Fr. Colin will lead our Teen Youth Group in the reading of “Alexander Schmorell: Saint of the German Resistance”. To acquire the book please see Svetlana in the parish Kiosk. This is a VERY important book about a contemporary (World War II) Orthodox saint who resisted the evil of totalitarianism.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE BOOK AND THE AUTHOR

Please join us every Saturday until the festival at 10:00 a.m. This Saturday, next Saturday, EVERY SATURDAY! Many hands make light work! And this is our chance to work together as a parish family to accomplish something great! Our biggest fund raiser of the year! Our biggest missionary outreach of the year! JOIN THE WINNING TEAM! See you on Saturday!

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.

We need someone to lead our ride to church ministry! Good news: we already have a backup to help, but we need someone to lead and be the main point of contact. Please contact Fr. Gregory if you can help!

FIVE LINES FOR EVERY ST. VLADIMIRIAN TO READ FOR THIS WEEK!

LEARN MORE: ENGLISH ~ РУССКИЙ

The labors of the righteous cultivate the fruit of life, but the labors of sinners are filled with ruin. Join yourself to the former and withdraw from the latter; avoid empty labors that do not produce good fruit.

St. Ephraim the Syrian
A Spiritual Psalter, Psalm 43

"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.
