FIVE LINES FOR EVERY ST. VLADIMIRIAN TO READ FOR THIS WEEK!

Brothers & Sisters - St. Vladimirians,

We are about to undertake the biggest project in the history of our parish. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you make the time to read the file found here - expect to spend 10 to 15 minutes on this, plus time for prayer afterwards:

NEW CHURCH COMMUNICATION
So far we have successfully executed the first four phases of our master plan. We asked for your support, you gave it, and we delivered. There is no reason to believe that this project will be any different, if we all play our part. As a parish family we have shown time and again that with our effort, and seeking the Lord's blessing, there is nothing we cannot accomplish. If we follow that pattern in the next phases of our construction (we make our sincere effort and ask God to bless our labors) I believe we can have hope that we will be successful in the coming work also.

Please note that we will have a parish meeting on Sunday, November 2, 2025. More to come on that soon. The Lord is giving us an incredible opportunity - to build a new church for His glory!

I'm excited to begin this next phase of our master plan as a parish family, and I hope you are too!

In Christ,

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.

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!
