Peace and Grace

      What a wonderful gift, to be filled with peace and granted grace.  "O King of peace, grant us Your peace, bestow unto us Your peace and forgive us our sins," is the beautiful hymn the Coptic Orthodox Church chants in many occasions.

Where do I find a Coptic Orthodox Church around here?  We are in the process of constructing  the St. Athanasius Coptic Orthodox Church in Chattanooga.  Currently we conduct services at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Chattanooga.  The Coptic community in Knoxville has recently acquired a church, St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church.
