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.

An important part of decorating the parish church for the divine services – especially the festal divine services – is the arranging of flowers. We are in need of someone to lead this important effort. If you have the desire but not the skill or experience do not despair – we will train you! Please contact Fr. Gregory (ogrisha@stvladimiraami.org) or Ksenia Nikulshina (headsister@stvladimiraami.org) to learn more!

Please note that there will be no moleben at St. Vladimir's on Tuesday, August 29. Rather, there will be a moleben held in River Rouge at our Downriver Mission at 6:00 p.m. that night. All are welcome to come join our parishioners Downriver to celebrate their new feast day. The Mission was previously named All Saints, but has been renamed by Archbishop Peter "Christ the Savior Mission" with the feast day of August 29.

Please consider joining this effort again this year. In past years St. Vladimir's has been very well represented, but this year it is not being hosted in our parish, but in Northern Indiana. Not a far drive to be sure. We are hoping for another great St. Vladimir's turnout. Please register today!

The great feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord falls on August 19 each year. At this feast, following the Divine Liturgy, we bless the first fruits that are becoming ripe as the harvest begins. In the Greek tradition usually grapes were blessed. In the Russian tradition usually apples. Any fruit is acceptable. Please bring your basket with fruits to the Divine Liturgy on the feast!
