4 ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΣ Πρὸς Βʹ Κορινθίους 9:6-11 Ἀ δελφοί, ὁ σπείρων φειδομένως, φειδομένως καὶ θερίσει, καὶ ὁ σπείρων ἐπ' εὐλογίαις ἐπ' εὐλογίαις καὶ θερίσει. Ἕκαστος καθὼς προαιρεῖται τῇ καρδίᾳ, μὴ ἐκ λύπης ἢ ἐξ ἀνάγκης ἱλαρὸν γὰρ δότην ἀγαπᾷ ὁ Θεός. Δυνατὸς δὲ ὁ Θεὸς πᾶσαν χάριν περισσεῦσαι εἰς ὑμᾶς, ἵνα ἐν παντὶ πάντοτε πᾶσαν αὐτάρκειαν ἔχοντες περισσεύητε εἰς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθόν, καθὼς γέγραπται 'Εσκόρπισεν, ἔδωκε τοῖς πένησιν, ἡ δικαιοσύνη αὐτοῦ μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. Ὁ δὲ ἐπιχορηγῶν σπέρμα τῷ σπείροντι καὶ ἄρτον εἰς βρῶσιν χορηγήσαι καὶ πληθύναι τὸν σπόρον ὑμῶν καὶ αὐξήσει τὰ γενήματα τῆς δικαιοσύνης ὑμῶν ἐν παντὶ πλουτιζόμενοι εἰς πᾶσαν ἁπλότητα, ἥτις κατεργάζεται δι' ἡμῶν εὐχαριστίαν τῷ Θεῷ. ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΟΝ Kατὰ Λουκᾶν ϛʹ Ε ἶπεν ὁ Κύριος καθὼς θέλετε ἵνα ποιῶσιν ὑμῖν οἱ ἄνθρωποι, καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε αὐτοῖς ὁμοίως. Καὶ εἰ ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας ὑμᾶς, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστί; Καὶ γὰρ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτοὺς ἀγαπῶσι. Καὶ ἐὰν ἀγαθοποιῆτε τοὺς ἀγαθοποιοῦντας ὑμᾶς, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστί; Καὶ γὰρ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ποιοῦσι. Καὶ ἐὰν δανείζητε παρ' ὧν ἐλπίζετε ἀπολαβεῖν, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστί; Καὶ γὰρ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἁμαρτωλοῖς δανείζουσιν ἵνα ἀπολάβωσι τὰ ἴσα. Πλὴν ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν καὶ ἀγαθοποιεῖτε καὶ δανείζετε μηδὲν ἀπελπίζοντες, καὶ ἔσται ὁ μισθὸς ὑμῶν πολύς, καὶ ἔσεσθε υἱοὶ ὑψίστου, ὅτι αὐτὸς χρηστός ἐστιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀχαρίστους καὶ πονηρούς. Γίνεσθε οὖν οἰκτίρμονες καθὼς καὶ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν οἰκτίρμων ἐστίν. WEDNESDAY SERVICES IN EFFECT Please join us every Wednesday for our evening service at 6:00 pm, starting October 7, with the Agiasmos.

5 EPISTLE II Corinthians 9:6-11 B rethren, the point is this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that you may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work. As it is written, "He scatters abroad, he gives to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever." He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your resources and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way for great generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. GOSPEL Luke 6:31-36 T he Lord said, "And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful." COUNCIL MEMBERS ON DUTY TODAY Mike Kouremetis Nikitas Manias John Stamas Chris Palaidis Irene Karavokiros Maria Klonaris Themis Fountotos- Tezza

Δόξα τῇ Ἀναστάσει σου Χριστέ, δόξα τῇ βασιλείᾳ σου, δόξα τῇ οἰκονομίᾳ σου, μόνε φιλάνθρωπε. Του Ναού Κανόνα πίστεως και εικόνα πραότητος, εγκρατείας διδάσκαλον, ανέδειξέ σε τη ποίμνη σου, η των πραγμάτων αλήθεια δια τούτο εκτήσω τη ταπεινώσει τα υψηλά, τη πτωχεία τα πλούσια, Πάτερ Ιεράρχα Νικόλαε, πρέσβευε Χριστώ τω Θεώ, σωθήναι τας ψυχάς ημών. Κοντάκιον Προστασία τῶν Χριστιανῶν ἀκαταίσχυντε, μεσιτεία, πρὸς τὸν Ποιητὴν ἀμετάθετε, μὴ παρίδῃς, ἁμαρτωλῶν δεήσεων φωνάς, ἀλλὰ πρόφθασον, ὡς ἀγαθή, εἰς τὴν βοήθειαν ἡμῶν, τῶν πιστῶς κραυγαζόντων σοι Τάχυνον εἰς πρεσβείαν, καὶ σπεῦσον εἰς ἱκεσίαν, ἡ προστατεύουσα ἀεί, Θεοτόκε, τῶν τιμώντων σε. Resurrectional Apolytikion The stone had been secured with a seal by the Judeans, and a guard of soldiers was watching Your immaculate body. You rose on the third day, O Lord and Savior, granting life unto the world. And therefore the powers of heaven cried to You, O Giver-of- Life: Glory to Your resurrection, O Christ; glory to Your kingdom; glory to Your dispensation, only One who loves mankind. Apolytikion of St. Nicholas As rule of the faith and picture of gentleness, and teacher of temperance you were exhibited to your flock, by the truth of the evidence, Thus you acquired the lofty through humility, abundance through poverty. Father and Hierarch Nicholas, intercede with Christ our God, that our souls may be saved. Kontakion O Protection of Christians unshamable, mediation with the Creator immovable, we sinners beg you, do not despise the voices of our prayers, but anticipate, since you are good, and swiftly come unto our aid as we cry out to you with faith: Hurry to intercession, and hasten to supplication, O Theotokos who defend now and ever those who honor you.

7 EULAMPIUS & EULAMPIA THE MARTYRS Saints Eulampius and Eulampia (died 310 AD) are 3rd-century Christian martyrs. Τhey were brother and sister and natives of Nicomedia and were executed during the reign of Emperor Maximinus II Daia. Eulampius was arrested by the Roman authorities during an attempt to buy supplies for Christians who were hiding in caves on the outskirts of Nicomedia. After Eulampius was whipped, his sister Eulampia was arrested after she identified herself by emerging from a crowd to embrace and comfort him. Eulampius and Eulampia were executed the next day. According Τwo hundred soldiers, moved by the courage of the two siblings, converted to Christianity and were themselves martyred. ΆΓΙΟΙ ΕΥΛΑΜΠΙΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΕΥΛΑΜΠΙΑ Τα αδέλφια Ευλάμπιος και Ευλαμπία έζησαν στα χρόνια του αυτοκράτορα Μαξιμιανού (296 μ.χ.). Ο διωγμός κατά των χριστιανών ήταν σκληρός και ανελέητος. Γι' αυτό, ο Ευλάμπιος και η αδελφή του Ευλαμπία κρύβονταν μαζί με άλλους χριστιανούς στο βουνό. Εκεί, ζούσαν καλλιεργώντας την προσευχή και τη μελέτη των Ιερών Γραφών. Κάποια μέρα, ο Ευλάμπιος πήγε στη Νικομήδεια να προμηθευθεί τροφές. Αλλά οι ειδωλολάτρες τον αναγνώρισαν και αμέσως τον συνέλαβαν. Βέβαια, στην ερώτηση του βασιλιά αν πιστεύει στο Χριστό, ομολόγησε φανερά ότι είναι χριστιανός, οπότε τον έβαλαν μέσα σε ειδωλολατρικό ναό για να θυσιάσει με τη βία. Ο Ευλάμπιος, όμως, δια της προσευχής συνέτριψε το είδωλο του θεού Άρη. Και ενώ άρχισαν να τον μαστιγώνουν με τον πιο απάνθρωπο τρόπο, όρμησε η αδελφή του Ευλαμπία, και αφού τον αγκάλιασε, παρακάλεσε το Θεό να την αξιώσει να συμμαρτυρήσει με τον αδελφό της. Τότε έβαλαν και τους δύο σε ένα καζάνι με βραστό νερό. Αλλά δια θαύματος αυτοί δροσίζονταν, και έτσι βγήκαν σώοι και αβλαβείς. Αυτό έκανε να πιστέψουν στο Χριστό 200 ειδωλολάτρες, οι όποιοι μαζί με τον Ευλάμπιο και την Ευλαμπία αποκεφαλίστηκαν υπέρ της αλήθειας του Κυρίου. Saints and Feasts PELAGIA THE RIGHTEOUS This Saint was a prominent actress of the city of Antioch, and a pagan, who lived a life of unrestrained prodigality and led many to perdition. Instructed and baptized by a certain bishop named Nonnus, she departed for the Mount of Olives near Jerusalem, where she lived as a recluse, feigning to be a eunuch called Pelagia. She lived in such holiness and repentance that within three or four years she was deemed worthy to repose in an odour of sanctity, in the middle of the 5th century. Her tomb on the Mount of Olives has been a place of pilgrimage ever since. ΟΣΙΑ ΠΕΛΑΓΙΑ Η Οσία Πελαγία ζούσε στην Αντιόχεια και ανήκε στην τάξη των ελαφρών γυναικών. Η ακολασία είχε πωρώσει τόσο τη συνείδησή της, ώστε καμιά έννοια μετανοίας να μη μπορεί να εισχωρήσει στην ψυχή της. Επομένως, θα μπορούσε να πει κανείς, ήταν καταδικασμένη από την επίγεια ζωή της στο πυρ της κολάσεως. Όμως όχι! Ο πολυεύσπλαχνος Κύριός μας διαβεβαίωσε ότι «αι τελώναι και αι πόρνοι προάγουσιν υμάς εις την βασιλείαν του Θεού». Δηλαδή, οι τελώνες και οι πόρνες, που στην αρχή έδειξαν απείθεια στο Νόμο του Θεού, αλλά κατόπιν ειλικρινά μετάνιωσαν, προλαμβάνουν στη βασιλεία του Θεού εσάς, που μόνο με τα λόγια δείξατε υπακοή στο Θεό, στην πράξη όμως υπήρξατε απειθείς και άπιστοι. Πράγματι η Πελαγία τυχαία σε κάποια σύναξη χριστιανών άκουσε θερμό κήρυγμα περί αγνότητας, του επισκόπου Νόννου. Τα λόγια του ήλεγξαν και συγκλόνισαν την ψυχή της. Με τη χάρη του Θεού, απαρνήθηκε την άσωτη ζωή της, και τα χρήματα διαμοίρασε στους φτωχούς. Αφού κατηχήθηκε και βαπτίσθηκε, μετά οκτώ μέρες πήγε στην Ιερουσαλήμ, όπου με σκληρή άσκηση πέρασε την υπόλοιπη ζωή της.

17 If we have the faith to dive in head-first. Our Epiphany celebration draws attention from around the world. But at the root of this holy day is a baptism. In baptism, submergence in water represents death to the old ways of sin, and what follows is a resurrection a rebirth to a new life in Christ. While Orthodox Christians are baptized only once, as a community we commemorate Christ s baptism every year. What better time to renew your life in Christ? What better way than through stewardship? We are stewards of the first catch.
