SCHEDULE OF DIVINE SERVICES AT STV
ONE: NEW CHURCH BUILDING THANK YOU!
Thank you to everyone who participated in our extraordinary parish meeting yesterday. 90% of those participating voted to move forward so onward we go! And now the real work begins. We’ve posted something in this regard on our HOME PAGE and also on our FACEBOOK PAGE. Please have a look at those, and please pray. With God’s help all is possible. Without it – not so much. Our track record is strong WHEN WE HAVE PRAYED FOR THE LORD’S HELP. Let’s do that again for this next big step in the life our parish!
TWO: SPECIAL LITURGY THIS WEDNESDAY
With Archbishop Gabriel’s blessing we will serve the Divine Liturgy of St. James, Brother of the Lord on Wednesday, November 5, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. All are welcome to participate in this unique and ancient Orthodox liturgical expression. The rule for Holy Communion will be as usual. JOIN US!

Ideally more advanced students will help those less advanced if help is needed. 9 p.m. sharp – Something Fun (bon fire, etc.). Ages 15+. PUT IT IN YOUR SCHEDULE RIGHT NOW! :) See you EVERY Wednesday!
FIVE: 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.

IMPORTANT: HELP OUR SCHOOL – FIRST GRADE TEACHER SOUGHT
Our ANN ARBOR ORTHODOX CLASSICAL ACADEMY has an opening for a First Grade Teacher. The deadline for applications is November 14, 2025. PLEASE FIND THE JOB POSTING HERE. Spread the word to those whom you know, or even suspect, might be interested to join our school family!
BONUS: DAY OF LEGISLATIVE ACTION IN SUPPORT OF MET. ONUPHRY AND THE UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH
A day of Legislative Action in support of Metropolitan Onuphry and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church will be held on November 18 in Washington DC on Capital Hill. All are welcome to join in and support this important effort! If Orthodox Christians can be persecuted without repercussions in Ukraine then this can happen in America too. ROCOR was always outspoken out in support of persecuted Orthodox Christians during the Soviet times, and the exact same thing is happening today in Ukraine. Thus, it is our responsibility to speak out again!
MORE INFORMATION/SIGN UP
For those who will not be able to travel to WADC there will likely be opportunities to support from afar. More on that to come. Also, PLEASE NOTE: if the government is still closed on November 18 the date for this event will be moved to December 16. Thus, if you purchase plane tickets to travel, please make sure these are refundable.
