Priest Ordination August 27 - Instructions for Parishioners 
24/8/23, 06:00 PM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

God willing, Deacon Dmitri Mihaliov will be ordained a priest on Sunday, August 27 for service at our St. Ambrose Mission in Mackinaw City. Ordination is the sacrament of the Holy Church that we probably least often participate in, but it is important that we all participate in this ordination appropriately. We ask all our parishioners to review the ordination instructions here and to address questions to Fr. Gregory or Fr. Colin. Please remember - the Divine Liturgy begins at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, August 27.

Weekly Educational Offering - Prepare for the Coming Sunday! 
23/8/23, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

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

Dormition Fast Began August 14 
22/8/23, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

Please note that the Lenten period in preparation for the feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God begins on August 14. This is fast of a stricter character, similar to Great Lent. Fish is allowed only on the feast of the Transfiguration, August 19. It is important that we make a sincere effort at fasting by abstaining from meat and dairy products, but with the express intent of abstaining from these foods to aid us in abstaining from our sins and preparing ourselves worthily for the feast of the Dormition. As with all fasting periods, we abstain from meat and dairy products during this fast. The full schedule of Divine Services denotes the strictness of the fasting days and can be found here:

Those who have questions about fasting should contact Fr. Gregory or Fr. Colin.

Monday First Things - Teachings of the Holy Fathers 
21/8/23, 06:00 AM
Posted by Fr. Gregory

“So come to your senses and expel those words from your nous. Even if a humble person falls ten thousand times, he will rise once again, and his fall is reckoned as a victory. But as soon as a proud person falls into sin, he also falls into despair and his heart hardens, and then he no longer wants to rise. Despair is a mortal sin, and the devil rejoices in it more than anything. But it disperses immediately through confession.”

Scripture Reading for the Coming Week 
20/8/23, 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: II Corinthians 5:10-15 & Mark 1:9-15
Tuesday: II Corinthians 5:15-21 & Mark 1:16-22
Wednesday: II Corinthians 6:11-16 & Mark 1:23-28
Thursday: II Corinthians 7:1-10 & Mark 1:29-35
Friday: II Corinthians 7:10-16 & Mark 2:18-22
Saturday: I Corinthians 1:26-29 & Matthew 20:29-34

Понедельник: II Кор. 5:10-15 и от Марка 1:9-15
Вторник: II Кор. 5:15-21 и от Марка 1:16-22
Среда: II Кор. 6:11-16 и от Марка 1:23-28
Четверг: II Кор. 7:1-10 и от Марка 1:29-35
Пятница: II Кор. 7:10-16 и от Марка 2:18-22
Суббота: I Кор. 1: 26-29 и от Матфея 20:29-34

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