ONE: ALL THE FLYERS
You can find ALL THE FLYERS that are posted at church AT THIS LINK.

TWO: GETTING READY FOR OUR SECOND PASCHA!
This week we will prepare in earnest for our Second Pascha – the feast of St. Vladimir! Please be attentive to email from our Head Brother and Head Sister asking for volunteers. We want our parish, including our large property, to SHINE when Metropolitan Jonah and our many guests join us on Saturday, July 27 and Sunday, July 28. PLEASE NOTE! Services for the feast are one hour earlier than usual! Saturday vigil begins at 5:00 p.m. Sunday Liturgy begins at 9:00 a.m. JOIN US! INVITE FRIENDS!

THREE: YOUNG FAMILY GROUP MEETS THURSDAY!
The next Young Family Group dinner is set for Thursday, July 25. All are welcome! Parenting towards the Kingdom as a parish family - join us! SIGN UP HERE

FOUR: NEXT PARISH WORK DAY IS AUGUST 10
The next all-parish work day is set for August 10! FLYER HERE TO SHARE. And to be honest we are asking you to be very attentive to calls for festival work day requests. We know you have to cut your own grass and that you have lots of other chores and we are sensitive to that. Please do as your personal schedule allows, but don’t be afraid to push yourself a bit and ask the Lord’s help. It is AMAZING what you can accomplish if you ask the Lord’s blessing on your labor!

FIVE: UPCOMING BOOK CLUBS
Our Teen Youth Group will read “Alexander Schmorell: Saint of the German Resistance” this fall, and perhaps into the winter. Fr. Colin will lead this group. See Svetlana Mitchell in the kiosk to order your book. And Fr. Gregory will lead a reading group beginning September 4 utilizing “Crucifixion of the King of Glory”. We need to start that early to read one chapter we week if we hope to finish before Holy Week 2025. Also, the author will be giving a presentation in Metro Detroit during this time. More to come on that. Again – see Svetlana Mitchell to order your book. LEARN MORE AND SIGN UP HERE!

BONUS:
We covered the first half of Fr. Gregory’s trip to Serbia on Sunday, July 21, 2024 during the weekly parish meal. The slides moved slowly for various reasons – we will do better next time! The second half of the Serbia trip will be covered on Sunday, August 25. The Germany trip will be discussed a bit later (likely in early September). More on that soon...
