ONE: UPDATE ON NEW BUILDING PROGRESS
We sent an update in THE MONDAY FIVE. We hope everyone reads that and takes the words of St. Dorotheos to heart. At the same time, we are now all set to be on the June meeting agenda at the Planning Commission and Fr. Gregory had a good meeting with the Township Supervisor this week. There are TONS of things happening in the background to get us to ground breaking on our feast day – July 28. Your continued prayers are CRUCIAL to seeing this project to success. Please read the prayer of St. Gabriel of Georgia every day, that the Lord’s will be done in this and every aspect of our parish life at STV! Where can you find that prayer? Right here:

TWO: ALL-ENGLISH SERVICES ARE TONIGH/TOMORROW
Sometimes Orthodox Christianity is called the best kept secret in America. Maybe that isn’t really true anymore – lots of people are learning about Orthodox Christianity and visiting STV. But we want to make it AS EASY AS POSSIBLE for people to access the Divine Services of the Holy Church – the Theology in Action that has led so many to transformation in Christ and to sainthood. Yes – the Church is in the business of making saints. So invite your friends and loved ones to become saints! Invite them to the next all-English service and join them there! Make sure that Orthodoxy is NEVER AGAIN the best kept secret in America!
ALL-ENGLISH SCHEDULE 2026

THREE: 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 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!

FOUR: PROSPHORA BAKER NEEDED
We need another prosphora baker in our parish! We already have a dedicated team, but we need to add one more baker to that team. This is a very blessed obedience - the opportunity to make sure that the Divine Liturgy is served at STV as often as possible. We need lots of prosphora to keep up with our robust schedule of services! You can make a difference! We will train you how to bake the prosphora. Please contact Fr. Gregory if you are interested.

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!
