Visitors are welcome to join us for coffee hour in the Parish Hall following the service and to visit our Bookstore. Also, please sign our guest book in the Narthex. Although the Orthodox Church does not practice inter-communion, visitors may come to the altar rail to receive the Priest's blessing and the Blessed Bread. Welcome!

Thanks: Father Theodore was called away to Colorado this weekend. He will be celebrating the Mass at the Retreat Center of the Benedictine Fellowship of St. Lawrence. Thanks to Deacon Nicholas for once again conducting the service today. Father Theodore will return Monday afternoon.

Speaker: You can still catch Father Maximus Urbanowicz, an Orthodox evangelist, who is in town this weekend. He is giving talks at several Orthodox churches in the area. He is the head of an organization called "Gospel to All Nations." For more information on these talks, as well as times and locations, please see the flyer in the parish hall.

Parish Fundraiser: The rummage sale is this week, November 12, 13, 14, and 15. Donations for the rummage sale can be placed on the stage in the parish hall. Please do not bring large items until a day or two before the sale. We also need people to come and help with this project. Please plan to come and work for your Church! If you can help, please see Jewel Brown.

Acolytes?  We are always looking for new acolytes to serve at the altar. If any of the men of our parish are interested (young or not-so-young), please let Father Theodore know. We will train you!

Coffee Hour: Thank you to the Mayo family, who brought food for the potluck today. If you are interested in providing for a future coffee hour, there is a signup sheet in the parish hall. There are dates available until the end of the year. Please see if you can take one!

Pledge Reminder: As we come nearer to the end of the year, please try to make sure you fulfilled your pledge to St. Vincent's for 2009. Father Theodore can let you know how much you have given for this year. Please also start to consider what you can pledge for 2010. We will be distributing 2010 pledge cards in a few weeks.

Inquirers' Classes: The next Inquirers' Class is TBA. We continue to use Bishop Hilarion's book, The Mystery of the Faith. Everyone is welcome to join us.
