WEDNESDAY, September 11

This Sunday we come to the Feast of the Nativity of the Theotokos (Sept.8), and this is also the Sunday before the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. What is the significance of this to us?
Please see:

www.goarch.org/exaltation
According to the ancient tradition of the Church, the Theotokos was born of barren and aged parents, Joachim and Anna, about the year 16 or 17 before the birth of Christ. Joachim was descended from the royal line of David, of the tribe of Judah. Anna was of the priestly tribe of Levi, a daughter of the priest Matthan and Mary, his wife.
*Names for the Parish Prayer List will be updated each month. Please resubmit names that you wish to have continued.
AUGUST PRAYER LIST:
The implementation and enforcement of the Policies for the Safety of Children and Youth take another step forward towards the goal of ensuring that every ministry and event is physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe and healthy for the children of all Greek Orthodox Churches in America.
I am writing as Archbishop to bring to your attention an important matter that is and must be an urgent concern for all of us who work with children in every aspect of the Archdiocese, in every Metropolis and in every parish and youth ministry. This letter is to call each of us to action, and to encourage us as our clergy, our lay leaders and our fellow parishioners to mobilize to serve our children and youth.
