			<title>Weekly Educational Offering - Prepare for the Coming Sunday!</title>
			<link>http://www.stvladimiraami.org/index.php?entry=entry260408-120000</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<center><img src="images/Grow-your-faith.jpg" width="480" height="360" border="0" alt="" /></center><br />We present here a short educational offering for both children and adults on the upcoming Sunday&#039;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.<br /><br /><center><b>For Various Ages: <a href="https://antiochianprodsa.blob.core.windows.net/websiteattachments/2025-04-20-B.pdf" target="_blank" >from the Antiochian Archdiocese </a></b></center>]]></description>

			<title>Confess Early – but not Often – for Pascha</title>
			<link>http://www.stvladimiraami.org/index.php?entry=entry260407-180000</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<center><img src="images/confession.jpg" width="352" height="604" border="0" alt="" /></center><br />Those who confess beginning on Friday, April 3 and any time during Holy Week may partake of Divine Communion during any of the Holy Week &amp; Bright Week Divine Liturgies if they have read their pre-Communion rule. Please plan to come to Confession early in Holy Week so that your Confession will not be rushed due to long lines of others waiting for Confession. <b>ONCE YOU HAVE CONFESSED YOU SHOULD NOT CONFESS AGAIN UNLESS YOU FALL INTO A VERY, VERY, VERY SERIOUS SIN.</b> In other words, if you come for a second confession during this time please have a police report to present to the priest explaining your sin. There are MANY who need to confess this week - literally hundreds. Please be merciful to your priests and only confess one time unless there is an extraordinarily serious need to confess a second time.]]></description>

			<title>Scripture Reading for the Coming Week</title>
			<link>http://www.stvladimiraami.org/index.php?entry=entry260405-180000</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<center><img src="images/jesusreadinginthetemple.jpg" width="480" height="503" border="0" alt="" /></center><br />&quot;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?&quot; -St. John Chrysostom, Homily IX on Colossians.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Monday: Matthew 21:18-43, Ezekiel 1:1-20, Exodus 1:1-20, Job 1:1-12, Matthew 24:3-35<br />Tuesday: Matthew 22:15-23:39, Ezekiel 1:21-2:1, Exodus 2:5-10, Job 1:13-22, Matthew 24:36-26:2<br />Wednesday: John 12:17-50, Ezekiel 2:3-3:3, Exodus 2:11-22, Job 2:1-10, Matthew 26:6-16<br />Thursday: Luke 22-1-39, Matthew 26:1-20, John 13:3-17, Matthew 26:21-39, Luke 22:43-45, Matthew 26:40-27:2<br />Friday: Please attend the Divine Services – the list of readings is too long to publish here<br />Saturday: Romans 6:3-11 &amp; Matthew 28:1-20<br /><br />Понедельник: от Матфея 21:18-43, Иезекииля 1:1-20, Исход 1:1-20, Иов Job 1:1-12, от Матфея24:3-35<br />Вторник: от Матфея 22:15-23:39, Иезекииля 1:21-2:1, Исход 2:5-10, Иов Job 1:13-22, от Матфея 24:36-26:2<br />Среда: от Иоанна 12:17-50, Иезекииля 2:3-3:3, Исход 2:11-22, Иов Job 2:1-10, от Матфея 26:6-16<br />Четверг: от Луки 22-1-39, от Матфея 26:1-20, от Иоанна 13:3-17, от Матфея 26:21-39, от Луки 22:43-45, от Матфея 26:40-27:2<br />Пятница: Пожалуйста приходите в божественные службы.<br />Суббота: Рим. 6:3-11 &amp; от Матфея 28:1-20<br /><br />Please find below several very nice articles on how to read the scripture from an Orthodox point of view.<br /><b><center><br /><a href="http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/phronema/bible_how.aspx" target="_blank" >By St. Justin (Popovich)</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.orthodoxinfo.com/phronema/ware_howto.aspx" target="_blank" >By Bishop Kalistos (Ware)</a></center></b>]]></description>

			<title>Confession &amp; Communion at St. Vladimir’s + Rule to Prepare for Communion</title>
			<link>http://www.stvladimiraami.org/index.php?entry=entry260405-060000</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<center><img src="images/mysticalsupper.jpg" width="480" height="271" border="0" alt="" /></center><br />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!<br /><br /><center><b><a href="http://www.stvladimiraami.org/communion/confessioncommunion.shtml" target="_blank" >CONFESSION AND COMMUNION AT ST.

			<title>Blessing Pascha Baskets</title>
			<link>http://www.stvladimiraami.org/index.php?entry=entry260402-180000</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<center><img src="images/paschabasket-b.jpg" width="480" height="320" border="0" alt="" /></center><br />Paschal baskets will be blessed at St. Vladimir&#039;s following the Divine Liturgy on Holy Saturday (April 11) as well as every subsequent Divine Service of Bright Week. It is most traditional for baskets to be blessed after the Divine Liturgy on Pascha itself, but we realize that this does not work for everyone&#039;s schedule, and thus we offer an early opportunity (after the Holy Saturday Divine Liturgy) and later opportunities (after every Divine Service of Bright Week). <b>If you basket is blessed on Holy Saturday after Liturgy you agree that you will not partake of the non-Lenten foods until after the Divine Liturgy on Pascha night, for the fast does not end at midnight, but after the Divine Liturgy on the feast!</b>]]></description>
