Hymns of the Day

Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Second Mode

When you descended to the realm of death You as life immortal rendered to Hades a mortal blow by Your all radiant divinity. And when You from infernal depths and the darkness below did raise the dead. All the hosts of heaven's powers did proclaim and cry out, O life giving Christ and our God we give glory.
Ὅτε κατῆλθες πρὸς τὸν θάνατον, ἡ Ζωὴ ἡ ἀθάνατος, τότε τὸν ᾅδην ἐνέκρωσας τῇ ἀστραπῇ τῆς Θεότητος, ὅτε δὲ καὶ τοὺς τεθνεῶτας ἐκ τῶν καταχθονίων ἀνέστησας, πᾶσαι αἱ Δυνάμεις τῶν ἐπουρανίων ἐκραύγαζον·Ζωοδότα Χριστὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν δόξα σοι.

Seasonal Kontakion in the First Mode

O God, when You come upon the earth in glory, the whole world will tremble. A river of fire will bring all before Your Judgment Seat and the books will be opened, and everything in secret will become public. At that time, deliver me from the fire which never dies, and enable me to stand by Your right hand, O Judge most just.
Ὅταν ἔλθῃς ὁ Θεός, ἐπὶ γῆς μετὰ δόξης, καὶ τρέμωσι τὰ σύμπαντα, ποταμὸς δὲ τοῦ πυρὸς πρὸ τοῦ Βήματος ἕλκῃ, καὶ βίβλοι ἀνοίγωνται, καὶ τὰ κρυπτὰ δημοσιεύωνται, τότε ῥῦσαί με, ἐκ τοῦ πυρὸς τοῦ ἀσβέστου, καὶ ἀξίωσον, ἐκ δεξιῶν σου μὲ στῆναι, Κριτὰ δικαιότατε.

    Saints and Feasts

    February 19

    Judgment Sunday (Meatfare Sunday)

    The foregoing two parables -- especially that of the Prodigal Son -- have presented to us God's extreme goodness and love for man. But lest certain persons, putting their confidence in this alone, live carelessly, squandering upon sin the time given them to work out their salvation, and death suddenly snatch them away, the most divine Fathers have appointed this day's feast commemorating Christ's impartial Second Coming, through which we bring to mind that God is not only the Friend of man, but also the most righteous Judge, Who recompenses to each according to his deeds.

    It is the aim of the holy Fathers, through bringing to mind that fearful day, to rouse us from the slumber of carelessness unto the work of virtue, and to move us to love and compassion for our brethren. Besides this, even as on the coming Sunday of Cheese-fare we commemorate Adam's exile from the Paradise of delight -- which exile is the beginning of life as we know it now -- it is clear that today's is reckoned the last of all feasts, because on the last day of judgment, truly, everything of this world will come to an end.

    All foods, except meat and meat products, are allowed during the week that follows this Sunday.

    The Holy Apostles of the Seventy Philemon, Apphia, Archippus, and Onesimus

    Philemon, who was from Colossae, a city of Phrygia, was a man both wealthy and noble; Apphia was his wife. Archippus became Bishop of the Church in Colossae. All three were disciples of the Apostle Paul. Onesimus, who was formerly an unbeliever and slave of Philemon, stole certain of his vessels and fled to Rome. However, on finding him there, the Apostle Paul guided him onto the path of virtue and the knowledge of the truth, and sent him back to his master Philemon, to whom he wrote an epistle (this is one of the fourteen epistles of Saint Paul). In this epistle, Paul commended Onesimus to his master and reconciled the two. Onesimus was later made a bishop; in Greece he is honoured as the patron Saint of the imprisoned. All these Saints received their end by martyrdom, when they were stoned to death by the idolaters. Saint Onesimus is also commemorated on February 15.

    MAYFEST and TULSA TOUGH - Calling all volunteers!  WE NEED YOU!  We will be participating at Mayfest (May 18th-21st) and Tulsa Tough (June 9th-11th).  We need help and leaders in many areas.  For Mayfest, please contact Nick Salis at nicholas-salis@utulsa.edu and for Tulsa Tough contact Tonya Boone tboone@ekkoranch.com.

    EVERYONE, please mark your calendars, and plan to come down to MAYFEST with your friends/co-workers for a GYRO LUNCH to help support our fundraising efforts.  

    Home/Business Blessings

    There are sheets available in the Narthex for you to fill out and request a home or business blessing.  We will schedule the blessings each week after we collect the request every Sunday.  Please forgive the delay in getting started, we will be contacting everyone this week to schedule the blessings.  This is a wonderful tradition and opportunity we look forward to each year!

    Community Center Update

    The loan closing took place this past Monday, and the work is really taking off.  The final amended guaranteed maximum price contract has been signed for a toal of $1, 682,715.  Other costs including thfe survey, bank closing cost, kitchen allowance, architect fees, etc. bring the TOTAL TO $1,998,302.  As you may remember, this does not include tile in the Banquet Hall, which would be preferred by the Building Commitee.  The estimated cost for the tile flooring in the Banquet Hall is $24,000; but this would put us over our budget.  If you or your family, friends, godparents, etc are interested in donating all or part of this $24,000; please contact Father George.  

    As a reminder, please do not enter or walk around the construction site!!

    Upcoming GOYA Events

    Stewardship Update

    We are off to a nice start for our 2017 Stweardship Program.  We received 3 more stewardship Cards this past week bringing the total to 72 cards received.  There are 10 "new" pledges among these 72 (families that had not turned in Pledge Cards in 2016).  Thanks to those who have pledged and given, and also thanks to those who are still prayerfully considering their 2017 Stewardshp.  Our time to commit is now.  Here is an encouraging fact:  We are well on our way to exceeding a great 2016 Stewardship Year.  Thanks to thei 72 Stewards for setting an example for all of us to follow!  Please prayerfully consider your pledge to our Lord's Church for 2017, and return your pledge card to Father George.

    Wisdom of the Fathers

    For when one has pity on the poor, he lends to God; and he who gives to the least gives to God--sacrifices spiritually to God an odour of a sweet smell.
    St. Cyprian of Carthage
    The Lord's Prayer, 33. B#41, p.102, 3rd century
