“РЕЦЕПТ ПРИГОТУВАННЯ ОСОБЛИВИХ НАМУШКІВ”
До двох хорошеньких жменьок думок, Додамо Щастя великий шматок. Дамо чашечку Терпіння, І дві ложечки Розуміння. Три ложки щирих привітань, І шклянку добрих побажань. Чемності теж не жаліти, І щедро Радістю полити. Трішки Привітності додати, І все разом перемішати. Тоді пекти в такій печі, Що називається Теплом Душі. Як пампушки будуть готові – Посипте Їх порошком ЛЮБОВІ!

to Archbishop Ilarion, Father Nicholas, their families and all active members and potential members
of St. Michael’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church during this festive season of the Nativity of Christ, the
New Year and Epiphany.
Our Annual Christmas Bazaar took place on
December 3, 2016. Many volunteers worked to
make the bazaar an outstanding success. We
appreciate all the help that was offered and are
grateful to the volunteers. All of the frozen and
fresh foods were sold out in record time.
On December 11, St. Michael’s UWAC had
their annual general meeting. The evening began
with a delicious meal of Chinese food, provided
by the Men’s Society. Thank you to them for
providing supper and dining with us. After that,
the two organizations had separate meetings to
discuss various issues and elect a new executive.

On the lighter side:
It was the Sunday after Christmas at Peter and Paul
Church. Fr. John was looking at the nativity scene
prior to packing away the figures when he noticed
that Baby Jesus was missing from the scene.
Immediately, Fr. John turned to the manse to call the
police. But as he was about to do so, he saw little
Harry with a red wagon, and in the wagon was the
figure of the little infant, Jesus. Fr. John walked up to
Harry and said “Well, Harry, where did you get the
little infant?
Harry replied honestly “I took him from the church.”
And why did you take him?”
With a sheepish smile, Harry said “About a week
before Christmas, I prayed to little Lord Jesus. I told
him if he would bring me a red wagon for Christmas,
I would give him a ride around the block in it.”

President’s Message by Ron Kluchka
As 2017 begins, we are remembering the wonderful time we shared with family and
friends on December 25th and are looking forward to the trimmings of Sviata Vechera.
It is also the time to acknowledge the hard work of many volunteers, committee chairs,
bingo workers, ticket sellers and the maintenance crew for all that they have
contributed towards two successful Puschenias, a great Malanka, a well maintained
building and grounds and much needed funds in the bank.
Members of the Women’s Association of our Parish & Jim have also contributed to our
fund raising functions. Special thanks goes to those who cooked, baked, decorated,
set up and cleaned up during the events and days prior to the events. Your assistance
and efforts are truly appreciated and help in keeping our parish strong and united.
Our 2017 Malanka takes place on January 14, 2017 and the Northern Kings will be
providing the music.
Our 2017 Puschenia which will take place on February 11, 2017 and the Chwill Brothers
Band will take the stage & provide the tunes.
Please tell your family, friends, neighbors or whoever else might listen and buy a ticket
to both or either of these events. To purchase tickets, please contact:
Korneil @ 780-475-3951 Henry @ 780-471-4661
Myron@ 780-475-5875 Ron @ 780-497-8852
The next bi-monthly meeting will be held on February 5th after fellowship coffee
and I encourage all members to attend.
I extend a thank you to Rev. Fr. Nicholas Orest Rauliuk for your continued blessings
and guidance.
