The post pandemic goal for St. Nectarios - Pasco is to again have regular Sunday Liturgy Services along with Sunday School Classes. You are welcome to join us in working on this quest.
Currently, St Nectarios has a mixture of in church and on-line Services. Each month, there are usualy two in-Church Services: a Saturday Divine Liturgy and a Sunday Typica Service. The celebration of most on-line Services is conducted by Fr. John Angelis (in Seattle, WA) and the St. Nectarios Choir/Readers/Volunteers (in the Tri-Cities, WA). These on-line Services allows Father John to join us for Services without requiring travel to the Tricities.
The faithful may view/participate in the online Services on the Saint Nectarios-Pasco Group on Facebook. Online Services will be streamed and posted after they are complete. For many of the Services, the text is included to help the faithful follow the Service.

Message from Father John
Current Message
THE CALL OF THE FIRST DISCIPLES
Jesus called Peter, Andrew, John and James in their success to follow Him as His Disciples. They left their fisherman’s trade and followed Him.
God called us in our 40-Day blessing when our parents brought us to Church to dedicate us.
He called us in our Baptism and Chrismation. He made us members of His kingdom, His Church. We renounced Satan and accepted Him as our Lord and God in our baptism. We recited the Creed; we made a confession of Faith through our Godparents. We enlisted in His army. Now we are called to actualize it and serve Him.
Jesus empowered us with His Holy Spirit in our Chrismation: “The seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit.” We are now called to actualize His gift to us and increase it.
Jesus feeds us every Sunday with His Holy Communion: “Taste and see that the Lord is good;” “Receive the Body of Christ--Partake of the immortal Spring.” This is how we are fed spiritually and empowered to grow and bear abundant fruit in His Vineyard, His Church. From all of us he expects to serve Him; to respond to His call and serve Him where we are, doing His commandments and serving our fellow man with the gifts He has bestowed upon us.
Let us remember the liturgical, today--Christ’s continuous presence among us. His Church is not a museum of past accomplishments. It is not theories. It is a workshop, where we learn the truth of God, as Jesus, His incarnate Son, revealed it to us. It is a place where we receive the grace of God, His power, to enable us to put into practice His teaching, what God requires of all of us. It is the place where we have the example of Jesus and of all His Saints who lived the truth of God in their life and whom we are called to imitate and emulate in our life.
The Disciples, whom Jesus called in today’s gospel lesson, followed Jesus and learned the truth from Him: Who God is and what He requires of us. They formed the first Church and all the others joined them. Together they lived the truth of God in the early Church and they have passed it on to us to know and practice it.
One generation succeeds the other but the truth of God remains the same and all of us are called to live this truth in our Church as its living members.
With love,
Fr. John P. Angelis
Saints and Feasts
September 25
Euphrosyne of Alexandria
Our righteous Mother Euphrosyne, who lived during the reign of Saint Theodosius the Younger (408-450), was the daughter of Paphnutius of Egypt. Forsaking her father and his wealth, she renamed herself Smaragdus, and pretending to be a eunuch of the imperial palace, she dressed herself as a man and entered a monastery of men where her identity remained unknown until her repose thirty-eight years later.

Hymns of the Day
Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Plagal Second Tone
O Christ, the angelic powers appeared at Your tomb, the guards were as dead, and Mary stood by the sepulcher, seeking Your sacred body. You destroyed Hades yet remained untouched by it. You encountered the Virgin and through her, bestowed Life. Glory to You who has risen from the dead!
Apolytikion for Euphrosyne of Alexandria in the Plagal Fourth Tone
The image of God, was faithfully preserved in you, O Mother. For you took up the Cross and followed Christ. By Your actions you taught us to look beyond the flesh for it passes, rather to be concerned about the soul which is immortal. Wherefore, O Holy Euphrosyne, your soul rejoices with the angels.
Seasonal Kontakion in the Second Tone
O Protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame, mediation unto the creator most constant: O despise not the voices of those who have sinned; but be quick, O good one, to come unto our aid, who in faith cry unto thee: Hasten to intercession and speed thou to make supplication, O thou who dost ever protect, O Theotokos, them that honor thee.

Gospel and Epistle Readings
Epistle Reading
Prokeimenon. Plagal Second Tone. Psalm 27.9,1.
O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance.
Verse: To you, O Lord, I have cried, O my God.
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
1st Sunday of Luke
The Reading is from Luke 5:1-11
At that time, as Jesus was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, he saw two boats by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. And when he had ceased speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." And Simon answered, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets." And when they had done this, they enclosed a great shoal of fish; and as their nets were breaking, they beckoned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord." For he was astonished, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken; and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; henceforth you will be catching men." And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
