Peace is promised to us in the future life, but here on earth – labor and temptation. “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation.” (James 1:12)

Scripture Reading for the Coming Week 
24/7/22, 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: I Corinthians 5:9-6:11 & Matthew 13:54-58
Tuesday: I Corinthians 6:20-7:12 & Matthew 14:1-13
Wednesday: I Corinthians 7:12-24 & Matthew 14:35-15:11
Thursday: I Corinthians 7:24-35 & Matthew 15:12-21
Friday: I Corinthians 7:35-8:7 & Matthew 15:29-31
Saturday: Romans 12:1-3 & Matthew 10:37-11:1

Ïîíåäåëüíèê: I Êîð. 5:9-6:11 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 13:54-58
Âòîðíèê: I Êîð. 6:20-7:12 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 14:1-13
Ñðåäà: I Êîð. 7:12-24 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 14:35-15:11
×åòâåðã: I Êîð. 7:24-35 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 15:12-21
Ïÿòíèöà: I Êîð. 7:35-8:7 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 15:29-31
Ñóááîòà: Ðèì. 12:1-3 è îò Ìàòôåÿ 10:37-11:1

Confession & Communion at St. Vladimir’s + Rule to Prepare for Communion 
24/7/22, 06:00 AM
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!

Matching Grant IS BEING WASTED – Buy Boards & Drywall Sheets before 7/28/22! 
23/7/22, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

We have a matching grant! For every board or sheet of drywall you buy between now and July 28 an anonymous donor will buy another! That is, your donation is doubled! If you give $5 – our school gets $10. What does that mean? OUR GOAL IS TO BUY EVERYTHING NEEDED INTERIOR CONSTRCTION BY OUR PARISH FEAST DAY: JULY 28! We can do this if we do it together – and with generous help from our anonymous donor.

To complete the inside of our school we need 650 2x4 boards and we need 425 sheets of drywall.

As of today we have sold 155 2x4s. Therefore we have 495 boards to go!

As of today we have sold 171 sheets of drywall. Therefore we have 254 sheets to go!

We ask only that you note what you are buying so we can keep track of how many boards are still left to go! You could also use Zelle if that is easier, with “treasurer@stvladimiraami.org” as the entity to transfer to. Or Venmo “@stvladimirchurch”. LET’S FINISH BUILDING OUR SCHOOL!

Stewardship Education Communication Quarter I 2022 Follow Up 
22/7/22, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

Last Sunday we had a very quick meeting about this. No one had any questions. And no one asked any questions at the Google Form. That is OK! But we can’t over-stress how important it is that we all – each of our parish family – establish a recurring donation to support St. Vladimir’s. Since the inflation rates started to skyrocket our recurring donations have gone down. That is understandable – the media is telling us all to be very afraid. But let us not give way to fear! The Lord does not forget those that support His Church. And those blessings come not just in the next life. Please also remember that as folks have trouble paying their bills there is MORE demand on our parish resources as we try to help those who are in need. The Parish Council met last Sunday and resolved to ask each and every one of our parish family members to establish a recurring donation – at whatever level possible.

How to establish a recurring donation? Visit our Donate Page below – choose any of the vendors we partner with to allow you to do this. And if it is not clear, please ask a Parish Council member. Any of us can get you help.

Finally – the peace that comes from prayerfully considering and then establishing a recurring donation is GREAT. Do not deprive yourself of that peace!
