SHARE A MEAL WITH US AFTER LITURGY THIS SUNDAY
ONE: FESTIVAL PICTURES AND VIDEOS!
Save the date for next year’s festival! September 18-19, 2027 we will again welcome the world (well, that is a bit of an exageration, but not too much!) to STV for the Ann Arbor Russian Orthodox Festival. See the PICTURES and VIDEOS from this year’s festival and enjoy!
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: SCHEDULE CHANGE!
This Sunday we will have a financial meeting during the parish meal. The following will be on the agenda:
Q2-2026 PARISH FINANCIALS*
2026 RUSSIAN ORTHODOX FESTIVAL FINANCIALS
NEW BUILDING PROJECT FINANCIALS
Please join us to discuss all these things, to receive good news, and to receive the challenges that the Lord is giving us. We know from St. Paul that the Lord gives the grace to bear the challenge, but we have to trust Him, and work as hard as we can, to utilize that grace to overcome the challenge. Please join us!
*Sorry – no big Stewardship Education letter, etc., this time. Just too much going on to get that done too.
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!
