No Services Tonight 
2/2/22, 03:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory


Services on Wednesday, February 2, at 6:00 p.m. are canceled due to the winter weather. Additionally, our plow truck seems to have died. We will continue to work on that. Please remember Sergei and Vladislav, who head up this important work in our parish.

Either way, whether the plow truck can be revived or not, all snow should be removed ahead of the services for St. Ksenia this Friday night at 6:00 p.m. and Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m.

Thank you for your understanding.

In Christ,

Fr. Gregory

Weekly Educational Offering - Prepare for the Coming Sunday! 
2/2/22, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

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.

For All: from the Antiochian Archdiocese (various age groups)

No Services Tonight or Tomorrow 
1/2/22, 05:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory


Friends,

Please note that, due to the heavy expected snowfall, we will not have Liturgy and Pre-K Catechism on Wednesday morning as scheduled. There will also be no evening services on Tuesday (today).

Please spread the word to those that you know, or even suspect, were planning to attend the Liturgy or the class.

Thank you for your understanding. And for your prayers as I traveled. After a 30 hour travel adventure (which would normally be about 14), including an overnight in the Paris airport, that was not part of my original itinerary, I have returned safely. There's even more, but I'll tell you more on Sunday. All's well that ends well I guess. :)

See you soon at St. Vladimir's! But not tomorrow!

Fr. Gregory

Monday First Things - Teachings of the Holy Fathers

In every situation, always try to be pleasant, that is, maintain a peaceful and humble spirit. Do not judge, or grieve anyone, striving so that your words, according to the commandments of the apostles, will be mixed with spiritual salt.

Scripture Reading for the Coming Week 
30/1/22, 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: James 2:14-26 & Mark 10:46-52
Tuesday: James 3:1-10 & Mark 11:11-23
Wednesday: James 3:11-4:6 & Mark 10:22-26
Thursday: James 4:7-5:9 & Mark 11:27-33
Friday: I Peter 1:1-2, 10-12, 2:6-10 & Mark 12:1-12
Saturday: I Thessalonians 5:14-23 & Luke 17:3-10

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