BONUS: PARISH COUNCIL MEETS SUNDAY – BIG CONSTRUCTION COMMUNICATION SHORTLY AFTER THAT
Our parish council will meet this Sunday after the parish meal to discuss the new church construction, as well as a few major issues that need to be taken care of in our present building before the snow flies (we need a new roof, and we need to fix the drainage issues that have caused flooding a few times already this year). In next Monday’s email (or perhaps there will be a special email on Wednesday) we will send out a detailed communication regarding construction plans, timelines, fund raising, and everything you would ever want to know about the building of the new STV. Keep an eye out for that email and plan to spend some time reading it through, thinking it through, and praying about it. There will be challenges for everyone from our youngest to our oldest parishioners. Challenges are good. They keep us from getting ossified in our faith. They make us stretch spiritually. And we need this. Our plan, in short, will be to work really hard and trust God. But there will more details of course – after the parish council has had the chance to meet, talk, and approve the plan to be shared with our entire parish family.
We have LOTS of students! And students are busy. It is hard to meet other people. We have to study all the time. So why not get together and study once a week together? Great idea! Thank you to the young people who came up with it! Like to join us? Reach out here or to info@stvladimiraami.org. Make sure to let us know which night you’d prefer to have the study table. We’ll try to find a place that is geographically convenient for those interested.
