If you would like to see a preview of what's in the OVC Archives folder, scroll down or click here to find out more. 

These booklets in the OVC Archives were all created using Microsoft Word over several years, which have also been exported as PDF files and are downloadable for Silver or Gold members only. As you can see in the preview below, it has taken a huge amount of effort to build these archives, especially the document templates, designs, text typed in Church Slavonic, Serbian and English, in addition to the music notes created for many different services. All of these booklets are now going to be completely updated using new templates, designs, formatting, corrections that align better with the Church Tipykon, additional prayers / hymns, updated music notes and guidance, which will only be available for purchase in the OVC Store as published books (i.e. not downloadable). Creating these new books using Adobe InDesign (professional document publishing software) is a very meticulous process, which is why they will be released slowly as each one is completed and made available in the OVC Store.
