Many Years to Vladimir, Alexandra and Marina (Raybins all), for the recent commemorations of their Saints.
St. Joseph’s Young Adults will meet next at the Rectory on Friday, August 5th at 7 PM. Any college age through early 30’s people in your acquaintance please let them know about this opportunity for Orthodox fellowship and mutual spiritual encouragement.
St. Seraphim’s Youth Camp starts tomorrow. Let us keep in our prayers all those who will be in attendance that God protect and keep them in their travels and return them safely to us.
Traveling also is our parishioner Justin Loss, who will be in Columbia, that’s South America, for a few weeks – Keep Augustine in your prayers as he goes on a trip to China(!) – pray for their safe return.
Service and Stewardship – Meal Signups – Add your name to the list to offer a meal in the upcoming weeks – Church Cleaning – Be part of a team that cleans the church on Friday’s; or be a supporting donor by contributing $40 for a Friday cleaning – Nick’s Place – Contribute non-perishable goods for the local halfway house for young men recovering from substance abuse.
So much is given – On his way to the airport Monday a week ago, the steward of the wonder—working icon, Reader Nectary, repeated his prediction that our parish was on the threshold of great things and that we would get what we needed. The next day, the For Sale sign went up for this unit. In the next days after that, we have met twice with a very talented builder with quite a resume who is interested and excited about our new property and wants to help us to move as soon as possible. It is incumbent upon us all to fall to praying as much and as fervently as we can for God’s will to be carried out in this matter, as well as, of course, that the same be done for each and all in our parish family.
We welcome visitors and new members of our community – Please sign our guest book by the church-shaped donation box

From 'St John of Shanghai and San Francisco, Zealous Builder of Churches'
Everywhere he went he either oversaw the building of churches or supported the same with his attention and prayers... He wrote about the godly work of building churches:
"In building churches here on earth, we create for ourselves eternal habitations in heaven."
