For those young people who do not sing in the choir or serve in the altar WE NEED YOU! Bells are a very important part of our worship, and we need to get those bells ringing again! Join us this Sunday after the Divine Liturgy for a bell ringing rehearsal/workshop with our Head Bell Ringer John Hill. All are welcome! With Pascha coming up we need to be ready, and that readiness will carry us forward to ringing the bells at every Divine Service!

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!

DIVINE SERVICES FOR SUNDAY, MAY 1, 2022
As of August 20, 2021 we recommend (but do not mandate) masking for indoor activities at St. Vladimir’s. Join us!

As is our usual practice we will visit the graves of our friends and loved ones on Thomas Sunday (May 1) to greet them with the Resurrection of the Lord. We will visit the graves in our parish cemetery on Radonitsa (Tuesday, May 3).

On May 1 We should arrive at Forest Hill Cemetery about 2:30 p.m.

On Radonitsa (Tuesday, May 3) we will serve Liturgy at 8:00 a.m. followed by the first Pannykhida after Pascha and the visit of our parish cemetery. If you have graves that you would like our clergy to visit during this Paschal season please contact Fr. Gregory to arrange a visit.

Fr. Gregory, Elizabeth, Misha, Masha, and Natasha invite everyone to join us for our Pascha party on Sunday, May 15, 2022 at our house in Saline. The rain date is Monday, May 16 2022. Why do we need a rain date? Because we will hold the party outside! We’ll have a bon fire, lots of non-Lenten food, drinks, and hopefully a lot of fun! Don’t know where we live? Please send a note to info@stvladimiraami.org now (not on May 15 when you leave your house!) and we’ll share details with you. Everyone is welcome! Come celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord with our whole parish family in the best post-pandemic style!

Please join us for a barbecue fundraiser for the Ann Arbor Orthodox Classical Academy on Bright Saturday! Lent will be over. Join us for a delicious non-Lenten lunch for a great cause! It is time to finish our school! So we’ll kick off a new campaign *to raise the last funds needed* at this fundraiser. Save the date for a great meal for a great cause at STV on April 30, 2022 at noon. Help build your parish school – create a legacy for generations to come!

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.

In order to not lose the grace of God, strive more to acquire the remembrance of God. One must fulfill the word of God, i.e., the commandments, as the Lord Himself said: “He that hath My commandments, and keepth them, he it is that loveth Me” (John 14:21). In such a way there is achieved sincere service to God, with all one’s heart.
