Philoptochos News
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As you are all aware, we are experiencing turbulent times with the pandemic. Please continue to support and pray for each other, staying close and standing firm in our faith and looking to our Lord and Savior.
With all of this happening, Philoptochos has been unable to do fundraisers, such as our annual bake sale/luncheon, and to continue as ‘the friend of the poor’ and the hands and feet of Christ. The calling to reach out to each other and our communities as the hands and feet of Christ is not just for Philoptochos members. It is for all of us who are called by His name. We, your sisters and Philoptochos, are reaching out to you now for assistance to provide the love and blessings into our communities that we have been called, honored and privileged to do. Philoptochos reaches out with blessings within our church and extended communities, like RAM House, Feeding America, Ronald McDonald House. But when Philoptochos reaches out, we all reach out. We are a family within the Body of Christ.
So we appeal to you today for your assistance in maintaining the work of Christ. There will be a tray every Sunday at church marked Philoptochos for donations. Also, there will be the baskets that we have for our pantry and Ronald McDonald House in conference room, for non- perishable food items. If you prefer your donations for certain locations, please specify on your envelope.
Thank you and God bless,
Ladies Philoptochos, Holy Trinity, Roanoke

Gospel and Epistle Readings
Epistle Reading
Prokeimenon. Plagal Fourth Mode. Psalm 75.11,1.
Make your vows to the Lord our God and perform them.
Verse: God is known in Judah; his name is great in Israel.
The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians 4:1-7.
Brethren, I, a prisoner for the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all lowliness and meekness, with patience, forbearing one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all, who is above all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.
Gospel Reading
13th Sunday of Luke
The Reading is from Luke 18:18-27
At that time, a ruler came to Jesus and asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.' " And he said, "All these I have observed from my youth." And when Jesus heard it, he said to him, "One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." But when he heard this he became sad, for he was very rich. Jesus looking at him said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Those who heard it said, "Then who can be saved?" But he said, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."
