Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death,
and onto those in the tombs bestowing life.
DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS
By the grace of God, we are beginning the building of our new church for His glory and in honor of St. Sava, the first Archbishop of Serbia. This undertaking is of great importance and should serve as a means to unify and strengthen our parish as a community of God’s people. We should always remember that as we build our Church, the Church is also building us to become God’s people who will serve as an example to our children. Anybody interested to give donation for our new church please contact Father Dejan Tiosavljevic on e-mail Frdt1@sbcglobal.net

EASTER OFFERING
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
With God's blessing, we are approaching the holiest feast of our Holy Orthodox Church, the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. In order to prepare ourselves better for the coming of Easter, we are expected to prepare ourselves by fasting and prayers, Holy Confession and by receiving Holy Communion so that we may worthily enter the day of Resurrection.
In addition to that, we are also expected to make special efforts during Great Lent in helping those who are in need. As we very well know, the Church depends on our Stewardship, generous donations and labor of love. By helping our Church, we help ourselves and our children, for they will be given the opportunity to learn about their Holy Orthodox Faith and their heritage in our Serbian Orthodox Church.
It is also customary among our Serbian Orthodox people that the flowers and candles used to decorate Christ's tomb on Great and Holy Friday are donated by parishioners in memory of their departed family members and friends. Also, if you would like to help decorate Christ's tomb, please call 281-256-1335. Thank you!
You may send your Easter offering and donation for flowers and candles to our St. Sava Church by mail, or you may give it personally during the Great and Holy Week.
May God bless you all and grant you hundredfold in His riches.
ROASTED LAMB OR PIG
If you wish to order roasted lamb or pig for Easter, please call 281-256-1335. The price for roasting is $50.00 plus the cost of meat. Also, you can choose to buy roasted pig portions at $8.00 per lb or lamb portions at $10.00 per lb. Please call us by April 25th with your orders at 281-256-1335.
WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE YOU THIS EASTER
HAPPY EASTER!
