamental contribution to the growth and prosperity of the Christ’s Church on earth. “And, whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of The Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve The Lord Christ.” (Colossians 3: 23-24).
Do not disregard this call from The Lord, to serve Him with your full dedication and sincerity! We are called to accomplish many things together, and in particular to build a house to God.
Thank you!
