Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

            PLEASE TAKE NOTICE… WE WILL NOT BE HAVING SERVICES NEXT WEEKEND AT ST HERMAN’S. This will be the weekend of our parish camping trip up at Russian River, so services will be canceled at St Herman’s on Sept 5^th and 6^th. I encourage those that are not joining us up in Russian River to attend services at one of our local sister parishes. I especially encourage you to support Fr Andrew whose serving at the Protection of the Mother of God parish in Palo Alto (3475 Ross Rd.). Vigil is at 5pm and Liturgy is at 9am.

            That said, there WILL be a Panakhida served at St Herman’s on Saturday the 5^th at 11:30am. Bishop James will be joining Fr Andrew in this one year memorial anniversary of our dear Fr George. All are invited to attend and to pray for Fr George. May his memory be eternal!

            Today at 6pm we will have our monthly Young Adults Meeting. We will congregate in the church at 6pm to serve the Akathist to the Mother of God and then we’ll head to the church hall for pizza and fellowship. I hope you can join us!

            Our weekly Bible Study is this Wednesday evening at 7pm. Last week we began our study of the Epistle to the Ephesians using Blessed Theophylact’s commentaries. All are invited to attend. The Zoom link is: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89738164102. 

Fr Andrew’s Catechism class will be held on Thursday at 6pm. The Zoom link is: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81421729353. All are welcome to attend.

Due to the camping trip, there will not be a class on Saturday at 2pm.

I wish all of you a blessed week and we’ll see you back at St Herman’s the following weekend. God bless you!

Fr Martin
