ONE: YOUTH GROUPS MEET THIS SUNDAY!
This Sunday all Youth Groups meet at Fr. Gregory’s. Parents are welcome too – we will be discussing the plan for Youth Group the rest of this year in addition to discussing the concept of “I’m #3” – an important idea in helping us to build an Orthodox mindset. Learn more/sign up below! JOIN US!

TWO: OCTOBER WORK DAYS SET
This coming month we will have two work days: October 4 and October 25. Mostly because, although we did GREAT at cleaning up the festival field, because that had to be done rather quickly on Sunday night and Monday, there is some organization that needs to take place in the barn. AND, we should be putting pavers in on our walkway around the church. So – LOTS TO DO! The work days will be right after Liturgy with a cup of coffee and light snack, then after a few hours of work together as a parish family we will eat together as a parish family. Invite friends! Seriously – the community we are bulding at STV is something that people WANT to be a part of. Participating in a work day with your friend who invited you is a great first step!
THREE: STEWARDSHIP EDUCATION COMMUNICATION
At the Parish Council meeting on March 11, 2017 a Stewardship Education Team was appointed by the Parish Council consisting of Fr. Gregory, Jack (Alexey) Mitchell as Starosta (now Brendan Hayden), and Leta (Ksenia) Nikulshina. The charge of this team is to provide our parish family with educational information about stewardship. In this regard, we intend to send out an email and post on our parish web site a quarterly communication in preparation for a quarterly parish finance report out.
Please find the quarterly communication at the link below. Please feel free to contact any of us, or any of the Parish Council members, with questions at any time. Or, if you prefer, use the second link below to ask a question or make a comment anonymously.
WE HAD A MEETING ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2026 DURING THE PARISH MEAL TO DISCUSS THIS COMMUNICATION
We thank you sincerely for your generous support of our parish! And we look forward to hearing from you at your convenience regarding this information.
We didn’t include a letter with this communication – just the data. So we provide this small narrative here to help decode a bit of the reality of the data:
ONE – In order to cover a $1.5MM loan we need about $13,000 per month.
TWO – Our Treasurer notes that we have about $10,000 per month to dedicate to this payment.
THREE – in order to garner $3,000 per month we would need ten of our giving units (family or single home) to give $30 more per month, or about $1/day. Or we need ten NEW giving units (people who have not established a recurring donation) to give $1/day. Please think about how YOU could help.

With Love in our Lord Jesus Christ,
Fr. Gregory, Brendan, Leta

FOUR: LOTS HAPPENING AT STV – NOT DIVINE SERVICES
Please note the following – and please join us!
OCTOBER 18: ALL YOUTH GROUPS MEET
OCTOBER 29: MEN’S GROUP DINNER
NOVEMBER 5: YOUNG FAMILY DINNER GROUP
FIVE: STV FINANCIAL AMBASSADORS – BUILDING OUR NEW CHURCH
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 new building project financially strong and successful. That is, how to establish a tithe that works for you. Those conversations will remain anonymous and confidential. 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!
