**************************************

ХРИСТОС НАРОДИВСЯ! СЛАВІТЕ ЙОГО! CHRIST IS BORN! GLORIFY HIM!

BLESSING OF HOUSES FOR THEOPHANY: Fr. Andrii will begin blessing houses on Thursday, January 8 (weather permitting). He will start in New Britain and then continue in other cities and towns. Visits can be made in the morning, afternoon, or evening. If you have a preference, please get in touch with Fr. Andrii at (860) 989-5748. Otherwise, father will contact you to set up a day and time. 

ОСВЯЧЕННЯ ХАТІВ НА БОГОЯВЛЕННЯ: О. Андрій почне освячувати хати у четвер, 8 січня. Він почне в Новій Британії, а потім продовжить в інших містах. Візити можуть здійснюватися в першій половині дня, вдень або ввечері. Якщо у вас є певне побажання щодо дня і часу, будь ласка, потелефонуйте о. Андрію за номером (860) 989-5748. В іншому випадку він потелефонує вам, щоб призначити день і час. Якщо ви поміняли адресу у 2024 році, негайно повідомте отця! 

A SNOWBLOWER is needed for our church. If you have one in good working condition and can donate, we will greatly appreciate it. Please let Dr. Paul Szwez or Fr. Andrii know. Thank you! 

DUES ENVELOPES for 2026 are available in the church entrance today. Please pick up your box so that we don’t have to spend money on mailing. КОНВЕРТИ для парафіяльних внесків на 2026 рік знаходяться при вході до церкви. Будь-ласка, візьміть їх, щоб нам не витрачати гроші на пересилку.

MAY GOD bless all of those who continue to donate for our heroes in Ukraine. Lately, we have collected $587 in the box in church. 

COFFEE and…: Thank you to Olena Balatsko for hosting coffee and… on Sunday, December 21. 

2026 EVENT CALENDAR: Any individual or church group with events scheduled during 2026 should inform President Dr. Paul Szwez or Natalia Kyrychenko as soon as possible to avoid confusion. 

PLEASE CONSIDER that the $624 yearly dues include the per-member amount we send to support our Metropolia, which is $150 now. As a result, we have to take $150 from the $624, leaving us with only $474 per member to pay for church expenses for the entire year. We would appreciate your including this amount toward Metropolia dues as an additional contribution to your regular contributions. $774 would be the amount for both the parish and the Diocese. 

HOLY BAPTISM: Child of God Evelina Sophia Soroka was baptized and chrismated in our Church on Saturday, Decemebr 20. He is the child of Iryna and Andrii Soroka. May God grant His Servant the Child, Evelina Sophia, her parents, godparents, and her entire family, Many Happy and Blessed Years! МНОГІЇ І БЛАГІЇ ЛІТА! 

ВЕЛИКА ПОДЯКА Оленці Чорна за особливе Різдвяне декорування нашої церкви, і Олені і Петру Зеленюку і двом анонімним жертводавцям за спонсорування цього проекту. Многії і благії літа їм усім!

MANY THANKS go to Peter and Helen Zeleniuk for snow removal during last snowstorm! 

OUR PARISHIONER, Olena Balatsko, and her family are asking for our support as her apartment in Ukraine was recently destroyed. There is a “go fund” page where you can do that: https://gofund.me/7d995198b

НАША ПАРАФІЯНКА, Олена Балацко, і її родина просять підтримки, оскільки їx квартира в Україні була нещодавно зруйнована. Є «go fund» сторінка, де ви можете це зробити: https://gofund.me/7d995198b

ANGELS CLUB: Congratulations to the winners of the December drawing. They are: Michael Dran, $25.00; Simion Socalos, $15.00 and Paul Szwez, $10.00. 

CHURCH SCHOOL AND YOUTH MINISTRY

Church School classes will be held today.

NEXT Sunday, January 12 – Caroling by the Youth Ministry: Students, teens and young adults are encouraged to participate. All should meet in the church hall at noon after Church School classes are dismissed. Lunch will be provided at some point. The group would be happy to visit the homes of any parish family, not just shut-ins. Please let Father Andrii know if you would like a visit from the carolers.

Happy birthday to Natalie who will be celebrating her birthday in the coming week.

Our warmest thanks to Youth Ministry benefactors Maria and Walter Szwez for their gift of $200. May God grant Maria, Walter and Natalie MANY BLESSED YEARS! MNOHAYA LITA!
