Sunday Troparion, Tone 6: Angelic Hosts were above Thy tomb, * and they that guarded Thee became as dead. * And Mary stood by the grave seeking Thine immaculate Body. * Thou didst despoil Hades and wast not tempted by it. * Thou didst meet the Virgin and didst grant us life. * O Thou Who didst rise from the dead, O Lord, glory be to Thee.

Troparion of the Unmercenaries, Tone 8: O holy unmercenary physicians and wonderworkers, * visit our infirmities. * Freely have ye received, freely give unto us.

Sunday Kontakion, Tone 6: Having by His life-bestowing hand raised up all the dead out of the dark abysses, * Christ God, the Giver of Life, hath bestowed the Resurrection upon the fallen human race; * for He is Savior of all, the Resurrection, * and the Life and the God of all.

Kontakion of the Unmercenaries, Tone 2: Having received the grace of healing to those in need, * O all-glorious physicians and wonderworkers. * By your visitation * cast down the audacity of the enemy, * healing the world through your miracles.

Kontakion of the Theotokos, Tone 6: O protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame, * mediation unto the Creator most constant, * O despise not the suppliant voices of those who have sinned, * but be thou quick, O good one, to come unto our aid, * who in faith cry unto thee: * Hasten to intercession, and speed thou to make supplication, * thou who dost ever protect, * O Theotokos, them that honor thee.

Parish News

+ Thanks to everyone who helped out with the Bazaar yesterday. It was a great success. Glory to God! We hope to see everyone again next Saturday.

+ Fr. Peter will be in Jordanville Monday-Wednesday this week. There will be no Wednesday Akathist. There will be Small Compline on Friday. In case of emergency, please call Fr. Rastko Trbuhovich at 823-2846.

+ Please remember Marcus Bursik in your prayers as he travels. He is currently making a pilgrimage to Solovki Monastery on the White Sea.

+ The Bible Study continues today.

    Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.
    And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.
    And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

Love suffereth long, and is kind.
    Love envieth not.
Love vaunteth not itself,
    is not puffed up,
doth not behave itself unseemly,
    seeketh not its own,
is not easily provoked,
    thinketh no evil,
rejoiceth not in iniquity,
    but rejoiceth in the truth,
beareth all things,
    believeth all things,
hopeth all things,
    endureth all things.

Love never faileth.


If you are visiting today:

+ There are service books underneath the candle stand that you may borrow and follow along in. If you get lost, ask your neighbor to help you find the page.

+ As you can see, we stand for most of the service. If you are not accustomed to this, please feel free to sit if you feel the need. No one will mind! You should still stand during the Scripture readings and when the priest comes through.

+ In the Orthodox tradition, women cover their heads in church, and extra scarves can be borrowed from the candle stand at the entrance.

+ You will see people making the sign of the cross and bowing. Feel free to follow suit or not, however you are comfortable. Again, no one will mind either way.

+ Feel free to venerate (kiss) the icons and purchase a candle to light. Commemoration slips for Orthodox, living and reposed, may be placed on the tray by the candle stand. Please write down how many prosphora you would like (suggested donation: $1/ea.)

+ At the end of the service, you may come forward to venerate the hand-cross if you wish.

+ At our parish we do not pass a collection plate. Gifts are voluntary and can be left at the candle stand.

+ Anyone who wishes to receive Holy Communion must be an Orthodox Christian and make their Confession beforehand. Please speak with Fr. Peter for more information.


Confessions are heard at every evening service.
