In the Orthodox Church, the Paschal season (the 40 days following Pascha, the Orthodox name for Easter) is the most joyous and significant season as the Church celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It lasts forty days (April 12 to May 21 this year), from the time of the Resurrection to the Ascension. Each of the Paschal Sundays has its own special theme, which is reflected in the New Testament readings (The Acts of the Apostles and the Gospel of Saint John the Theologian) and hymns of that day, as well as the sermon.&nbsp;Holy Trinity Orthodox Church of East Meadow (located at 369 Green Avenue) invites you to worship with us during this holy season. All services are conducted in English.

Holy Trinity founded in 1924, is the first Orthodox Christian parish in the Nassau/Suffolk area and centrally located in mid-island East Meadow. The parish is a diverse community of Orthodox Christians who come from all walks of life and ethnicities, gathering in the oneness of Faith to worship God in the fullness of the Church’s liturgical life. It also has a strong commitment to serving others through various charities.&nbsp;We welcome all people seeking a community rooted in the oldest Christian Church with an emphasis on Holy Scripture, Holy Tradition, liturgical and prayer life, and traditional Christian values.

The Divine Liturgy (Eucharist) is celebrated every Sunday and feast day at 9:30 AM (Hours at 9:00 AM). Please be aware that only Orthodox Christians are allowed to partake of the Eucharist and other sacraments because of the ancient canons, but others are welcome to receive a blessing. Coffee hour follows the Divine Liturgy every Sunday. Vespers (evening prayer) are served every Saturday and on the eve of feast days at 6:00 PM. Services are also streamed on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/htocem" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/htocem</a>. The full liturgical schedule can be found on the parish website’s calendar at <a href="https://www.htocem.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.htocem.org</a>.For more information, contact us at <a href="mailto:htocem@gmail.com">htocem@gmail.com</a>.

Long Island Swim School

Long Island Swim School is the teaching arm of the nationally ranked Long Island Aquatic Club. Our Learn to Swim programs create strong, safe, and confident swimmers for life. With locations in Garden City and Syosset we train over 2,000 children each week at every swim level from Beginner to Olympian. Long Island Swim School offers swim lessons for children ages 2 - 14years old. The main emphasis of our programs is to teach children to swim correctly and develop essential water skills in a relaxed environment. Our goal driven and technique oriented approach is the key to your child's success. Through skill based quality teaching our students develop a joy for learning and a passion for swimming. At Long Island Swim School, we teach children to swim the same way the best in the world do. By using age-appropriate, proven techniques children build real skills in kick, pull, body position, and breath control. Our logical, consistent progression turns every fundamental—whether blowing bubbles or learning butterfly timing—into a building block for efficient, confident swimming. Our professional staff are swimmers and coaches with the knowledge to give your child the skills to achieve more than just water safety. We provide the best foundation possible for success. Not every child will dream of Olympic glory, but every child should have the foundation to take them there. Whether the end goal is a competitive journey or a recreational one, whether your child competes in 2044 or they are happy playing in their home pool, the skills they learn at Long Island Swim School will take them as far as their dreams allow.
