Please find this week's issue of "The Good News" at the link below. This bulletin/handout contains the Troparia and Kontakia that will be sung by the choir at today's Divine Liturgy as well as the readings from the Epistle and Gospel readings of the day - all in both English and Russian. This little bulletin is distributed to visitors and others who may find it useful by our parish Greeters on duty today at St. Vladimir's. We cordially invite you to join us at St. Vladimir's for Divine Liturgy at 10:00 a.m. - or any Sunday soon. You are always welcome at St. Vladimir's!

PLEASE NOTE! We have removed those from the list that we believe no longer should be present there. If you requested that someone be included in this list please review it carefully to make sure we have not removed someone erroneously. If we have, please contact Fr. Gregory to have your loved one again added to the list.

Fr. Gregory, Matushka Elizabeth, Maria, Michael, and Natalia invite all St. Vladimir’s family and friends to their Paschal Open House on Bright Monday, May 2beginning at 6:00 p.m. at their home in Saline. Please join them as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord!

St. Vladimir Parish Family members who would like to donate flowers to decorate the tomb of our Lord for Holy Week and the Paschal Icon for Bright Week are asked to stop in the kiosk or contact Svetlana Sokolova or Elena Mullin to make your donation. Please be sure to provide the names of your loved ones both living and departed to be commemorated at the Holy Week and Bright Week Divine Liturgies when you make your donation. Thank you kindly for your generosity!

Please note that the Liturgy for Lazarus Saturday begins at 9:00 a.m. We usually serve at 8:00 a.m., but this is a special day and so we have moved it to 9:00 a.m. But we have so many publications with the service schedule in them that we don't always catch each instance and we are sorry for the oversight. Tomorrow we begin at 9:00 a.m. and we hope to see you all then!

We congratulate all our readers on today's last day of Great Lent. Today's Presanctified Liturgy is the final Divine Service of Great Lent, with tonight's Matins for Lazarus Saturday being the first Divine Service of Holy Week. May the Lord grant all a spiritually profitable Holy Week! Find the full schedule of services for Holy Week and Bright Week here:

Please join us!

Please plan to come to Confession for Pascha early! All those who confess beginning on Friday, April 22 do not have to confess afterwards again in order to go to Communion on Pascha itself or for the entire Bright Week. Everyone should be planning to go to Communion on Pascha, as this is the Feast of Feasts, the most important spiritual day of the Orthodox year. Please see Fr. Gregory with questions, and PLEASE come early to Confession!

You say you haven't made it to EVERY Divine Service of Great Lent and every Great Lenten Lecture!? Do not be disturbed! Neither has anyone else to be honest. And that is OK! We do not expect every person to attend every Divine Service or every lecture or every anything. Rather, we try to have many services and activities so that everyone can attend at least some of the services and activities. But those you have missed you can find on our Sound of the Parish blog. This makes a wonderful Great Lenten background for your office during the work day too. The link is here:

Fr. Gregory is sick - therefore there will be no Liturgy this evening. Please forgive and please spread the word!
