As mentioned previously, our plow truck died. We have been working hard to get the parking lots cleared, but the earliest that can happen is late morning Saturday. This means we will have to cancel services for St. Xenia on Friday night and Saturday morning. However, we will combine the services to St. Xenia and the New Martyrs for this Sunday, which is the actual feast day of St. Xenia anyway. Please spread the word to those who you know, or suspect, were planning to attend the services on Friday evening or Saturday morning. We ask your apologies for any inconvenience. We strongly encourage all Sisters to partake of Holy Communion on this important day of their patron saint!

All are welcome at St. Vladimir's! Please 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!

Services on Wednesday, February 2, at 6:00 p.m. are canceled due to the winter weather. Additionally, our plow truck seems to have died. We will continue to work on that. Please remember Sergei and Vladislav, who head up this important work in our parish.

Either way, whether the plow truck can be revived or not, all snow should be removed ahead of the services for St. Ksenia this Friday night at 6:00 p.m. and Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m.

Thank you for your understanding.

In Christ,

Fr. Gregory

We present here a short educational offering for both children and adults on the upcoming Sunday's principle Gospel reading so that all can better prepare for the Divine Services. Parents are asked to review the children’s portion with their children. It is very important for us to attend the Divine Services on Sundays and whenever else we are able, but in addition it is our spiritual responsibility to educate ourselves and our families in the faith. It is our hope that this mid-week offering will be an aid in this regard. Please contact Fr. Gregory with questions or suggestions.

For All: from the Antiochian Archdiocese (various age groups)

Friends,

Please note that, due to the heavy expected snowfall, we will not have Liturgy and Pre-K Catechism on Wednesday morning as scheduled. There will also be no evening services on Tuesday (today).

Please spread the word to those that you know, or even suspect, were planning to attend the Liturgy or the class.

Thank you for your understanding. And for your prayers as I traveled. After a 30 hour travel adventure (which would normally be about 14), including an overnight in the Paris airport, that was not part of my original itinerary, I have returned safely. There's even more, but I'll tell you more on Sunday. All's well that ends well I guess. :)

See you soon at St. Vladimir's! But not tomorrow!

Fr. Gregory
