Oxi Day Celebration Following Divine Liturgy
Catechumen Class Schedule for the Fall
We welcome back Fr. Sam as our Presiding Priest this Sunday. There will be no Vespers on Saturday.
All those who will be receiving Holy Communion are reminded that all lipstick or lip balm (which leave a residue on the spoon) must be removed completely before coming forward. Thanks for your understanding.
As stated in the last bulletin, our Church currently has no Religious Education leadership or program. In an attempt to provide some measure of instruction for at least grades 6-12, l will hold class Sundays after communion in the Conference Room if I hear from parents a commitment to bring students to church consistently. We will cover the day’s Gospel lesson, feast/saints days, and other topics of our Church’s theology. Class will not last more than 30 minutes.
Please contact me at frednbeth@cox.net or call/text at 540-510-5553 or home phone 540-563-5141 to register your 6-12 grade children by 22 October. If you want to help by teaching or leading the program, please contact the church office.
In His Service,
Fred Gianakouros
After the completion of the Divine Liturgy, there will be a Memorial Service for Adrian Sandu's parents, Marioara and Gheorghe, and for Pete Simopoulos' parents, Sotirios and Kanella.
The Hellenic Club will join Philoptochos in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Saturday, October 29 at Longwood Park, 601 E. Main Street, Salem, VA. We ask everyone to meet at the registration tent at 9:15 a.m. The opening ceremony begins at 9:30 a.m. and the walk begins at 10:00 a.m. In order to sign up or donate, please go to, http://www.alz.org/ and find the Roanoke walk. From there, search for team “Holy Trinity.” We ask for everyone’s support in donating to this very worthwhile cause.
The Philoptochos business meeting will be this Sunday, October 9th.
Welcome to All Visitors!
Please join us for fellowship in the Church Hall immediately following the Divine Liturgy. For those visiting an Orthodox Church for the first time, please be aware that Holy Communion is a sign of unity of faith, which is only offered to Baptized and Chrismated Orthodox Christians. All present are welcomed to come forward and receive the antidoron (or blessed bread) which is distributed at the end of the service. For those interested in learning more about the Orthodox Christian faith, please feel free to speak with the priest after the service.

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 Second Letter to the Corinthians 6:16-18; 7:1.
Brethren, you are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will live in them and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."
Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, and make holiness perfect in the fear of God.
Gospel Reading
3rd Sunday of Luke
The Reading is from Luke 7:11-16
At that time, Jesus went to a city called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. As he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a large crowd from the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep." And he came and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, arise." And the dead man sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. Fear seized them all; and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and "God has visited his people!"
Wisdom of the Fathers
Hymns of the Day
Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Plagal Fourth Mode

Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ὁ πανσόφους τοὺς ἁλιεῖς ἀναδείξας, καταπέμψας αὐτοῖς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον, καὶ δι' αὐτῶν τὴν οἰκουμένην σαγηνεύσας, φιλάνθρωπε, δόξα σοι.
Blessed are You, O Christ our God who, by sending down the Holy Spirit upon them, made the fishermen wise and through them, illumined the world, and to You the universe is ever drawn. O Loving God, Glory to You.
