Σῶσον Κύριε τὸν λαόν σου καὶ εὐλόγησον τὴν κληρονομίαν σου

νίκας τοῖς βασιλεῦσι κατὰ βαρβάρων δωρούμενος καὶ τὸ σὸν φυ-

λάττων διὰ τοῦ Σταυροῦ σου πολίτευμα

Ἀπολυτίκιον Ἀναστάσιμον - Ήχος Δ΄- σ 110 ndash 112

Τὸ φαιδρὸν τῆς Ἀναστάσεως κήρυγμα ἐκ τοῦ Ἀγγέλου μαθοῦσαι αἱ

τοῦ Κυρίου Μαθήτριαι καὶ τὴν προγονικὴν ἀπόφασιν ἀπορρίψασαι

τοῖς Ἀποστόλοις καυχώμεναι ἔλεγον Ἐσκύλευται ὁ θάνατος

ἠγέρθη Χριστὸς ὁ Θεός δωρούμενος τῷ κόσμῳ τὸ μέγα ἔλεος

Resurrectional Apolytikion ndash p 111 - 113

The joyful news of Your resurrection was proclaimed by the angel to the

women disciples Having thrown off the curse that fell on Adam they ran

elatedly to tell the apostles Death has been vanquished Christ our God is

risen from the dead blessing all the world with His great mercy

Festal Apolytikiion For the Cross ndash Tone - p 181

Save O Lord save Your people and bless Your inheritance give

victory to those who battle evil and protect us all by Your holy cross

Ἀπολυτίκιον τής Άγίας Αικατερίνης - Ήχος Πλ Α΄

Τήν πανεύφημον νύμφην Χριστού υμνήσωμεν Αικατερίναν τήν

θείαν καί πολιούχον Σινά τήν βοήθειαν ημών καί αντίληψινmiddot ότι

εφίμωσε λαμπρώς τούς κομψούς τών ασεβών τού Πνεύματος τή

divine and protector of Sinai our assistance and unfailing firm

Κοντάκιον - Ήχος Δ΄- σ 232 - 234

Ὁ ὑψωθεὶς ἐν τῷ Σταυρῷ ἑκουσίως τῇ ἐπωνύμῳ σου καινῇ πολι-

τείᾳ τοὺς οἰκτιρμούς σου δώρησαι Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός εὔφρανον ἐν τῇ

δυνάμει σου τοὺς πιστοὺς βασιλεῖς ἡμῶν νίκας χορηγῶν αὐτοῖς

κατὰ τῶν πολεμίων Τὴν συμμαχίαν ἔχοιεν τὴν σήν ὅπλον εἰρή-

νης ἀήττητον τρόπαιον

Kontakion - 4th Mode - p 233 - 235

Bestow Your mercies on the people called by Your name Christ God

who freely let Yourself be raised on the cross To all who battle evil

give joy in Your powrsquor by gracing them with victrsquory over every foe

for having You as their ally they possess a weapon of peace an invin-

cible trophy of victrsquory

The Reading is from St Pauls Letter to the Galatians 216-20 BRETHREN you know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ even we have believed in Christ Je-sus in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law because by works of the law shall no one be justified But if in our endeavor to be justified in Christ we ourselves were found to be sinners is Christ then an agent of sin Certainly not But if I build up again those things which I tore down then I prove myself a transgres-sor For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God I have been crucified with Christ it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me

The Reading is from The Gospel of Mark 834-38 91 The Lord said If anyone wishes to come after me let him deny him-self and take up his cross and follow me For whoever would save his life will lose it and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospels will save it For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life For what can a man give in return for his life For who-ever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful gen-eration of him will the Son of man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels And he said to them Truly I say to you there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power

FROM THE CHANCELLORrsquoS DESK

As Christians we each encounter unexpected obstacles each day As we seek to remain committed to our Lord Jesus Christ we come to realize that following Him is a lifestyle that builds on past lessons and decisions Perhaps the most important factor is our willingness to dedicate our lives to Him totally each day While we succeeded yesterday or last week each day God looks forward to our continuing to grow closer in our rela-tionship with Him Through our prayers we can seek His will to enable us to live with Him and include others as we journey to His eternal Kingdom Each new day is both a challenge and an opportunity Yes our faith will be challenged and we can use that challenge as an opportunity to grow in our relationship with God Jesus Himself said that those who wanted to be His disciples were expected to be in a continual attitude of self-denial and obedience to Him Heres how the Lord put it ldquoIf any want to be-come My followers let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me (Luke 923) As each day unfolds consider taking a brief time-out Yes pause and re-mind yourself that this is a day dedicated to God that it is to be used for His glory and that it is best lived with a continual recollection of what Jesus did for us on the Cross As we begin each day lets look at life this way and make a deliberate and conscious commitment to cling to Him Our lives as Christians began in the past but continue in the present when we dedicate every day to live for Christ and share with our families and others what He did for all of us That way our future is assured and we will know for certain the path to pursue which lasts forever +Fr George Tsahakis Chancellor

FROM THE CHANCELLORrsquoS DESK

As Christians we each encounter unexpected obstacles each day As we seek to remain committed to our Lord Jesus Christ we come to realize that following Him is a lifestyle that builds on past lessons and decisions Perhaps the most important factor is our willingness to dedicate our lives to Him totally each day While we succeeded yesterday or last week each day God looks forward to our continuing to grow closer in our rela-tionship with Him Through our prayers we can seek His will to enable us to live with Him and include others as we journey to His eternal Kingdom Each new day is both a challenge and an opportunity Yes our faith will be challenged and we can use that challenge as an opportunity to grow in our relationship with God Jesus Himself said that those who wanted to be His disciples were expected to be in a continual attitude of self-denial and obedience to Him Heres how the Lord put it ldquoIf any want to be-come My followers let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me (Luke 923) As each day unfolds consider taking a brief time-out Yes pause and re-mind yourself that this is a day dedicated to God that it is to be used for His glory and that it is best lived with a continual recollection of what Jesus did for us on the Cross As we begin each day lets look at life this way and make a deliberate and conscious commitment to cling to Him Our lives as Christians began in the past but continue in the present when we dedicate every day to live for Christ and share with our families and others what He did for all of us That way our future is assured and we will know for certain the path to pursue which lasts forever +Fr George Tsahakis Chancellor

THE JESUS PRAYER

Κύριε Ἰησοῦ Χριστέ Υἱέ Θεοῦ

ἐλέησόν με τὸν ἁμαρτωλόν

(τὴν ἁμαρτωλόν if prayed by a female)

Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on me a sinner

Κοντάκιον - Ήχος Δ΄- σ 232 - 234

Ὁ ὑψωθεὶς ἐν τῷ Σταυρῷ ἑκουσίως τῇ ἐπωνύμῳ σου καινῇ πολι-

τείᾳ τοὺς οἰκτιρμούς σου δώρησαι Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός εὔφρανον ἐν τῇ

δυνάμει σου τοὺς πιστοὺς βασιλεῖς ἡμῶν νίκας χορηγῶν αὐτοῖς

κατὰ τῶν πολεμίων Τὴν συμμαχίαν ἔχοιεν τὴν σήν ὅπλον εἰρή-

νης ἀήττητον τρόπαιον

Kontakion - 4th Mode - p 233 - 235

Bestow Your mercies on the people called by Your name Christ God

who freely let Yourself be raised on the cross To all who battle evil

give joy in Your powrsquor by gracing them with victrsquory over every foe

for having You as their ally they possess a weapon of peace an invin-

cible trophy of victrsquory

The Reading is from St Pauls Letter to the Galatians 216-20 BRETHREN you know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ even we have believed in Christ Je-sus in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law because by works of the law shall no one be justified But if in our endeavor to be justified in Christ we ourselves were found to be sinners is Christ then an agent of sin Certainly not But if I build up again those things which I tore down then I prove myself a transgres-sor For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God I have been crucified with Christ it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me

The Reading is from The Gospel of Mark 834-38 91 The Lord said If anyone wishes to come after me let him deny him-self and take up his cross and follow me For whoever would save his life will lose it and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospels will save it For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life For what can a man give in return for his life For who-ever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful gen-eration of him will the Son of man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels And he said to them Truly I say to you there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power

FROM THE CHANCELLORrsquoS DESK

As Christians we each encounter unexpected obstacles each day As we seek to remain committed to our Lord Jesus Christ we come to realize that following Him is a lifestyle that builds on past lessons and decisions Perhaps the most important factor is our willingness to dedicate our lives to Him totally each day While we succeeded yesterday or last week each day God looks forward to our continuing to grow closer in our rela-tionship with Him Through our prayers we can seek His will to enable us to live with Him and include others as we journey to His eternal Kingdom Each new day is both a challenge and an opportunity Yes our faith will be challenged and we can use that challenge as an opportunity to grow in our relationship with God Jesus Himself said that those who wanted to be His disciples were expected to be in a continual attitude of self-denial and obedience to Him Heres how the Lord put it ldquoIf any want to be-come My followers let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me (Luke 923) As each day unfolds consider taking a brief time-out Yes pause and re-mind yourself that this is a day dedicated to God that it is to be used for His glory and that it is best lived with a continual recollection of what Jesus did for us on the Cross As we begin each day lets look at life this way and make a deliberate and conscious commitment to cling to Him Our lives as Christians began in the past but continue in the present when we dedicate every day to live for Christ and share with our families and others what He did for all of us That way our future is assured and we will know for certain the path to pursue which lasts forever +Fr George Tsahakis Chancellor

VPK Kindergarten amp 1st grades - Brenda Roman amp Donna Thomson This Attendance 7 2nd-3rd Grades - Jonna Myatt What a great class We talked about the Trinity and what it means that God is three persons in One We know who the Father is and who the Son is but what do we know about the Holy Spirit What does He do We looked up some Bible verses and learned that the Holy Spirit is like the wind We can hear and feel the wind but we cannot see it However we can see the results of the wind Same is true about the Holy Spirit We cannot see Him but we can hear and feel Him He helps us say and do the right things and love oth-ers Craft was Spirit Pinwheels Attendance 10 4th amp 5th Grades - Daphne Courey amp Anastasia Theodorou What a great and engaged class we had today The kids were eager to share their results from being unplugged and they really enjoyed appreciating the glory of God all around them We reviewed the history of the discovery of the Holy Cross of Christ by Empress Helen in preparation of the feast day upcom-ing this week They learned how the basil showed Empress Helen where to direct the dig We had fresh basil and the kids all had a leaf to smell and learned about the special seedless basil that grew on top of where the cross was buried They learned about the Old Testament and how God sent the Judges- Gideon Deborah amp Samson to help the Israelites overcome the bondage of the Medianites after they had lost favor with the Lord for wor-shiping false idols We did an experiment with Sprite amp Water the kids stud-ied a glass of Sprite and a glass of water each looking the same but realizing that having Jesus in the heart amp soul gave them the extra sparkle amp fizz in life when they are called upon to show their Christian love for others in need Both can look exactly the same but the water is a little bland and bor-ing that is life without Jesus in it the Sprite is full of fizz amp sparkle in their life with Jesus in their hearts Their homework is to be unplugged for 15 minutes per day and appreciate all of the beauty God has created for them in their lives

FROM THE CHANCELLORrsquoS DESK

As Christians we each encounter unexpected obstacles each day As we seek to remain committed to our Lord Jesus Christ we come to realize that following Him is a lifestyle that builds on past lessons and decisions Perhaps the most important factor is our willingness to dedicate our lives to Him totally each day While we succeeded yesterday or last week each day God looks forward to our continuing to grow closer in our rela-tionship with Him Through our prayers we can seek His will to enable us to live with Him and include others as we journey to His eternal Kingdom Each new day is both a challenge and an opportunity Yes our faith will be challenged and we can use that challenge as an opportunity to grow in our relationship with God Jesus Himself said that those who wanted to be His disciples were expected to be in a continual attitude of self-denial and obedience to Him Heres how the Lord put it ldquoIf any want to be-come My followers let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me (Luke 923) As each day unfolds consider taking a brief time-out Yes pause and re-mind yourself that this is a day dedicated to God that it is to be used for His glory and that it is best lived with a continual recollection of what Jesus did for us on the Cross As we begin each day lets look at life this way and make a deliberate and conscious commitment to cling to Him Our lives as Christians began in the past but continue in the present when we dedicate every day to live for Christ and share with our families and others what He did for all of us That way our future is assured and we will know for certain the path to pursue which lasts forever +Fr George Tsahakis Chancellor

FROM THE CHANCELLORrsquoS DESK

As Christians we each encounter unexpected obstacles each day As we seek to remain committed to our Lord Jesus Christ we come to realize that following Him is a lifestyle that builds on past lessons and decisions Perhaps the most important factor is our willingness to dedicate our lives to Him totally each day While we succeeded yesterday or last week each day God looks forward to our continuing to grow closer in our rela-tionship with Him Through our prayers we can seek His will to enable us to live with Him and include others as we journey to His eternal Kingdom Each new day is both a challenge and an opportunity Yes our faith will be challenged and we can use that challenge as an opportunity to grow in our relationship with God Jesus Himself said that those who wanted to be His disciples were expected to be in a continual attitude of self-denial and obedience to Him Heres how the Lord put it ldquoIf any want to be-come My followers let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me (Luke 923) As each day unfolds consider taking a brief time-out Yes pause and re-mind yourself that this is a day dedicated to God that it is to be used for His glory and that it is best lived with a continual recollection of what Jesus did for us on the Cross As we begin each day lets look at life this way and make a deliberate and conscious commitment to cling to Him Our lives as Christians began in the past but continue in the present when we dedicate every day to live for Christ and share with our families and others what He did for all of us That way our future is assured and we will know for certain the path to pursue which lasts forever +Fr George Tsahakis Chancellor
