Festival Sponsorship – How YOU can Help!  
3/9/18, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

Please spread the word about festival sponsorships to your doctor, your dentist, your hair stylist, your dog groomer, your grass cutter, your water softener folks, etc., etc. YOU spend money (hundreds or thousands of dollars) at these businesses each year. Most of these businesses would be HAPPY to sponsor our festival since you have established a relationship already. The only way they will not sponsor the festival? If YOU don’t ask! So ask! :)

Share the information with them below - and consider sponsoring the festival yourself - every contribution helps us succeed!

SPONSOR THE FESTIVAL NOW!

Monday First Things: Teachings of the Holy Fathers 
3/9/18, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

“Jesus tells us that His holy Disciples will be more courageous and more understanding when they would be, as the Scripture says, Endowed with power from on high (Luke 24:49), and that when their minds would be illuminated by the torch of the Spirit they would be able to see into all things, even though no longer able to question Him bodily present among them. The Saviour does not say that they would no longer as before need the light of His guidance, but that when they received His Spirit, when He was dwelling in their hearts, they would not be wanting in any good thing, and their minds would be filled with most perfect knowledge.”

Scripture Reading for the Coming Week 
2/9/18, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

"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.

Monday: Galatians 2:11-16 & Mark 5:24-34
Tuesday: Galatians 2:21-3:7 & Mark 6:1-7
Wednesday: Galatians 3:15-22 & Mark 6:7-13
Thursday: Galatians 3:23-4:5 & Mark 6:30-45
Friday: Galatians 4:8-21 & Mark 6:45-53
Saturday: I Corinthians 4:17-5:5 & Matthew 24:1-13

Please find below several very nice articles on how to read the scripture from an Orthodox point of view.

By St. Justin (Popovich):

http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/phronema/bible_how.aspx

By Bishop Kalistos (Ware):

http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/phronema/ware_howto.aspx

This short article explains to us not just HOW to read the scriptures, but also what our goal should be in reading the scriptures. A short read and well worth it:

As noted in the article above we need God's help and blessing to read and understand the scriptures correctly. What better way to entreat God's help in this regard than through prayer? Please find the prayer before reading the scriptures here:

Addie Lanterman Taking Clients after September 4 
1/9/18, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

Our own Addie Lanterman will begin seeing clients for counseling beginning on September 4. Addie has her Master’s in Social Work and will be able to counsel within the context of our Orthodox Faith. This is very important since many secular counselors actively promote non-Orthodox Christian values. With Addie you know you and your family will not be pushed to engage in activities that violate your faith. You can make an appointment with Addie by calling 1-810-494-7180. Visit her group’s web site here:

http://www.perspectivestherapyservices.com

Or see her profile here:

https://www.perspectivestherapyservices.com/therapist/addie-lanterman/.

Please support Addie and be sure to spread the word. We have a terrible lack of Orthodox counselors in the Metro Detroit area. Addie’s decision to go into private practice is a huge help in this regard!
