We are honored by your presence. It is our sincere desire that your participation today in the Divine Liturgy will draw you closer to Christ and His Church. If you are from a non-Orthodox background you may see new things such as icons, incense, the sign of the cross, the veneration of saints, and a great deal of standing. These can be perplexing to the uninitiated eye. Rest assured that everything we do has a solid biblical foundation and a long history among Christian people. Please feel free to participate where you feel comfortable and feel equally as free only to observe when you prefer. The Orthodox Church understands the Eucharist, or Lord’s Supper, to be – among other things – the paramount expression of Christian unity. While it is our deepest hope that Christendom will one day fulfill Christ’s desire for true unity among all those who claim His name (John 17:21), the unfortunate reality of our day is that the various segments of Christendom are not unified with the historic Orthodox faith. Since participation in the Eucharist expresses a unity with all the dogma and practice of the Orthodox Church, non-Orthodox guests do not receive Holy Communion. The Holy Eucharist is reserved for those members of the Orthodox Church who have prepared themselves by prayer, fasting, and recent confession. All visitors and unprepared Orthodox are invited to partake of the blessed bread as they come forward to venerate the cross at the end of the Liturgy. Thank you for your understanding. ST.

The 1st period is November 15th through December 19th when the traditional fasting discipline (no meat, poultry, eggs, dairy, fish, wine and oil) is observed with katalysis for wine and oil on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and for fish, wine and oil on Saturdays and Sundays. The 2nd period is December 20th through 24th when the traditional fasting discipline (no meat, poultry, eggs, dairy, fish, wine and oil) is observed with katalysis for wine and oil only on Saturday and Sunday. Thanksgiving Baskets – Thanks to the generosity of our community, all needed items have been filled for this year’s baskets. If you signed up, you may leave your donations on the tables set up in the library/teaching room. If your items need to be refrigerated, please label them “Thanksgiving baskets” and leave them in the refrigerator or freezer in the kitchen. The teens will be assembling the baskets on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 22nd, so please have all contributions dropped off at the church by that morning. Thank you again for assisting our families in need! Stay Vigilant – Thank you for your continued respect and love and adhering to all of the current guidelines for attendance. Please continue be mindful of those around you. In particular, please be mindful of congregating on or around the stairs after the services as people leave the building. Thank you! Small Groups – All of us need some type of social interaction. While we cannot have large group gatherings at the church at this time, you are encouraged to form small groups. Perhaps invite a family or two for an outdoor visit with coffee following the Divine Liturgy. As we send out our educational videos with discussion questions you may want to form a small group to watch the video and discuss it together. This can also be done over zoom or some other virtual platform. It is good for all of us to have our “bubble” of people that we are comfortable interacting with. May God provide us with the relationships that we need! Confessions – Fr. Philip has returned to hearing confessions following the services. If you would like to have your confession heard, please make a line outside the door on the west side of the nave. This will allow for privacy for each person making their confession. If you are not staying for confession, please venerate the icons and exit the nave to allow for the confessions to be heard. Parish Council Update: As was announced in our weekly email, we are beginning our pledge drive for the year. This is later than usual, but it is still important to prayerfully return your pledge card so that the council can have all of the information necessary to make a responsible budget for the next year. May the Lord continue to bless and multiply your generosity to Christ and His Holy Church! __________________________________________________________________ Youth Calendar HIGH SCHOOL: Sunday, 1:00 discussion MIDDLE SCHOOL: Sunday, 1:00 discussion ALL YOUTH UPCOMING: Sunday 11/22 - We will be gathering together at the Church from 1-3pm with masks and proper precautions to organize this year's Thanksgiving baskets for families in need!

Teaching, 10am We will be Sun., Dec. 6: Doctrine on Draft 5pm continuing All is Well by Dr. Al Rossi. LIBRARY LINES Monday we commemorate St. Matthew (11/16), one of the Twelve and the writer of the first book in the New Testament. Although hated by his fellow Jews because he was a tax collector, he obeyed the call of Christ and generously repaid those he had cheated. His writing shows us Jesus as the Messiah, Lord of the universe, and the High Priestly Sacrifice. He tells of the Kingdom of God in Jesus's own words. After Pentecost, the apostle Matthew preached in Palestine for several years. At the request of the Jewish converts, he wrote his Gospel before leaving for Ethopia where he was martyred. He found the country inhabited by cannibals who worshipped idols. While asking God for the salvation of the Ethiopians, Christ appeared to him in the form of a youth and gave him a staff. He told him to plant it at the doors of a church he had founded. There Matthew was met by relatives of the ruler Fulvian. He healed them, but Flavian accused Matthew of sorcery and gave orders for his execution. His body remained unharmed, and he gave his soul to the Lord. Although Fulvian repented, he still had doubts and ordered Matthew’s body to be placed in an iron coffin and thrown into the sea. The waves carried the coffin to the shores by the church. Fulvian begged the apostle’s forgiveness, was baptized and given the name Matthew. Read more about his life in The Notes on the Holy Apostles (REF HAG MAS) and Meet the Evangelists (KID STS KHO). The prophet Obadiah (11/19), a faithful servant of the Most High God, was a steward in the house of the idolatrous King Ahab. Obadiah healed one of three groups of soldiers sent by Queen Jezebel to arrest the Prophet Elias.

  • Saint Luke the Evangelist Greek Orthodox Church
    SAINT LUKE THE EVANGELIST GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH november 12, 2017—8th sunday of luke aint John the Merciful, Patriarch of Alexandria, was born on Cyprus in the seventh century into the family of the illustrious dignitary Epiphanius. At the wish of his parents he entered into marriage and had children. When the wife and the children of the saint died, he became a monk. He was zeal- Sous in fasting and prayer, and had great love for those around him. His spiritual exploits won him honor among men, and even the emperor revered him. When the Patriar- chal throne of Alexandria fell vacant, the emperor Heraclius and all the clergy begged Saint John to occupy the Patriarchal throne. The saint worthily assumed his archpastoral service, concerning himself with the moral and dogmatic welfare of his flock. As patriarch he denounced every soul-destroying heresy, and drove out from Alexan- dria the Monophysite Phyllonos of Antioch. He considered his chief task to be charitable and to give help all those in need. At the beginning of his patriarchal service he ordered his stewards to compile a list of all the poor and downtrodden in Alexandria, which turned out to be over seven thousand men. The saint ordered that all of these unfortunates be pro- vided for each day out of the church’s treasury. Twice during the week, on Wednesdays and Fridays, he emerged from the doors of the patriarchal ca- thedral, and sitting on the church portico, he received everyone in need. He settled quarrels, helped the wronged, and distributed alms.

  • The Messenger December 2017 Vol. 30 Issue 12
    1 The Messenger December 2017 Vol. 30 Issue 12 ”Beginning and Sequence in the Genealogy of Jesus Christ” The Genealogy offered at the beginning of the Gospel of Matthew (which is read as the Gospel lesson on the Sunday before Christmas) lists the ancestry of our Lord, God, and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is a list of curious people – saints and sinners – some righteous, some not so much – some well-known in Jewish history, others unknown and unexpected. The Genealogy is broken up into 3 sections of 14 generations each: Abraham to David; David to the Babylonian exile; Babylonian exile to the coming of the Messiah – Jesus Christ. Within this last section, except for the first two (Shealtiel and Zerubbabel) and the last two (Joseph and Mary), the generations listed are a collection of unknown people whose names never made it into sacred history for having done something significant. Yet, these generations of unknown people, presumably a mix of saint and sinner, were the vehicles of restoration – the coming of the Messiah. Certainly another indication of the unpredictability of God’s grace is that He accomplishes His purpose through those whom others regard as unimportant and forgettable. The genealogy is more than retrospective and instructive, however. We must recognize that in acting in Jesus Christ, God is consistent with His action in Abraham and David, in the patriarchs, in the kings, and in the unknown. But that is only one aspect of the story of Jesus Christ, a story that has a sequence as well as a beginning; and the ongoing aspects are what makes the genealogy “good news” for Matthew’s audience and for us.

  • St. John the Merciful, Patriarch of Alexandria Feastday: November 12
    St. John the Merciful, Patriarch of Alexandria Feastday: November 12 St. John the Merciful (Ελεήμων) was born in Amathus on Cyprus c. 550 to the patrician Epiphanius, a governor of the island. He married and had children, but was a widower when he was called to become patriarch of Alexandria in 611 AD. He quickly gained his epithet “Merciful” from his unstinting generosity in distributing the vast wealth of the patriarchate of Alexandria to the poor and afflicted. One of the first steps he took was to make a list of several thousand needy persons, whom he took under his special care. He always referred to the poor as his "lords and masters", because of their mighty influence at the Court of the Most High God. He assisted people of every class who were in need. John was remarkable for his almsgiving or mercy (ἐλεημοσύνη in Greek, hence his title Ἐλεήμων). To someone who was astounded at his generosity he recounted a vision he had seen in his youth in which “Compassion” appeared to him as a beautiful maiden and told him that she was the eldest daughter of God. The patriarchate of Alexandria had at its disposal immense wealth in both money and commercial enterprises, including shipping, and John put it all at the service of the poor. He was not only generous with the resources of his see, but with his own goods, as well. In one incident in his life he felt remorseful for accepting a richly-embroidered blanket as a gift and was unable to sleep until he sold it and gave the proceeds to the poor.

    THE FLAME HOLY TRINITY GREEK ORTHODOX CATHEDRAL Monthly Newsletter Volume 3, Issue 8 August 2013 METROPOLITAN ALEXIOS ADDRESSES CLERGY-LAITY ASSEMBLY Below is the keynote address of His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios, presented in June at the 2013 Metropolis of Atlanta Clergy-Laity Assembly and Philoptochos Conference in Boca Raton, Florida. It is an insightful piece, filled with information on numerous activities and programs within the Metropolis that directly impact our New Orleans Holy Trinity Cathedral community. Please take time to read it. It is my honor and privilege to welcome you to this wonderful city of Boca Raton in the southern part of the United States in our Holy and God-protected Metropolis of Atlanta. At this time, I want to express my gratitude and appreciation to His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios for taking the time to be with us and bless us later on today and to stay and celebrate the Divine Liturgy on Sunday. Also, I convey the blessings of His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, our spiritual father, who is constantly thinking about us and praying for us, along with all the members of the Patriarchal Synod. Although we may not realize it, I believe that we here in America are the largest and most productive eparchy. As we begin this evening the Metropolis of Atlanta Clergy-Laity Assembly, the gathering of representatives from all the communities in our Holy Metropolis of Atlanta, I give thanks and praise to Almighty God for all His Abundant blessings. Among them is this special opportunity to gather as the people of God, because we know that where two or three are gathered together there Christ is also, to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit, which we have just celebrated on Pentecost, and to discuss our common concerns, sharing our ideas, hopes, and dreams for the future of our Metropolis of Atlanta and, especially, for our young people.

  • The Church's Prayer for the Dead
    The Church’s Prayer for the Dead The Holy Orthodox Church, like a concerned mother, daily, at every divine service, offers up prayers for all her children who have departed for the land of eternity. Thus, at the midnight service troparia and prayers for the departed are read, and they are commemorated at its concluding ektenia. This is so also at compline. At matins and vespers the departed are remembered by name at the Augmented Ektenia, "Have mercy on us, O God..." They are commemorated three times during the Liturgy: at the Proskomedia, at the ektenia following the Gospel, and after the consecration of the Precious Gifts when "Meet it is in truth . ." is sung. Furthermore, one day of the week is set aside for prayers for the dead -Saturday, on which it is customary to have a service for the dead, unless it coincides with a feast, if such is to be served on that day. The Third Day We commemorate the dead on the third day firstly, because those who have departed had been baptized in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the One God in three Persons, and had kept the Orthodox faith they received at holy baptism; secondly, because they preserved the three virtues which form the foundation of our salvation, namely: faith, hope and love; thirdly, because man's being possesses three internal powers—reason, emotion and desire—by which we all have transgressed. And since man's actions manifest themselves in three ways—by deed, word, and thought—by our commemoration on the third day we entreat the Holy Trinity to forgive the departed all transgressions committed by the three above-mentioned powers and actions.
