The feast of the Kursk Root Icon of the Mother of God, a wonderworking icon that has visited us on several occasions, is this coming Saturday. At St. Vladimir's we will hold Divine Services this evening at 6:00 p.m. and tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. This is our December cycle of All English Divine Services and we urge all our parishioners to invite friends and loved ones to these services, and we warmly invite everyone to attend! Please join us!

After our festival, our Christmas Bake Sale is probably our greatest outreach to the community. Let there be no mistake – this is also a fund raiser. So , just like the festival, this can be a missionary activity that also supports our parish. So let’s all join together and make this the BEST BAKE SALE EVER! First, spread the word – share this flyer with everyone you know and everyone you don’t:

Get our Facebook event on your Facebook page – find that on our St. Vladimir Facebook page and share it!

Bake until you drop! Then take a breath, get up, and do it again! :) Contact our Head Sister, Leta Nikulshina, to let her know what you plan to bake so she can manage the overall event and make sure we don’t all make the same cookies. :) Her email is headsister@stvladimiraami.org and her cell number is 734-272-3826. Reach out to her today!

Come hear about Fr. Gregory's trip to Ukraine, see pictures, ask questions, get answers, discuss, learn more. Please join us during our parish meal this Sunday (after the Divine Liturgy)!

We present here a short educational offering for both children and adults. 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.
