FOUR: TIME TO GET THE SCHOOL READY FOR NEXT YEAR!
We need to install a fire suppression system for about $9000 and do some other state-mandated work for about $6000 in order to get the school ready to be a full-fledged educational building for next year. YOU CAN HELP! Make your donation below – if we all pitch in we can get this done and assure the strong future of our Ann Arbor Orthodox Classical Academy!

Please make note of these services, get them on your calendar, invite friends and loved ones, and join us!
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
BONUS: STV FINANCIAL AMBASSADORS – BUILDING OUR NEW CHURCH
At our parish meeting on Sunday, February 15, 2026 we made a very exciting decision! We voted to accept a revised design for our parish Church. The parish assembly empowered the parish council to build the church either to the south of the present parish church or to the north of our parking lots (on the festival field) – whichever is most financially advantageous for the parish. We are working hard to figure out that financial question now, and making good progress. But we need to pay for this revised design too. As we said at the meeting – we will pay for this in two ways: EVERYONE tithing, and NAMING OPPORTUNITIES. In the coming weeks 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 project financially strong and successful. That is, how to establish a tithe that works for you. Those conversations will remain anonymous and confidential. When we voted for the original design there was support, but the building fund did not grow in any appreciable way for several months. Thank God – this led us to the revised design! But 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!
