One should go to the morning services, because during the Divine Liturgy the Bloodless Sacrifice is offered to God on our behalf. By attending the morning services in turn offer ourselves as a sacrifice to the Lord, we sacrifice our rest for Him.

"This is the cause of all evils: the ignorance of the Scriptures. We go into battle without arms, and how ought we to come off safe?" -St. John Chrysostom, Homily IX on Colossians.
In order to help increase the general knowledge of scripture in our parish family we present here for your edification the scripture readings for the coming week. At least one Gospel Reading and one Epistle reading are assigned for each day of the year (although during Great Lent the readings are from the Old Testament). Hearing or reading only those readings appointed for Sunday merely scratches the surface of the great spiritual wealth that the scriptures provide us. Some of the readings are easily understandable – others are less so. As Orthodox Christians we do not make private interpretation of scripture, but rather consult the fathers of the Church for their explanations to aid us in our understanding. Those wishing to have access to such explanations are asked to contact Fr. Gregory or inquire in the kiosk for further reading in this regard. Bibles may also be acquired in the kiosk.
Monday: Hebrews 3:5-11,17-19 & Mark 9:42-10:1
Tuesday: Hebrews 4:1-13 & Mark 10:2-12
Wednesday: Hebrews 5:11-6:8 & Mark 10:11-16
Thursday: Hebrews 1:1-12 & Luke 2:1-20
Friday: Galatians 4:4-7 & Matthew 2:1-12
Saturday: Hebrews 2:11-18 & Matthew 2:13-23
Please find below several very nice articles on how to read the scripture from an Orthodox point of view.

Confession and Communion are the two sacraments we most often partake of as Orthodox Christians and thus it behooves us to learn about these, how to prepare for these, and how to best take advantage of the Grace that our Lord freely gives us in these sacraments. At St. Vladimir’s we have created a special web site for this purpose with much information in this regard. Please find the web site listed below and please contact Fr. Gregory with questions!

The Nativity Ball is back! And being planned by two of our young ladies in the parish with full support from our Parish Council. This will give us fresh ideas, perspectives, and a new excitement! We’ve successfully held 20 years of Nativity Balls at St. Vladimir’s – but this year we are “under new management”. :) We’ll build on the great work of our past ball committees with huge thanks for their gargantuan efforts! DO NOT MISS! Tickets on sale here:
