http://www.stvladimiraami.org/index.php?entry=entry260909-140000
Dear St. Vladimirians,
This morning our second oldest parishioner, Natalia Vasilievna Dale, reposed in the Lord in her 99th year, the day after her Name’s Day. She would have been 100 on January 7, 2027. She was not our oldest parishioner, but she was the last living parishioner of the St. Hilarion parish, which existed in Ann Arbor from 1951-61. She was also a founder of our parish in 1981, and served zealously in our Sisterhood and our Choir for many decades for the glory of God. On one hand, everyone wants to live a long life on this earth, but when you live a life as long as Natalia Vasilievna, all your friends have already gone to their rest before you.
So: IT IS UP TO US, many of whom never met Natalia Vasilievna, to come to the funeral, to read the Psalter overnight from Friday to Saturday, etc. It is our Christian duty to bury the dead, but for someone like this, we need to pull out all the stops. We all need to pitch in and help, because Natalia Vasilievna deserves everything we can muster, since without her and her fellow founders, we would have nothing. It was their zeal and vision that got us to where we are today, a strong parish family on the cusp of beginning construction on a new parish church.
More information will be forthcoming. We THINK the funeral will be Saturday after the Divine Liturgy. But that is still not set. God willing, by later today or early tomorrow, we will know more.
May Natalia’s memory be eternal!
In Christ,
Fr. Gregory ]]>Weekly Educational Offering - Prepare for the Coming Sunday!
http://www.stvladimiraami.org/index.php?entry=entry260909-060000
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.

]]>Scripture Reading for the Coming Week
http://www.stvladimiraami.org/index.php?entry=entry260906-180000
"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.
Scripture Readings for this Week:
Monday: Galatians 2:11-16 & Matthew 5:24-34 Tuesday: Galatians 2:21-3:7 & Matthew 6:1-7 Wednesday: Galatians 3:15-22 & Matthew 6:7-13 Thursday: Galatians 3:23-4:5 & Matthew 6:30-45 Friday: Galatians 4:8-21 & Matthew 6:45-53 Saturday: I Corinthians 4:17-5:5 & Matthew 24:1-13
Ïîíåäåëüíèê: Ãàë. 2:11-16 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 5:24-34 Âòîðíèê: Ãàë. 2:21-3:7 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 6:1-7 Ñðåäà: Ãàë. 3:15-22 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 6:7-13 ×åòâåðã: Ãàë. 3:23-4:5 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 6:30-45 Ïÿòíèöà: Ãàë. 4:8-21 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 6:45-53 Ñóááîòà: I Êîð. 4:17-5:5 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 24:1-13

]]>Confession & Communion at St. Vladimir’s + Rule to Prepare for Communion
http://www.stvladimiraami.org/index.php?entry=entry260906-060000
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!
