@@sfappetrupavelandreihonestly That cost a lot of money Greek Orthodox Church here in RI also have a school It funds it gets from the festival they do a Greek one Ok but we also have a Oriental Church a Coptic And that is impressive but shows to you cost and time and development
Russian would be much better. Westerners need to know how to stand through a service, cross themselves fully and not show up 45 minutes late to church once every 6 weeks. And yes, there is such a thing as vespers and matins!
I love to see Eastern Orthodox churches coming to Utah. My son and DIL live in SLC and there are several various Eastern Orthodox churches there or in the area now. Next time I visit I’ll make sure to worship and one of them.
Congratulations! What a wonderful addition to the community. I pray that many people discover the beauty of the ancient and original Christian worship! And experience the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Orthodox church always had great appeal to native nations from Aleutians to the west coast of the 48 states. A welcome alternative and peaceable complement to LDS, you are very welcome.

A few comments: There's a video clip of somebody playing a piano in the church. As Orthodox we are not supposed to be using instruments inside the church as we realized that it is the human voice that we use for worship an expressing ourselves in worship.
