Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make our Theophany at St. Vladimir’s so wonderful! The Divine Services were beautiful, the blessing of the water on Sunday was just marvelous, the food was great, and so was everything else! Thank you to all who make this possible! Pictures of the feast are at this link:

Thank you to all, and congratulations with the Great Feast of the Theophany!

“Nowadays, we need to live according to Christian laws and not according to the laws of this world. There is no need to watch how the world lives; it is governed by somewhat different rules.”

The snow has materialized as forecast so we will cancel the Divine Services this morning. There is every expectation that the snow will end mid-morning, so there should be ample time to clean the roads in time for Vigil tonight for the great feast of the Lord’s Theophany. Please join us at 6:00 p.m. tonight for that service.

Tomorrow after the Divine Liturgy we will process to the “Jordan” and bless the waters according to the ancient practice of the Church. Divine Liturgy begins at 10:00 a.m. and we invite all to join us!

See you soon at St. Vladimir’s!

Fr. Gregory

We have had some GREAT traditional dancing by our young people and our adults at our festival over the last few years, and there has been a desire to continue this pleasant work outside of festival time. And so we will with God’s help! Rehearsals begin on Monday 1/20/20 at 6:00 p.m. at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, 3109 Scio Church Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48103. We thank our Greek Orthodox friends for their kindness in allowing us to use their hall for our rehearsals! The program includes: ethnic Slavic dancing, floor gymnastics and stretching. Two groups will be created: one for children, the second one for adults. Classes will be priced to make it possible for everyone to participate. Rehearsals will be Mondays from 6:00-7:00 p.m. for youth, and from 7:00-8:00 p.m. for adults. Learn more by reaching out to Inna Duerr: 734-477-6833.

We are in need of three regular photographers for our Saturday evening/Sunday morning services. WE WILL TRAIN YOU. We have to train you in fact – there are times when we can takes photos and times when we can’t and we will explain that all to you. We have four teen gentlemen who are providing live video of the Divine Services so we would like to concentrate on young ladies for this task. But young gentlemen are welcome to join our photography cadre too. We are seeking those who do NOT serve in the altar or sing in the choir already. That is, those who are not involved/engaged in some sort of ministry in the parish presently. Those who volunteer will be assigned two weekend cycles of Divine Services per month (Saturday evening/Sunday morning), plus occasional feast day services like Nativity. Contact Fr. Gregory to learn more.

JOIN US AS YOUR PERSONAL SCHEDULE ALLOWS!

ALL UPCOMING ACTIVITIES AT ST. VLADIMIR'S!

“Thoughts filled with love, mercy, patience, and respect attract God’s grace, and those that harbor anger, hatred, and pride drive it away. If we are overcome by anger, hatred, and pride, it indicates that God’s image within us is damaged.”

Metroplitan Onuphry of Kiev & All Ukraine

Fr. Gregory: That image can be repaired by the medicine found in the Spiritual Hospital, the Orthodox Church.

All are welcome at St. Vladimir's! Pleae join us this Sunday! More information can be found at this link, and we encourage you to share this with family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers!
