THIS WEEK’S PARISH BULLETINS ENGLISH + ÐÓÑÑÊÈÉ
SCHEDULE OF DIVINE SERVICES AT STV
ONE: WE NEED A LEADER – RIDE TO CHURCH MINISTRY
We need someone to lead our ride to church ministry! Good news: we already have a backup to help, but we need someone to lead and be the main point of contact. Please contact Fr. Gregory if you can help!
WE HAVE BEEN ADVERTISING THIS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS – IT IS TIME FOR SOMEONE TO STEP UP! We must rely on the younger generation to begin to take over some of the ministries, such as this one, at STV. The old folks will eventually go to their rest, and then what? Those 40 and under should not be left staring at each other and wondering what to do when they bury the last Gen X parishioner. WE WANT TO SEE THE PARISH LAST BEYOND THIS GENERATION – but that means we need the younger faithful to start to take responsibility. This is a good place to start – let’s get this taken care of so we can at least bring people to church! And now this is a quest! :) This announcements will be in every Monday and Friday email until it is filled – even if it takes all year!
TWO: PROFESSOR OSIPOV VIDEOS
Professor Alexei Osipov is a well-known theological/philosophical author and professor in Russia. His web site recently published many of his talks with English subtitles. Please have a look - you are sure to learn many things from these videos that will aid in your salvation. OSIPOV VIDEOS IN ENGLISH.
THREE: FESTIVAL REPORT OUT MEETING IS OCTOBER 20
Please join us during the parish meal on Sunday, October 20 for our annual Festival Report Out. How much did we bring in? How much did we spend? How much was our profit? All this and more at the Report our Meeting. Please plan to join us! And please join the Festival Committee! This is a GREAT way to get involved in leadership in our parish – and we need the younger generations’ ideas and zeal to make our festival even better next year!
