The deployment of the generator was temporarily unsuccessful. However, the generator will be ready tomorrow at 10 a.m. Thus, there will be no Liturgy tomorrow morning. However, the usual Saturday afternoon and Sunday schedule will hold.

Thank you to all for your patience during this time.

Please remember that this Sunday we "spring forward" one hour as we transition to Daylight Savings Time. This is important because if you do not change your clocks you will be not less than one hour late to church! And no one wants that! Please remember to move your clocks forward one hour after vigil on Saturday night. See you - on time - at St. Vladimir's this Sunday! :)

Due to the power outage there will be no Divine Liturgy this morning at St. Vladimir's. We hope to have a generator on site during the day today. More information will be forthcoming.

Please join us for our Great Lenten Lecture Series this Sunday after the Divine Liturgy (during our weekly parish meal). This Sunday we are pleased to welcome Elena Khlemova. The title of Elena's talk is: “Dostoevsky's “House of Death” - Life after Death”. Please join us for what is certain to be a very interesting lecture followed by an even more interesting discussion afterwards! Learn a bit more about this topic before the lecture by visiting this web site:

We present here a short educational offering for both children and adults. 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 Adults: an explanation of the Sunday's gospel reading by Blessed Theophylact:

On Sunday, February 19, 2017 we held our parish annual assembly. Thank you to all who made the meeting informative, interesting, and positive! Minutes of the meeting will be available on our web site once they have been completed by the editing committee – sometime during the first week of Great Lent. We can say that the folks listed were elected to parish offices at yesterday's meeting and, once they have been ratified by Archbishop Peter, will officially take on their duties. All parish elected offices have a term of one year, except Starosta, which has a three year term.

Thank you to all who served last year and to those who are willing to serve this year! We will have a parish special meeting shortly after Pascha to elect two more trustees to the Parish Council, one more member of the Auditing Committee, and to hear the Church School report.

Starosta (term runs through 2019): Jack (Alexey) Mitchell

Treasurer: Marina Edwards

Secretary: Alexandre Alexandrov

Parish Council Trustees:

Natalia Veniaminova

The Great Lenten Lecture Series is coming again this year! More details will be available soon, but we don’t want anyone to be concerned – WE WILL have a lecture each Sunday (and perhaps more often!) of Great Lent following the Divine Liturgy (during coffee hour). More information soon to come!
