He entered the Synagogue and read from the book of the Prophet Isaiah: “ e spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recov- ering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” If anyone would like to begin the New Ecclesiastical year o with their own hard copy of inking Ortho- dox: Understanding and Acquir- ing the Orthodox Christian Mind, please let Stephanie know via call or text at (619)203-3533. is book was reviewed by Kay Harkins last month, and as she stated: for anyone seeking to wed his or her mind and heart to Christ in His Church, this volume is an invaluable resource.

We expect that the rise in property values will hold steady; however, they will not continue to climb as they have. Homebuyers are reaching their maximum loan amounts. Low interest rates are inching slightly higher and recent inflation has offset salary increases, capping the amount buyers can afford to pay. If you are considering selling in the next two years, now maybe thebest time to secure themaximumsales price for your home.
