If anyone wishes to, go right ahead.
Otherwise I will, but I hate to say I am SO SLOW on EVERYTHING these days,
trying to rush to get outdoor construction finished. Hammers and nails -
not hammers and sickles ! - seem to be occupying most of my worries these months !

I apologize for any remissness on any question - so preoccupied am I, even through the holidays.

Let me know if you want me to maybe email him ; otherwise it might be nice if other
people ALSO chimed in to make him feel really appreciated - after all
remember that FANTASTIC essay he wrote against the MP takeover of Rocor.

It was one of the very top of many excellent ones from opponents of the 'union' -
notice that word, sounds like LABOR union, Communist, Socialist - you get the drift !]

Please do email him, Barbara. And I would love to read his essay concerning the MP takeover of the ROCOR.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Wouldn't that essay be here somewhere in the archives ?
I never have any success with the Search key or I would verify that.

If it wasn't posted here, then it must be easy to find.
I will check around ; otherwise I have a print copy somewhere.

It was written and expressed really well.

Fr Joseph is a computer programmer, by the way.

Haven't read that essay either. Also, I thought of phoning up Fr Joseph, but I don't know him so I didn't feel comfortable.

Thank you all for the welcome.

I joined so I could post the service times for the St. John of Shanghai parish in South San Francisco, but didn't get access until after my visit two weeks ago. Fr. Oleg Gritsenko will hold Nativity services there. Usual service times are Vigil Sat 5:30pm; Liturgy Sun 9:30am. On Sun Jan 6 (n.s.), Great Vespers will be held after Liturgy and Nativity Vigil will begin at 5:30pm. Liturgy will be on Nativity day at 9:30am.

Fr. Oleg will also serve Theophany services. I am at work right now, but will post the schedule of priestly services for the rest of 2013 later.

On Jan 27 (n.s.), Bp. Stefan will ordain my second deacon to the priesthood so the St. Joseph of Petersburg parish in Portland will have priestly services even when I travel.

In Christ,
Archpriest Joseph Sunderland

Oh that was the problem. Too bad a Priest wasn't given instant access.
<<<Maybe this could be remedied in the future>>>

Thank you so much, Father, for posting the January 2013 schedule. I was just wondering about that.

Congratulations on having the second Deacon ordained ! Marvelous.
