Ремонт/Renovation –Ремонт Церкви закінчений . Щиру подяку приносимо всім хто долучисвя до цього проєкту. Нехай Господь Бог благословить вас найщирішими ласками.

Є бажання поставити нові подушки у лавки. Ті старi були дуже брудні і вже розпадалися і ми їх викинули. Я вже цікавився і ціна включає: матеріал, шитя і посилку $8,500. Бажано б було щоб кожна родина подарувала $100 і кошти були б покриті. Після закінченя ремонту 2009 – 2011 будемо робити плакат де будуть записані імена жертводарців. Плакат буде поділений на три групи: спонсор $100 –250; жертводавець $255–1,000; фундатори більше як тисяча. Щиро дякую за вашу підтримку.

Renovation of the church is completed. We thank everyone who participated in this project. As you have noticed there are no cushions in the pews. They were dirty and falling apart and we disposed of them. I did make inquiries and I found one company that is willing to make them for us for $8,500. The price includes: 2 inches thick foam; cover material, sewing and shipping. This foam grade is firm high-density foam, called luxury foam. If every family would donate $100 we would cover the cost. After the completion of the Renovation Projects we will put up a plaque with names of people who participated in this project 2009 – 2011.The plaque will have three categories of donors: $100-250 sponsors; $255 – 1,000 contributors, and over $1,000 benefactors. Тhank you for your cooperation.

Успінський Піст – Спасівка. Християни перших віків до великих празників приготовлялися постом і молитвою. З цієї практики розвинулися коротші чи довші пости. На першому місці стоїть Великий Піст перед світлим празником Господньої Пасхи. Перед празником Христового Різдва ввійшов у звичай піст Пилипівки. З особливого культу піст Петрівки. А вкінці, прийшов наймолодший з чотирьох різних постів, піст Успінський. Ним ми приготовляємо себе до найбільшого празника Пресвятої Богородиці, Її святого Успіння. І в той спосіб наслідуємо пости й молитви Пречистої Діви Марії, що ними Вона готувалася на стрічу Своєму Божому Синові у Своєму Успінні. Цей піст триває від 1 до 15 серпня.

The Fast of the Dormition – Spasivka . Christians of the first centuries prepared themselves for great feasts with fasting and prayer. Gradually, shorter or longer fasts developed from this sacred practice. The Great Fast before the glorious feast of the Pasch (Easter) occupies first place among the fasts. Soon before the feast of the Nativity (Christmas) , the fast of St. Philip came into practice. From a special cult in honor of SS. Peter and Paul, there arose a fast called Petrivka or Peter’s Fast. And finally, came the most recent of the four yearly fasts, the Fast of Dormition. With this fast we prepare ourselves for the greatest of all Marian feasts – the holy Dormition of the Most Holy Mother of God. In this manner, we immitate the fastings and prayers of the Most Pure Virgin Mary by which she prepared herself for the encounter with her Divine Son in her holy Dormition. This fast starts on August 1 and ends on August 15.
