Hymns of the Day

Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Grave Mode

By means of Your Cross, O Lord, You abolished death. * To the robber You opened Paradise. * The lamentation of the myrrhbearing women You transformed, * and You gave Your Apostles the order to proclaim to all * that You had risen, O Christ our God, * and granted the world Your great mercy.

Apolytikion for Martyr Menas in the Fourth Mode

Thy Martyrs, O Lord, in their courageous contest for Thee received as the prize the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal God. For since they possessed Thy strength, they cast down the tyrants and wholly destroyed the demons' strengthless presumption. O Christ God, by their prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful.

Seasonal Kontakion in the Fourth Mode

Today, the most pure temple of the Savior, the precious bridal chamber and Virgin, the sacred treasure of God, enters the house of the Lord, bringing the grace of the Divine Spirit. The Angels of God praise her. She is the heavenly tabernacle.

    Gospel and Epistle Readings

    Epistle Reading

    Prokeimenon. Fourth Mode. Psalm 67.35,26.
    God is wonderful among his saints.
    Verse: Bless God in the congregations.

    The reading is from St. Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians 4:6-15.

    Brethren, it is the God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

    But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For while we live we are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you.

    Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, "I believed, and so I spoke," we too believe, and so we speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.

    Gospel Reading

    8th Sunday of Luke
    The Reading is from Luke 10:25-37

    At that time, a lawyer stood up to put Jesus to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read?" And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this, and you will live."

    But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion, and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.' Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?" He said, "The one who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

    Announcements

    Altar Team: Mark

    Congratulations and Best Wishes to Matthew & Lisa Crowell on their recent marriage.  May God bless your marriage and grant you many blessed years together!

    Philoptochos will be hosting their annual Thanksgiving Luncheon today, November 11th, after Liturgy in the Church Hall.  The cost for the luncheon is $12 per person with children 7 years and under being free. We hope that you will plan to stay and join your Church family in giving thanks to God for all the gifts He has bestowed upon us.  Proceeds from the luncheon will benefit the Philoptochos Benevolent Fund and the Ecumenical Patriarchate.

    Please join AHEPA in saying THANK YOU to all members of our Church family who have served in the U.S. military.  In celebration of Veteran’s Day on Monday, we have posted pictures of our veterans in the Fellowship Hall.  If you have a picture you would like to add to our tribute board, please feel free to do so by Sunday, November 11th.

    Christmas for Glengarry Elementary Children!  Glengarry Elementary School in South Nashville is SO thankful for the 7-year partnership we have built with Holy Trinity! We believe we truly have the sweetest and best-behaved students in Nashville, but our children come from very challenging circumstances, with 98% of them living below the poverty line. Each year Holy Trinity parishioners have generously donated funds and we have been able to provide Christmas gifts for our homeless and neediest students. This year we are doing things a little differently. An Angel Tree will be set up in the fellowship hall by Sunday, November 18. It will have ornaments that represent each family and list the children’s names, ages, clothing sizes, and toy wishes. We are asking parishioners who would like to participate to please select an ornament and purchase gifts for each child on the ornament. We recommend spending approximately $25 per child and purchasing at least one warm clothing item and toy for each child. Please bring the gifts, wrapped and with the child's first name and the number listed on the top of the ornament on a gift tag, to the church by Sunday, December 16. Sponsors AHEPA (contact Tim Weeks) and Philoptochos (contact Sandra Pappas) will have a table by the Angel Tree to document your selection of ornaments and receive your gifts through December 16.

    The Book Group is now reading On Fasting and Feasts by St. Basil the Great.  It is available in the bookstore for $17.  Stop by and pick up your copy today!  We will be meeting sometime in December to discuss.

    Active Shooter Training Seminar – November 18th – On Sunday, November 18th at 12:30 pm in the Church Hall, the Tennessee Highway Patrol’s Division of Homeland Security will be here conducting a seminar on emergency response training in the event of an active shooter.  This event is a part of our overall emergency preparedness strategy.  We hope many will attend. 

    Philoptochos has soft white wheatberry (for use in making kollyva) for sale.  The bags are 2 lbs and are for sale for $3.00.  Anyone interested, please see Alexandra Pappas.

    If you would like to host a coffee hour, please contact the Church office at (615) 333-1047.

    Holy Martyr Vincent

    Saint Vincent is the most illustrious of the Martyrs of Spain. Because of his virtue, he was ordained deacon by Valerius, Bishop of Saragossa, who, because of his advanced age and an impediment in his speech, commissioned Vincent to be preacher of the Gospel. In 303, the impious Emperors Diocletian and Maximian sent Dacian to Spain as governor, with an edict to persecute the clergy. Saint Vincent was brought with Bishop Valerius to Valencia; the bishop was sent into exile, but the holy deacon was tortured on a rack, and after suffering other cruel torments, gave up his soul into the hands of God on January 22 in the year 304.
