SCHEDULE OF DIVINE SERVICES AT STV

MAKE A PRAYER REQUEST
ONE: EMAILS FOR NEXT FEW WEEKS
With Fr. Gregory on vacation, Fr. Colin will send the Monday and Friday emails to our email list. But they will not appear here. So NOW is the time to join our mailing list if you have not done so. This way you’ll be up to date on what is happening at STV in these next few weeks – and going forward!

TWO: BISHOP SPYRIDON TO VISIT STV + GROUND BREAKING!
We are also pleased to announce that our new ruling hierarch, Bishop Spyridon, will lead the Divine Liturgy on August 30 at STV. Here is the PROMOTIONAL FLYER to share. Learn more about BISHOP SPYRIDON.
Please make note of these services, get them on your calendar, invite friends and loved ones, and join us!

THREE: NEW BUILDING PROJECT UPDATE
BIG BIG NEWS FROM PARISH PARISH COUNCIL ON FUND RAISING – GOOD NEWS + GOOD PARISH CHALLENGE!

FOUR: “I DIDN’T KNOW THAT WAS HAPPENING” – MEMBER RESPONSIBILITIES AT STV
We are really surprised at how often we hear things like “I didn’t know that was happening” at STV. Especially when we publish important things in our emails, bulletins, on our web site, Facebook, Telegram, and X. Plus we post flyers at church about major activities. “Where your treasure is there will your heart be also.” (Matthew 6:21) If we want our heart to be in God’s Church we have to invest our treasure in God’s Church, in this case the treasure of our time. As we see it, at this point you have to do your best NOT to know what is happening at STV. We understand – not everyone is totally locked in to our parish life. But to be totally unengaged is not healthy spiritually. So, as somewhat absurd as it is to instruct you to read this email in this email, we are doing this. :) Or check out our FB, X, Telegram, web site, or the flyers at church. Don’t miss important things upcoming at STV! We value you as a member of our parish family – but we need you to lock in – at least a little bit more than you presently are.

FIVE: LITURGY EVERY SATURDAY JUNE, JULY, AUGUST
Beginning June 6 we will have liturgy every Saturday of June, July, August. This is a great opportunity to invite friends or loved ones who are interested in Orthodoxy, but who are still involved in another church. Invite them, then join them in person at STV!

BONUS: PRAYERS FOR EVERY DAY
We ask a lot of our parish family at STV, and one of those things we challenge you to do is to say several prayers every day. However, although this is a challenge, it is a good one. And some folks report that this responsibility keeps them praying every day. Officially, we ask you to say both these prayers every day:
PRAYER OF ST. GABRIEL OF GEORGIA FOR OUR NEW CHURCH PROJECT
PRAYER TO ST. MARDARIJE OF ANN ARBOR FOR THE SUCCESS OF OUR SCHOOL
But – this is a really good one that we probably all should add. We are growing! Thank God! But with many more people there are many more personalities. And if we are going to stay strong as a family as we grow we need God's help! This prayer is a great way to entreat the Lord to keep our parish family strong:
PRAYER AGAINST DISCORD IN THE CHURCH
