DIVINE SERVICES FOR SUNDAY, JULY 31, 2022
As of August 20, 2021 we recommend (but do not mandate) masking for indoor activities at St. Vladimir’s. Join us!

Brotherhood, Sisterhood, Clergy, Choir – EVERYONE! We all need to chip in an take care of the property the Lord has given to us, just as we all need to work together to execute our beautiful Divine Services. Please mark your calendars now for every second Saturday of the month for an all-parish work day. Every season. Every month. Inside. Outside. Always every second Saturday starting at 10:00 a.m. please plan to join us to pitch in as we make our parish shine as the House of God that it is! Invite friends! Everyone is welcome! And it just isn’t fair to expect that “someone else” will do this. We all own our parish in that the Lord has given us to be here and to the responsibility that He has given us to care for His House.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL WITH OUR PARISH FEAST DAY, OUR SECOND PASCHA!

DIVINE LITURGY TODAY AT 9:00 A.M.!

Our Microschooling Program for the 2022-23 school year is open for enrollment! Learn more now and enroll your children by visiting this link:

MICROSCHOOLING PROGRAM 2022-23

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 (various age groups)

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.

THIS LAST WEEK WE SOLD 420 BOARDS AND 244 SHEETS OF DRYWALL! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF OUR SCHOOL!!!

As of today we have sold 575 2x4s. Therefore we have 75 boards to go!

As of today we have sold 415 sheets of drywall. Therefore we have 10 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!

DOUBLE YOUR DONATION TODAY

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Cross Procession in Chelsea on July 24! We got a lot of positive feedback from those driving and walking by, the weather was great, and we were able to pray all through the procession.

SAVE THE DATE FOR THE NEXT PROCESSION: SEPTEMBER 11 IN YPSILANTI!
More detailed information will be available soon, but you can sign up now at the link below. Join us for a short procession (1-2 miles walking at most). During the procession we will stop at some logical place (town square, etc.) and hold a short concert and/or serve a short moleben. We will provide a traditional Orthodox witness to our communities: we will have information about Orthodox Christianity available for those who are interested, and talk to those who would like to learn more. Don’t miss this great opportunity to bring our faith to our neighbors! Sign up for Ypsilanti today!
