THIS WEEK’S PARISH BULLETINS ENGLISH + РУССКИЙ

SCHEDULE OF DIVINE SERVICES AT STV

ONE: GIVING TUESDAY – HELP OUR TEACHERS!
We made a commitment to accept EVERY CHILD from EVERY FAMILY that wanted to join our Academy Family – NO MATTER their family financial situation. This means: our tuition income does not cover our teacher salaries. Because not every family can afford to pay the full annual tuition. We are asking you to help!

Please consider establishing a RECURRING GIFT TODAY in support of our Academy! Your gift makes it possible for us to fulfill our Mission for ALL CHILDREN: The Mission of Ann Arbor Orthodox Classical Academy is to provide a classical education in an Orthodox Christian environment, allowing our students to grow to their full human and spiritual potential, with the ability to engage society as mature followers of Jesus Christ.

TWO: BAKE SALE IS DECEMBER 14!
Spread the word! The St. Vladimir’s Christmas Bake Sale is coming SOON!

Reach out to our Head Sister, Leta Nikulshina, and ask her what she needs you to bake! This can be a great fund raiser and a great outreach to our local community if we all pitch in and make it just that. So let’s do that! Please contact Leta today and ask how you can help.

MOST IMPORTANTLY: tell everyone you know to come join us! A flyer can be found at this link:

Please note that the yearly Lenten period in preparation for our Lord’s Nativity begins on November 28. From this day until January 7 we do not partake of meat or dairy products. On many days during this lent fish is allowed. Please consult the parish schedule of services for details in this regard. Have questions about fasting? Never tried to follow the fast before? Please talk to Fr. Gregory or Fr. Colin for answers! “We abstain from meats that we might abstain from the passions...” writes St. John Chrysostom.
