At the Parish Council meeting on March 11, 2017 a Stewardship Education Team was appointed by the Parish Council consisting of Fr. Gregory, Jack (Alexey) Mitchell as Starosta (now Brendan Hayden), and Leta (Ksenia) Nikulshina. The charge of this team is to provide our parish family with educational information about stewardship. In this regard, we intend to send out an email and post on our parish web site a quarterly communication in preparation for a quarterly parish finance report out.

Please find the quarterly communication at the link below. Please feel free to contact any of us, or any of the Parish Council members, with questions at any time. Or, if you prefer, use the second link below to ask a question or make a comment anonymously.

WE HAD A MEETING ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2026 DURING THE PARISH MEAL TO DISCUSS THIS COMMUNICATION

We thank you sincerely for your generous support of our parish! And we look forward to hearing from you at your convenience regarding this information.

We didn’t include a letter with this communication – just the data. So we provide this small narrative here to help decode a bit of the reality of the data:

ONE – In order to cover a $1.5MM loan we need about $13,000 per month.
TWO – Our Treasurer notes that we have about $10,000 per month to dedicate to this payment.
THREE – in order to garner $3,000 per month we would need ten of our giving units (family or single home) to give $30 more per month, or about $1/day. Or we need ten NEW giving units (people who have not established a recurring donation) to give $1/day. Please think about how YOU could help.

We present here a short educational offering for both children and adults on the upcoming Sunday's principle Gospel reading so that all can better prepare for the Divine Services. Parents are asked to review the children’s portion with their children. It is very important for us to attend the Divine Services on Sundays and whenever else we are able, but in addition it is our spiritual responsibility to educate ourselves and our families in the faith. It is our hope that this mid-week offering will be an aid in this regard. Please contact Fr. Gregory with questions or suggestions.

FIVE LINES FOR EVERY ST. VLADIMIRIAN TO READ FOR THIS WEEK!

We ask all to be attentive to the system we have devised to help folks know when they can and when they cannot move about during the Divine Services to light candles, etc. Even as we ask all to be attentive we also ask all to be loving, and if someone clearly is not aware that we have reached a time in the Divine Service when we should be still that we share that information with them lovingly and in a way that will not cause embarrassment. Please contact Fr. Gregory with questions or concerns. The ideal time to venerate icons and light candles is before the Divine Liturgy if at all possible. If not possible - please attend to the lampadas above the Royal Doors!

"This is the cause of all evils: the ignorance of the Scriptures. We go into battle without arms, and how ought we to come off safe?" -St. John Chrysostom, Homily IX on Colossians.

In order to help increase the general knowledge of scripture in our parish family we present here for your edification the scripture readings for the coming week. At least one Gospel Reading and one Epistle reading are assigned for each day of the year (although during Great Lent the readings are from the Old Testament). Hearing or reading only those readings appointed for Sunday merely scratches the surface of the great spiritual wealth that the scriptures provide us. Some of the readings are easily understandable – others are less so. As Orthodox Christians we do not make private interpretation of scripture, but rather consult the fathers of the Church for their explanations to aid us in our understanding. Those wishing to have access to such explanations are asked to contact Fr. Gregory or inquire in the kiosk for further reading in this regard. Bibles may also be acquired in the kiosk.

Scripture Readings for this Week:

Monday: Philippians 2:12-16 & Luke 4:37-44
Tuesday: Philippians 2:16-23 & Luke 5:12-16
Wednesday: Philippians 2:24-30 & Luke 5:33-39
Thursday: Philippians 3:1-8 & Luke 6:12-19
Friday: Philippians 3:8-19 & Luke 6:17-23
Saturday: II Corinthians 1:8-11 & Luke 5:17-26

Confession and Communion are the two sacraments we most often partake of as Orthodox Christians and thus it behooves us to learn about these, how to prepare for these, and how to best take advantage of the Grace that our Lord freely gives us in these sacraments. At St. Vladimir’s we have created a special web site for this purpose with much information in this regard. Please find the web site listed below and please contact Fr. Gregory with questions!
