ANNOUNCEMENTS 1) TODAY, SUNDAY, APRIL 3rd, AT 6PM: COCC Inter-Orthodox Sunday Lenten Vespers for the 3rd Sunday of Great Lent, at Nativity of the Virgin Mary Greek Church, 39851 Five Mile, Plymouth, (southeast corner at Haggerty, just west of I-275). SPEAKER: Fr. Stratton Dorozenski 2) 4th PRESANCTIFIED LITURGY THIS WED., APRIL 6th, AT ST. INNOCENT AT 6:30 PM. The Presanctified Liturgy is one of the most beautiful of the special Services of Great Lent. This year all 6 Presanctified Liturgies will be held at St. Innocent. We have a casual pot-luck supper afterwards. Guests from other parishes join us. Do come — & make a special effort to come to as many of the Lenten Services as possible. 3) PASCHA FLOWERS & BOWS: Please donate for our Pascha flowers to decorate Christ’s tomb, and the church for Pascha. (You get to take them home after Pascha.) Also, Pascha Bows, like Christmas Bows, are our two annual fund-raisers, vital for paying our bills. Please donate at least 1 ‘Bow’ for the living and 1 for the departed, with a $5 donation for each. Use the cards Mary Ann has already decorated, or write the names of your loved ones and friends for whom you are praying on index-cards and your cards will be decorated and attached to our large cross until Ascension. Please help us to meet our goal of having at least 100 Pascha ‘Bows.” See Mary Ann Harvilla for both the flowers and Pascha Bows. 4) KITCHEN & COFFEE HOUR SUPPLIES: We’re pretty set now, but we always can use large cans of coffee & packs of bottled spring water. 5) LISTEN EVERY SUNDAY TO THE COCC’S DETROIT’S OWN ORTHODOX RADIO HOUR [DOOR] ON WNZK 690-AM, 4-5 pm, or on your computer/smart-phone, live, at http://www.doorradio.org.
