SHARE A MEAL WITH US AFTER LITURGY THIS SUNDAY
ONE: LIGHT LITURGICAL WEEK AT STV – HUGE PREPARATION WEEK FOR FESTIVAL – VOLUNTEER NOW!
We had liturgy this morning for the first day of the Ecclesiastical Calendar Year, but that is the only liturgy set for this week until Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. when Bishop Spyridon will lead us in prayer – the first hierarchal liturgy in the history of the Ann Arbor Russian Orthodox Festival. There is also Midnight Office at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday. Not many divine services – but LOTS TO DO! Every day from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. we will work to prepare for the festival. No one can be there every day all day, but everyone can be there for some days – even after work. Please sign up (click below) – this helps a lot! Otherwise all the work is done by few people and we will kill them, and that cannot possibly be shoehorned into an appropriate Christian way of life. Let’s not kill our friends – let’s work together for God’s glory!
SIGN UP FOR FESTIVAL DUTIES




TWO: DISTRIBUTE FESTIVAL YARD SIGNS!
Since EVERYONE is coming out to work in preparation for the festival, why not pick up some yard signs and get those out? PLEASE DO! This helps get the word out A LOT!

THREE: BISHOP SPYRIDON VISITS STV!



FOUR: NATALIA DALE FUNERAL THANK YOU + RESOURCES
Thank you to all who worked so hard to make the funeral for Natalia Vasilievna Dale so wonderful! It is always a little sad to usher someone into the next world, but since we are just visitors here and that next world is our homeland, we all will go this way. Doing this well is WAY BETTER than doing it poorly. So many worked so hard to make the vigil and funeral services beautiful – may the Lord reward you! It cost the parish about $2300 to have Mrs. Dale in the church over night from Friday into Saturday, and if you’d like to help offset that cost you can DO SO HERE. We conducted a relatively in-depth interview with Mrs. Dale from about 10 years ago. It was published about 10 years ago on our weekly podcast from that time, The Path. You can listen below – we hope you find it as interesting as we did when it was first published. There are some really cool pictures from the first parish in Ann Arbor too!

FIVE: STV FINANCIAL AMBASSADORS – BUILDING OUR NEW CHURCH
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 new building project financially strong and successful. That is, how to establish a tithe that works for you. Those conversations will remain anonymous and confidential. 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!
