Youth Groups Thank You! 
3/5/22, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

We had superb Youth Groups Sunday! Thank you to all who supported the efforts at Forest Hill Cemetery for the greeting of our departed loved ones and parish family members there with the feast of the Resurrection! And especially to those who stayed after the service and walked through the cemetery with the kids telling the stories of those who are there – those that came before us and made it possible for us to even have a parish in Ann Arbor, and all the hard work they did on our behalf. We hope the young people got the message: we work here and now for those who will come after us. We will not see most of the fruit that comes from our God-pleasing labors. But future generations will! And they too will thank us and pray for us for the work we do on behalf of the Church here and now. So let us continue to work, thanking those who came before us, and investing in those that will come after us.

The Young Adult group met at Fr. Gregory’s for a barbecue later in the evening and it was a super turnout with super conversations. Lots of fun, and lots of learning and sharing. The next Youth Group meetings will be on June 26 – please mark your calendars now for that afternoon!

Monday First Things - Teachings of the Holy Fathers 
2/5/22, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory


A serpent, when it wants to change its old skin for a new one, passes through a very tight and narrow opening, and in this way, it is easy for it to shed its old skin. So also, when a man wants to shed the old man, he must travel the narrow path of fulfilling the commandments of the Gospel.

Scripture Reading for the Coming Week 
1/5/22, 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: Acts 3:19-26 & John 2:1-11
Tuesday: Acts 4:1-10 & John 3:16-21
Wednesday: Acts 4:13-22 & John 5:17-24
Thursday: Acts 4:23-31 & John 5:24-30
Friday: Acts 5:1-11 & John 5:30-6:2
Saturday: Acts 5:21-33 & John 6:14-27

Ïîíåäåëüíèê: Äåÿí. 3:19-26 è îò Èîàííà John 2:1-11
Âòîðíèê: Äåÿí. 4:1-10 è îò Èîàííà 3:16-21
Ñðåäà: Äåÿí. 4:13-22 è îò Èîàííà 5:17-24
×åòâåðã: Äåÿí. 4:23-31 è îò Èîàííà 5:24-30
Ïÿòíèöà: Äåÿí. 5:1-11 è îò Èîàííà 5:30-6:2
Ñóááîòà: Äåÿí. 5:21-33 è îò Èîàííà 6:14-27

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

Posted by Fr. Gregory

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!
