On Bright Wednesday 2008, perhaps the first ever Orthodox liturgy was served in the home of Kevin and Tatiana Stelmach in the town of Petersburg, Alaska.  Petersburg is a brief 25 minute flight south of Juneau. A community of about 3,000 people, it was founded early last century by mostly Norwegian fisherman.  The strong Norwegian flavor is still very much evident.  In addition, now there are a few Russians living there who want the Church as part of their families' lives. Pray for the families and for the work of the Church in Petersburg.
