SHARE A MEAL WITH US AFTER LITURGY THIS SUNDAY


ONE: NEW CHURCH BUILDING: SPECIFIC ACTION FOR ALL
Many have asked: “exactly what are we to do now – now that we have decided to build?”. The first thing must be, as always, to pray! If the Lord is for us then no one can be against us. But we need to pray AND work. And how we will practically (and very spiritually) get to success can be found at this BLOGTUSHKA POST.

TWO: MOTHER MARIA VISITS FROM BETHANY NOVEMBER 15
We are pleased to announce that we will host Mother Maria, Superior of the Bethany Girls School (just outside Jerusalem) on Saturday, November 15 following the DIVINE LITURGY & PANNYKHIDA that day. Please spread the word about this really unique opportunity to hear from an Orthodox Christian living in the Holy Land in these difficult days, to learn about the life of the school, and more! A free will offering will be taken in support of the Bethany School. Those who would like to make a separate donation to support the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in the Holy Land are welcome to do so as well – just mark your gift “REM” to make sure it goes to the right place.

FIVE: BAKE SALE IS DECEMBER 20
Join us for our annual Sisterhood Bake Sale on December 20!

Contact our Head Sister, Ksenia Nikulshina to volunteer (headsister@stvladimiraami.org). And by the way, men are welcome to volunteer to help too! We have a few new things we are doing this year (offering some hot food at the sale), which means we need MORE people to help. Be part of the winning team – volunteer today!

BONUS: WEEKLY YOUTH ACTIVITY EVERY WEDNESDAY!
Every Wednesday @ STV 6-9 p.m. Begins with the Akathist to the Mother of God for the ill, then Catechism in the church for those preparing for baptism (and anyone else that would like to join).
