SHARE A MEAL WITH US AFTER LITURGY THIS SUNDAY
ONE: NEW BUILDING PROJECT MONDAY UPDATE
Thank God, as communicated by email last Monday, we received final site plan approval from the Lima Township Planning Commission! Yesterday, Bishop Spyridon blessed the land for the new project and officially broke ground. This week we will receive the construction documents we need from our architect to solicit bids on the project. The Request for Proposal that we will send out mandates a deadline of December 1, 2026 for the foundation work and a deadline of June 1, 2027 for the shell of the building. We’ll keep you updated on that bid process as we move forward, but very soon (but sort of conveniently after the festival, although we did not plan it that way) construction will begin!

TWO: BISHOP SPYRIDON VISIT THANK YOU!
What an AMAZING day we had yesterday at St. Vladimir’s! Not only did we have the first visit of our new ruling hierarch, Bishop Spyridon, but His Grace also ordained a deacon for service at the Holy Mother of God parish in Georgetown, Texas, and broke ground for the new building project. That is a BIG WEEKEND! Thank you to EVERYONE who made this weekend possible! There are too many names to mention – some would be left out. You know who you are, and more importantly, the Lord knows who you are. It was especially inspiring to see so many people stay afterwards and clean after the bishop and his retinue departed. Let’s keep up that spirit of mutual support even without the bishop present!

THREE: A2OCA LOTS HAPPENING! YOU CAN HELP!
We have a BIG push at A2OCA to advertise our preschool offerings for the coming year. YOU CAN HELP! How? By engaging with our social media posts in this regard. Like them. Leave a positive comment. Share them. This helps us a TON. This is called organic engagement and it is the BEST way to spread the word. Plus: tell everyone you know to register their preschool aged child at A2OCA!

FOUR: DISTRIBUTE FESTIVAL YARD SIGNS!
Please grab a packet of yard signs and put them out in your area this Sunday! We’re building a new church! We need to fill it with new faithful! The festival is a GREAT way to introduce new people to our faith. DO YOUR PART! Put out some yard signs beginning this week!

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!
