“If we had been born slaves, we would get beatings and slaps every day. But now we don’t even bear a cold word from a weak brother. O foolish and uncircumcised in heart! At a small temptation, we are quick to deny Him. We prefer eternal separation from Christ and eternal union with Satan, rather than humbly enduring a momentary trial!”
Monastic Wisdom: The Letters of Elder Joseph the Hesychast by Elder Joseph Hesychast

"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: I Thessalonians 1:1-5 & Luke 10:22-24
Tuesday: I Thessalonians 1:6-10 & Luke 11:1-10
Wednesday: I Thessalonians 2:1-8 & Luke 11:9-13
Thursday: I Thessalonians 2:9-14 & Luke 11:14-23
Friday: I Thessalonians 2:14-19 & Luke 11:23-26
Saturday: II Corinthians 8:1-5 & Luke 8:16-21

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!

Danger - if you do not change your clocks back one hour on Saturday night when you go to bed you will be EARLY to Church on Sunday - and nobody wants that! :) Don't forget: FALL BACK ONE HOUR!

As we prepare for our annual meeting on March 10, 2024 is it important that those who have not yet paid their 2023 membership dues in fact do this to participate in the meeting. And given our membership dues are not too much ($55/year for a working adult and $27.50 for non working adults) why not just take care of 2024 now too? By joining St. Vladimir's you show your visible support of the parish which nourishes you and your family spiritually. We all hope the parish will be there when we need it (for marriages, funerals, baptisms, etc.). By joining the parish we support it both spiritually and financially. To renew your membership or to become a new member, please contact our membership coordinator: Dmitry Knysh (dmitriknysh@hotmail.com or 734-358-5996) or our parish Secretary: Marina Edwards (mpsomsk@yahoo.com or 734-358-9458).
