Troparion of the Transfiguration of our Lord
Tone 7
Thou wast transfigured on the mountain, O Christ God, showing to Thy disciples Thy glory as each one could endure; shine forth Thou on us, who are sinners all, Thy light ever unending through the prayers of the Theotokos. O Light-giver, glory to Thee! / Troparion of the Dormition of the Theotokos Tone I
In giving birth thou didst preserve thy virginity; in thy dormition thou didst not forsake the world, O Theotokos. Thou wast translated unto life, since thou art the Mother of Life; and by thine intercessions dost thou deliver our souls from death. / July 19/ Aug 1 Fish, Wine & Oil

The church is on the campus of All Saints Episcopal, in white building behind their main building, and totally separate from it. There is an entrance off the alley, and a sign on the door.
Directions to St. Nicholas (from 75):
Take 75 (Central Expressway) to Mockingbird. Mockingbird is about 5 miles south of 635. Turn East onto Mockingbird to Abrams. Turn South. On the Northwest corner of Abrams and Mockingbird, there is a shopping center with a Tom Thumb grocery store. Head south on Abrams a short distance past the first stop light. You will see Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church on your right. Go past this, and their football field. Immediately following is All Saints Episcopal, on the right (West) side of Abrams (3617 Abrams). Turn right at All Saints, and find the alley. We have an entrance off the alley, and a sign on the door.
