St. Sava Celebration 2021
Dear Parents, 
 
I hope you are doing well. We will be hosting an abridged St. Sava program on Sunday, January 24, 2021, immediately following liturgy in the church. The plan is to put together a video of the children singing in advance of the St. Sava celebration, that we will play that day, and then also for the kids to do their poems live in person.  The microphone will be hands free, on a table and each child will say their poem safely distanced from anyone else.
 
1. Please sign up for a poem by Saturday, January 16.
 
 
2.  Please submit your video of your children singing to draginja.vlajkovic@melroseschools.com via dropbox by Sunday January 10.
 
For the video, you will need:
-2 devices (smartphone/tablet/laptop)
-headphones
 
Directions:
Singer(s) should watch the video and practice along at least 2-3 times to get a feel for the pitch and tempo. Lyrics are attached here as well. Parents are welcome to sing along with your kids in the video recording.
 
When you are ready to record, have one device open with the camera app to record, while the other device will have the attached video of Boba ready (you will plug in headphones to this second device now so that Boba is not heard in your recording). It is important that you use headphones and are in a quiet space when recording. Please be sure to record your video horizontally.
 
You are to follow along with Boba's video while recording so that all entries can be layered as closely in sync as possible. Please email sundayschooladmin@stsavaboston.org with any questions.
 
 
 
Thank you,
Ankica P. Koldzic

Недеља Светих Праотаца

А Он му рече: Један човек зготови велику вечеру, и позва многе; И кад би време вечери, посла слугу свог да каже званима: Хајдете, јер је већ све готово. И почеше се изговарати сви редом; први му рече: Купих њиву, и ваља ми ићи да је видим; молим те изговори ме. И други рече: Купих пет јармова волова, и идем да их огледам; молим те, изговори ме. И трећи рече: Ожених се, и зато не могу доћи. И дошавши слуга тај каза ово господару свом. Тада се расрди домаћин и рече слузи свом: Иди брзо на раскршћа и улице градске, и доведи амо сиромахе, и кљасте, и богаљасте, и слепе. И рече слуга: Господару, учинио сам како си заповедио, и још места има. И рече господар слузи: Изиђи на путеве и међу ограде, те натерај да дођу да ми се напуни кућа. Јер вам кажем да ниједан од оних званих људи неће окусити моје вечере. Јер је много званих, али је мало изабраних.
29th Sunday after Pentecost

Then He said to him, “A certain man gave a great supper and invited many, and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’ But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’ And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’ Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ So that servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind.’ And the servant said, ‘Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room.’ Then the master said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. ’For I say to you that none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper.’”
