Young men, mature men, all men! Being a man in today’s world is a challenge. Being a Christian man is an even greater challenge! Join us for a meal and fellowship at Fr. Gregory’s on Sunday, October 1 at 6:00 p.m. No agenda, except for our mature men to mentor our young men, and our young men to inspire our mature men. If we support each other the body of Christ is strengthened and everyone wins, including Christian women, who need strong Christian men (just as Christian men need strong Christian women).

RSVP HERE!

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 Various Ages: from the Antiochian Archdiocese

Our Head Reader, Ken (Peter) Doll, will offer a class on Saturdays at 5:00 p.m. beginning on October 7, to teach new readers how to read the Hours and the Epistle. Not just HOW to read, but also how to find WHAT is the right thing to read. This class is targeted at the next generation of readers (men and women age 16+), but all are welcome. The class will be in English. Those who would like to learn to read Church Slavonic should alert Ken to this. That will be a separate process, but we do have the ability to train you to read Church Slavonic. Once this class has concluded a second class will be offered (winter or spring), providing a deeper dive into the Liturgics of the Church, teaching students how to compile all the Divine Services, and how to read the appropriate things at Vespers, Matins, and all the Divine Service. To learn more please contact Ken at church or email: headreader@stvladimiraami.org.
