Vladika is coming! Vladika is coming!

Our beloved Archbishop Seraphim is coming to St. John's on Sunday, September 16th to grace (eminence?) our usual 9am Divine Liturgy and turn it into a full episcopal liturgy. This means that St. John's is now officially thrown into official "flurry-of-preparation mode", which includes the following:

1. Mission Board meeting 5pm on Thursday, September 6th. If all mission board members could be in attendance, that would be much appreciated!
2. Work Party III on Saturday, September 8th. Any and all who can come out an help anytime after 10am will be gratefully receieved and put to work!
3. There was a third thing that escapes my memory... Oh, right - I remember. Not anything to do with the bishop's visit, but something I neglected to announce in my "flurry-of-preparation" mode is Cary Chow's CD launch (Zirkus) concert coming up this Friday, September 7th, at 7:30pm. Details on his site at www.carychow.com - I don't know what it's going to be like, but if you remember the benefit concert for St. Arseny Camp at which he performed, it's sure to be worthwhile!
