SHARE A MEAL WITH US AFTER LITURGY THIS SUNDAY

ONE: GREAT LENT IS OVER – HOLY WEEK IN FULL SWING!
Congratulations to all on the completion of the Holy Forty Days of Great Lent! Now we are in the MOST IMPORTANT days of our Christian Year. Please join us for all of the services that fit your schedule. And then: add one more. Challenge yourself. For when we are at the Divine Services we are mystically present at the events that are commemorated there. We all want to be with the Lord as He raises Lazarus and enters Jerusalem at the outward height of His earthly ministry. We like to be on the winning team! But let us also strive to be with Him when those same people who welcomed Him as King and God to Jerusalem turn on Him and call for His crucifixion. Join us at STV this week and stand by the Lord as He accomplishes all for our salvation!
FULL SCHEDULE HERE - MAKE PLANS TO ATTEND NOW

TWO: CHURCH SCHOOL STARTED 1/24/26!
Tomorrow we meet after Liturgy to prepare palms and pussy willows for the Palm Sunday Vigil. And to have a lesson about this most important time of the year.

THREE: 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!

FOUR: BLESSING PASCHA BASKETS AT STV
Paschal baskets will be blessed at St. Vladimir's following the Divine Liturgy on Holy Saturday (April 11) as well as every subsequent Divine Service of Bright Week. It is most traditional for baskets to be blessed after the Divine Liturgy on Pascha itself, but we realize that this does not work for everyone's schedule, and thus we offer an early opportunity (after the Holy Saturday Divine Liturgy) and later opportunities (after every Divine Service of Bright Week). If you basket is blessed on Holy Saturday after Liturgy you agree that you will not partake of the non-Lenten foods until after the Divine Liturgy on Pascha night, for the fast does not end at midnight, but after the Divine Liturgy on the feast!

FIVE: PASCHAL VESPERS – WEIRDLY ORPHANED AT STV
In most parishes the Paschal Vespers service – held at STV at 2:00 p.m. on the Sunday of Pascha, is a big deal. LOTS of people come and hear the Paschal hymns again – or maybe for the first time if they had to miss the midnight service. Some stay and enjoy Paschal foods with friends. But we mostly ignore this service. That is weird. :) We should try to align our parish practices to the rest of the Orthodox world. JOIN US! Don’t miss this important piece of our Paschal celebrations at STV!
