THIS WEEK’S PARISH BULLETINS ENGLISH + ÐÓÑÑÊÈÉ

SCHEDULE OF DIVINE SERVICES AT STV

ONE: NEW CHURCH BUILDING: SPECIFIC ACTION FOR ALL
Many have asked: “exactly what are we to do now – now that we have decided to build?”. The first thing must be, as always, to pray! If the Lord is for us then no one can be against us. But we need to pray AND work. And how we will practically (and very spiritually) get to success can be found at this BLOGTUSHKA POST.

TWO: DAY OF LEGISLATIVE ACTION IN SUPPORT OF MET. ONUPHRY AND THE UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH IS DECEMBER 16
A day of Legislative Action in support of Metropolitan Onuphry and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church will be held on December 16 in Washington DC on Capital Hill. All are welcome to join in and support this important effort! If Orthodox Christians can be persecuted without repercussions in Ukraine then this can happen in America too. ROCOR was always outspoken out in support of persecuted Orthodox Christians during the Soviet times, and the exact same thing is happening today in Ukraine. Thus, it is our responsibility to speak out again!

MORE INFORMATION/SIGN UP

For those who will not be able to travel to WADC there will likely be opportunities to support from afar. More on that to come. WE ARE THINKING ABOUT RENTING A BUS – IF WE GET ENOUGH INTEREST. PLEASE CONTACT FR. GREGORY IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE THIS OPTION.


Our friend and parishioner who moved to Canada, Sergei Kandikov, has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Of course this is not good, but we must pray for God's mercy. Please remember Sergei regularly in your prayers. Every day if you can!

THREE: A2OCA CATECHISM FOR YOUNG ONES IS EVERY WEDNESDAY
Divine Liturgy begins at 9:00 a.m. Catechism follows Liturgy for 2-4 year olds, 5 year olds, and 6-8 year olds. There is no charge, but we ask that you RESERVE YOUR PLACE IN ADVANCE.

FOUR: WEEKLY YOUNG ADULT ACTIVITY THIS AND EVERY WEDNESDAY!
Every Wednesday @ STV 6-9 p.m. Begins with the Akathist to the Mother of God for the ill, then Catechism in the church for those preparing for baptism (and anyone else that would like to join). For those not joining catechism we’ll have a Study Table where you can work on your homework/school projects in the academy. Ideally more advanced students will help those less advanced if help is needed. 9 p.m. sharp – Something Fun (bon fire, etc.). Ages 15+. PUT IT IN YOUR SCHEDULE RIGHT NOW! :) See you EVERY Wednesday!

FIVE: MANY LITURGIES THIS WEEK!
This week we’ll have four liturgical cycles at STV:
Tuesday 6:00 p.m./Wednesday 9:00 a.m. - Venerable Varlaam of Khutyn/A2OCA Liturgy
Thursday 6:00 p.m./Friday 8:00 a.m. - St. Michael and All Angels
Friday 6:00 p.m./Saturday 8:00 a.m. - St. Nectarios of Pentapolis
Saturday 6:00 p.m./Sunday 10:00 a.m. - Sunday 24 after Pentecost

BONUS: THANKSGIVING DIVINE LITURGY!
Eucharist literally means “thanksgiving”. So what better way to mark the most Orthodox of our American Civil Holidays than to serve Liturgy? That is a rhetorical question – there is no better way! Join us on Thursday, November 27 at 8:00 a.m. to start your Thanksgiving day right (there is also no better way to start ANY day than with the Divine Liturgy). Spread the word! Invite others!
