THIS COMING SUNDAY’S PARISH BULLETINS ENGLISH + РУССКИЙ

SHARE A MEAL WITH US AFTER LITURGY THIS SUNDAY
ONE: NEW BUILDING PROJECT UPDATE
BIG BIG NEWS FROM PARISH PARISH COUNCIL ON FUND RAISING – GOOD NEWS + GOOD PARISH CHALLENGE!

TWO: A2OCA LOTS HAPPENING! YOU CAN HELP!
We have a BIG push at A2OCA to advertise our preschool offerings for the coming year. YOU CAN HELP! How? By engaging with our social media posts in this regard. Like them. Leave a positive comment. Share them. This helps us a TON. This is called organic engagement and it is the BEST way to spread the word. Plus: tell everyone you know to register their preschool aged child at A2OCA!

THREE: PICK UP FESTIVAL YARD SIGNS BEGINNING THIS SUNDAY!
Please grab a packet of yard signs and put them out in your area beginning this Sunday! We’re building a new church! We need to fill it with new faithful! The festival is a GREAT way to introduce new people to our faith. DO YOUR PART! Put out some yard signs beginning this week!

FOUR: DORMITION OF THE THEOTOKOS IS THIS WEEK – BUT NOT AT STV
As is our usual practice, when the Dormition of the Theotokos DOES NOT fall on a Sunday, we will join our brothers and sisters in Christ at the Dormition Cathedral in Ferndale for the feast of the Dormition. NO SERVICES AT STV! Please join us if at all possible – Bishop Spyridon will lead the Divine Services.

FIVE: GROUND BREAKING IS AUGUST 30!
On Sunday, August 30 our ruling hierarch, Bishop Spyridon, will lead us in prayer. At that Liturgy a Deacon will be ordained for service in Fr. Moses McPherson’s parish in Austin, Texas. And Fr. Moses will join us too! It is going to be a great day, but it doesn’t end with the Liturgy! After the Liturgy we will process to the building site of our new church and hall and perform the blessing of the land and the official ground breaking. DO NOT MISS! Invite friends, loved ones, strangers, even people you don’t really like that much! EVERYONE IS WELCOME! Big parish weekly meal to follow the ground breaking, as always.

BONUS: 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!
