ONE: HUGE WEEKEND AT STV!
A HUGE weekend is coming up at STV! Pentecost – the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles. The birthday of the Church. One of the greatest of the 12 Great Feasts of the Church. DO NOT MISS!

PENTECOST BBQ COMPETION! Join us to help raise $9,000 for our fire suppression system at our Ann Arbor Orthodox Classical Academy! If you can’t join us, PLEASE MAKE A DONATION TOWARDS THE FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM HERE!
TWO: PREPARING THE PARISH CHURCH FOR PENTECOST
The great feast of Pentecost is May 31. Please join us on Saturday, May 30 for a Memorial Divine Liturgy beginning at 8:00 a.m. Following the Liturgy we will serve a pannykhida, then a baptism for the servant of God Paul. We will then decorate the parish church with boughs, branches, and flowers for the Pentecost vigil. This is a similar activity to our Lazarus Saturday church decoration in preparation for the Palm Sunday vigil. Many good memories are waiting to be had at these sorts of events. Please bring your children! It is especially important for them to participate in these sorts of activities. All are welcome!

THREE: RUSSIAN PEN PAL
There is a Russian man being held in immigration detention for 20 months already. He has reached out and asked to have someone to exchange letters with. Probably best that this be Russian speaking men. If you could help, please contact Fr. Gregory

FOUR: NON-PERISHABLE FOOD COLLECTIONS AT STV
At STV we collect non-perishable food items. Always. We don't have food drives - we do this every single day. There are many people in our local community who are food insecure. We ask our parishioners to bring a can or box of non-perishable and unexpired food every time they come to church. Make this a part of your family worship! The little you give means a lot to a family who is food insecure. Remember our Lord's admonition to us in this regard: "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." (Matthew 25:35-40)

FIVE: STV FINANCIAL AMBASSADORS – BUILDING OUR NEW CHURCH
At our parish meeting on Sunday, February 15, 2026 we made a very exciting decision! We voted to accept a revised design for our parish Church. The parish assembly empowered the parish council to build the church either to the south of the present parish church or to the north of our parking lots (on the festival field) – whichever is most financially advantageous for the parish. We are working hard to figure out that financial question now, and making good progress. But we need to pay for this revised design too. As we said at the meeting – we will pay for this in two ways: EVERYONE tithing, and NAMING OPPORTUNITIES. In the coming weeks our parish Finance Ambassadors (Marina Edwards, Mikhail Fisenkov, Dmitri Knysh) will approach each of our parishioners to discuss how each will give his “mite” to make our project financially strong and successful. That is, how to establish a tithe that works for you. Those conversations will remain anonymous and confidential. When we voted for the original design there was support, but the building fund did not grow in any appreciable way for several months. Thank God – this led us to the revised design! But if we think that SOMEONE ELSE will build OUR new church – we are frankly deluded. WE need to do this. And WE = ALL. Please prayerfully consider how you can support the revised design. Then join the winning team! Leave an Orthodox legacy for your children, grandchildren, and people you do not even know!
