We have the opportunity to receive a large amount of very expensive classroom materials for our ANN ARBOR ORTHODOX CLASSICAL ACADEMY – FOR FREE! But we need help storing these things as we rework our barn to increase the storage capacity there. If you can help us to store these things safely – so they will not be damaged – please reach out to Fr. Gregory right away. These things are only on offer until the beginning of July! We need to move fast. Total space needed is about the size of a medium U-Haul truck.

This Sunday (June 29)! Next Sunday (July 6)! All Festival t-shirts on sale for $10. Get yourself ready for this year’s festival with super cool, difficult to find, and classic t-shirts from previous festivals! We don’t encourage any sort of envy, of course, but others will certainly be “impressed” by your awesome Ann Arbor Russian Orthodox Festival shirts. First come first served – only at STV!

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.

"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.
