On Sunday February 1, 2009, the children of our beloved parish participated in the Divine Liturgy by fulfilling the responsibilities that are usually handled by the adults.  Responsibilities such as: lighting the candles, reading the Epistle, holding the communion cloth, assisting with the collection baskets, pouring the wine for after communion, as well as listening attentively to the sermon gave the children the opportunity to not only be in church but more so to be apart of church. As this will be a tradition here at St. Vladimir's on the first Sunday of every month, please enjoy the pictures to get a taste of how the children bring beauty to the Divine Liturgy.

On Sunday February 1, 2009, Fr. Jason, with the help of the church school children, blessed the Church School Classrooms as well as Daria Hall. It was such a joy to see the children participate in this great celebration.  We chose February 1 as this was Youth Sunday.  The first Sunday of every month is dedicated to the youth of our parish. So, as you can see, the children enjoyed leading Father around as he blessed their classrooms and Daria Hall.  We hope you enjoy the pictures of this wonderful event within the life of our parish.
