May Their Memory Be Eternal

Coffee hour offered today by the family of Socrates Sakelaris.

The Sunday School will be hosting Summer Coffee Hour starting June 29. We are looking for families or individuals who would like to volunteer and/or sponsor ($100) a Sunday throughout the Summer.  Funds raised will go to Sunday School programming throughout the year.

If you are interested in volunteering and/or sponsoring a Sunday in the Summer please email [email protected].  

As you may know, Metropolis of Detroit Summer Camp (MDSC) has been attempting to secure additional Counselors this summer to ensure we meet state licensing ratios and have enough staff to oversee our campers.    We have exhausted just about every option to recruit staff needed to safely operate Week 2, but we do not currently have enough counselor staff.

We need 3 female and 2 male counselors (young adults 18 & over and/or parents) who can commit to the full week by Sunday, June 22nd at 12:00 pm.  If we cannot fill these positions, the MDSC Board of Trustees will need to cancel Week 2.  We know our campers and staff have been looking forward to attending Week 2 this summer, and don’t want anyone to miss out on a memorable experience at MDSC. However, we need to ensure the safety of our campers first and that requires ample staff and staff to share the responsibilities (dish duties, cabin duties, Kaper duties, etc) over the week.

If you know any interested young adult and adult staff, or parent, please encourage them to immediately apply through gomdsc.org or contact the camp at [email protected]. 

We will provide another update by Monday June 23rd regarding Week 2.  Thank you for your love and support of MDSC.

Feed the Poor at Sts. Peter and Paul in Detroit – It is time again to volunteer your time or to make a donation to this excellent cause.  Our church family (kids and adults) has been helping feed the poor under the leadership of Alex Shashko for many years.  We will be preparing lunches in the Cathedral kitchen on Saturday, July 26^th and Saturday August 30^th.  It would be great to have at least 10 volunteers for each date.  We will also need 2 people to deliver the food on Sunday, July 27^th and Sunday August 31^st.  Please email Will Lianos at [email protected] if you are able to help us.  Donations can be made directly to the Annunciation Cathedral.  Please write “Feed the Poor” on your check or electronic donation.  Thank you.

We are planning a group trip to the Holy Trinity Monastery in Smiths Creek, Michigan on Saturday, August 2^nd.  This is a tremendous opportunity to visit a very peaceful and holy place.  Many years ago, a group from our church took a bus trip to the Monastery and had a fabulous visit.  We are attempting to plan another similar religious opportunity for our friends and family at the Cathedral.  If you would like to join Father George and our group, please submit your name to Olga in the church office to be added to the sign-up list. More details will follow as we assess the size of our group and the transportation options available.

Detroit Tigers Baseball on Sunday, August 24^th.  We are happy to announce our plans to attend the Tigers’ game after church this day.  The plan is to get a block of tickets at Comerica Park so we can all sit together and enjoy the game.  Bring your family!  Everyone is welcome.  Each person will be responsible for the cost of their own ticket.  Please submit your name to Olga in the church office if you would like to be added to the sign-up list.  Go Tigers!

Today's message is: 

Don’t be scared of your dishwasher. When run economically, dishwashers can be surprisingly green, since they use less energy and heat than hand washing. Follow these tips to make sure you are being as eco-friendly with each run. A full dishwasher uses up to 4x less water than washing by hand!

a.     Only run when full

b.     Clean your filter regularly to ensure effectiveness

c.     Run at night when electricity is typically cheaper.

Our parking lot management company, Park Rite, has installed gates at the three entrances to our parking lot (Monroe Street, I-375 service drive, and Lafayette Street). The gates will be open for Sunday services. For any church visits during the week, please use the Monroe Street entrance. When the parking lot attendant comes to the gate, please let him know you are there for a church visit, and he will raise the gate for you. You will NOT be charged any fee for parking in the lot for any church related visit. Also, the Lafayette gate will be open for any church sacrament event (weddings, funerals, etc.). Please note in the unlikely scenario that you pay for parking during a personal church visit, please advise the church office and your credit card charge will be reversed.

All articles to be included in the Sunday Bulletin must be submitted by 12pm on Thursdays.
