SHARE A MEAL WITH US AFTER LITURGY THIS SUNDAY
ONE: CONSTRUCTION THIS WEEK!
Things have gone well this week at STV! The retaining wall is complete and the handicapped lot is being prepared for paving. The work will continue over the next few weeks, but we don’t want to deprive you of pictures of the work in case you are on vacation: FIND PICTURES HERE. If you’d like to help us offset the cost of the storm water work you can MAKE A DONATION HERE.
TWO: APOSTLES’ FAST CONTINUES
The Apostles’ fast begins on Monday, June 8 and concludes after Liturgy on the feast of Apostles Peter and Paul on Friday, July 12. Please contact Frs. Gregory, Colin, Vladimir, or Michael with questions about fasting as an indispensable part of our struggle for the Heavenly Kingdom. Please find here SOME GREAT FASTING RECIPES.

FOUR: JULY WORK DAY IS SUNDAY THE 12th
Since we have had trouble getting folks to come out and help on Saturdays, Bishop Spyridon has blessed us to hold our all-parish work day in July on a Sunday. July 12 to be precise. This is also the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul. In other words, we hope that most of our St. Vladimirians will be with us on that day as we wrap up the fast and celebrate that feast for which the fast was given to prepare us. We’ll enjoy breaking the fast together at our weekly parish meal and then we will get to work. Please bring work clothes! Hopefully holding the work day on Sundays will be the ticket to allow everyone to participate in caring for the beautiful campus that the Lord has given us, and which surely, having given it, He will ask us about how we cared for His gift to us.

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!
