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: 

Love your lids! Super simple, just put your lids on your pans. This will save energy & time when cooking, and especially with a gas stove, you want to protect yourself and your air from as much of those fumes as possible. Use 30% less energy by cooking your dinner with a lid on.

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.
