Thank you ALL for your part in making this year’s festival perhaps the best ever! Those are not my words (Fr. Gregory), those are the words of tons of our guests who were absolutely blown away by your efforts! And – the incredible outcomes that came from those efforts. We will send out a volunteer survey soon – and we ask you PLEASE: tell us how we could do it better next year. But for now – let’s celebrate an AMAZING FESTIVAL! Feedback will be ASAP – perhaps even a rough idea of how we did financially this Sunday. That is not a promise – but a goal. :) Tentative dates for 2026: September 19 & 20!

YES - IT'S A PARTY!
A CLEAN UP PARTY! If we all show up and work hard after work tonight we will be almost done! We are close to the finish line - help us push across by pitching in tonight!!!

"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.

Confession and Communion are the two sacraments we most often partake of as Orthodox Christians and thus it behooves us to learn about these, how to prepare for these, and how to best take advantage of the Grace that our Lord freely gives us in these sacraments. At St. Vladimir’s we have created a special web site for this purpose with much information in this regard. Please find the web site listed below and please contact Fr. Gregory with questions!
