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!

Friends,

Unless you are going out to the festival barn/field for specific duties, we won't have a festival work day today (Monday). However, we will meet every other day this week after work. So - rest up tonight! And please join us beginning tomorrow night after work, and each evening thereafter this week (and next as we clean up the festival grounds).

If you prefer to work during the day please contact our Head Brother or Head Sister - we will try to make that work for you. It is likely there will be people out there during the days this week.

Thank you for supporting this important parish family effort!

Fr. Gregory

Avoid soul-corrupting gatherings and your soul will ever enjoy peace.

St. Ephraim the Syrian
A Spiritual Psalter, Psalm 43

"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.
