DIVINE SERVICES FOR SUNDAY, JULY 3, 2022
As of August 20, 2021 we recommend (but do not mandate) masking for indoor activities at St. Vladimir’s. Join us!

Fr. Colin will begin a new Catechism class begins on July 7 at 6:00 p.m. at St. Vladimir’s. This class will meet monthly to prepare inquirers to become Catechumens, to prepare Catechumens for baptism, and to help those of us who are already Orthodox to learn more about our faith. On the third Sunday of each month there will be a lecture during the parish meal, and after that lecture a short touch base for those participating in the class. Please join us! Reserve your spot by emailing info@stvladimiraami.org.

At the Parish Council meeting on March 11, 2017 a Stewardship Education Team was appointed by the Parish Council consisting of Fr. Gregory, Jack (Alexey) Mitchel, and Leta (Ksenia) Nikulshina. The charge of this team is to provide our parish family with educational information about stewardship. In this regard, we intend to send out an email and post on our parish web site a quarterly communication in preparation for a quarterly parish finance report out.

Please find the quarterly communication at the link below. Please note that we will have a question and answer period and report out during the parish meal on Sunday, July 17, 2022 to allow for questions in an open forum. However, please feel free to contact any of us, or any of the Parish Council members, with questions at any time. Or, if you prefer, use the second link below to ask a question or make a comment anonymously.

We thank you sincerely for your generous support of our parish! And we look forward to hearing from you at your convenience regarding this information.

We are gearing up for our Microschool program this coming fall. But we need help! If you know about advertising, or are willing to help with advertising, please email info@a2oca.org. We have a GREAT school board, but we don’t have anyone who know about this. We can have the BEST PROGRAM (and we think we do), but if no one knows about it it just doesn’t matter. So help us spread the word! Volunteer to help with advertising our school today!

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 Various Ages: from the Antiochian Archdiocese (various age groups)

Please plan to join us for Divine Services July 1 at 6:00 p.m. and July 2 at 8:00 a.m. to mark the commemoration of St. John of Shanghai & San Francisco, our Brotherhood’s patron saint! All brothers are called upon to attend the Divine Services and to partake of Holy Communion on the day of their patron. On Sunday, July 3 at 5:00 p.m., at Head Brother Konstantin Poplavsky’s home, there will be a pot luck meal and celebration of our patron saint. There is always a planning session for future projects at this meal too, so bring your best ideas! Present and future brothers are welcome and encouraged to participate in all these events!

God willing, Subdeacon Dmitri Mihaliov will be ordained a deacon on Saturday, August 27 for service at our St. Vladimir parish. Ordination is the sacrament of the Holy Church that we probably least often participate in, but it is important that we all participate in this ordination appropriately. We ask all our parishioners to review the ordination instructions here and to address questions to Fr. Gregory or Fr. Colin. Please remember - the Divine Liturgy begins at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 27.

ORDINATION INSTRUCTIONS

We have a matching grant! For every board or sheet of drywall you buy between now and July 28 an anonymous donor will buy another! That is, your donation is doubled! If you give $5 – our school gets $10. What does that mean? OUR GOAL IS TO BUY EVERYTHING NEEDED INTERIOR CONSTRCTION BY OUR PARISH FEAST DAY: JULY 28! We can do this if we do it together – and with generous help from our anonymous donor.

To complete the inside of our school we need 650 2x4 boards and we need 425 sheets of drywall.

As of today we have sold 155 2x4s. Therefore we have 495 boards to go!

As of today we have sold 171 sheets of drywall. Therefore we have 254 sheets to go!

We ask only that you note what you are buying so we can keep track of how many boards are still left to go! You could also use Zelle if that is easier, with “treasurer@stvladimiraami.org” as the entity to transfer to. Or Venmo “@stvladimirchurch”. LET’S FINISH BUILDING OUR SCHOOL!

BUILDING THE INTERIOR OF THE SCHOOL

Let us humble ourselves and implore the help of God. He can help one who is tempted, for He Himself was tempted.
