English speakers will note that we have transliterated the Church Slavonic prayer so that we all may sing together (which is the main thrust of this effort). Please review the transliteration so that you become familiar with it. If you have any trouble with the pronunciation please feel free to ask Fr. Gregory, Fr. John, or one of our Slavonic readers for help.
Bishop Peter has asked that we also sing the Symbol of Faith together on Sundays. Once we have mastered "Our Father" as a group we will begin to work on the Symbol of Faith. More information in that regard will be forthcoming.]]>http://www.stvladimiraami.org/SimpleBLOG/index.php?entry=entry120201-1800002012-02-01T00:00:00Z2012-02-01T00:00:00ZWeekly Educational Offering For Adults – Explanation of the most recent Sunday gospel reading from Blessed Theophylact:

All children are urged to participate in the Divine Liturgy to the greatest extent possible by ringing bells, serving in the altar, singing, helping in the kiosk, and most importantly by being present in the church and praying with their parish family, AND ESPECIALLY by partaking of the Holy Mysteries. The Liturgy is not a spectacle or event that we watch, but a prayerful “work of the people” that we participate in through our prayerful involvement. Please contact Fr. Gregory with questions in this regard.

In the winter months we don’t really have to think about things like dresses that do not cover the shoulder or short pants, but in the summer we do. A few practical tips in this regard:
• If you have a dress that does not cover your shoulders that you would like to wear to church that is just fine, but please cover your shoulders with a shawl or light sweater while in church • Shorts are not appropriate in church. Somehow we struggle with this every spring and summer as a parish family. This is likely because this has not been made clear in the past and we ask the forgiveness of all for not being as clear as we should have been. So, to be as clear as possible: shorts should not be worn in church by anyone of any age at any time.]]>http://www.stvladimiraami.org/SimpleBLOG/index.php?entry=entry120114-0600002012-01-14T00:00:00Z2012-01-14T00:00:00ZSt. Basil the Great Celebrated January 1/14 English:

“And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. And when ye come into an house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.” (Matthew 10:1-20)
“And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,) Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take. Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection. And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.” (Acts 1:15-26)]]>http://www.stvladimiraami.org/SimpleBLOG/index.php?entry=entry120102-0600002012-01-02T00:00:00Z2012-01-02T00:00:00ZRinging in the New Year – an Orthodox Approach English:

Vigil takes about two and a half to three hours. We must say first that this is time well spent for a Christian, as Vigil teaches us much about the feast or saint being commemorated the next day and is an important part of preparation for partaking of the Holy Mysteries. Vigil services have about 50% variable content while Divine Liturgy has about 10% variable content. Divine Liturgy is clearly the most important of the Divine Services from a theological point of view, but from an educational point of view you will learn much by attending the Vigil service. Further, for adults Vigil is the preferred time to go to Confession (rather than Sunday mornings).
Still, the service is long and we recognize that. All should be aware that confessions are heard before every Vigil. Also, please note that about half way through the Vigil the Gospel is read and the faithful are anointed with holy oil. This is a very logical time for those who cannot stay for the entire Vigil to take their leave (that is, after having been anointed). This is not the ideal (that is, we are not URGING you to leave early), but is completely acceptable.
Please consider making the Vigil part of your spiritual struggle this year. By establishing this as a pious family practice we hope that more and more of our parish family members will join us for Vigil throughout the year for their education and salvation!]]>http://www.stvladimiraami.org/SimpleBLOG/index.php?entry=entry111011-0600002011-10-11T00:00:00Z2011-10-11T00:00:00ZMailings Available by Email Onlyhttp://www.stvladimiraami.org/SimpleBLOG/index.php?entry=entry111006-1800002011-10-06T00:00:00Z2011-10-06T00:00:00ZCompiling a List of St. Vladimir's Businesseshttp://www.stvladimiraami.org/SimpleBLOG/index.php?entry=entry111001-1800002011-10-01T00:00:00Z2011-10-01T00:00:00ZPlease SLOW DOWN!
