Please take note of the additional services scheduled during this sea- son, as found on the monthly calendar and in the bulletin. Reminder About the Eucharistic Fast: Those receiving Communion at an evening Lit- urgy are to fast for a minimum of 3 hours prior to the service. (Ideally, we should not eat after lunch.) Fasting from midnight is still observed before receiving Communion at any morning Liturgy. Also, remember that only services titled “Liturgy” have the distribu- tion of Holy Communion. Other services offered during Lent—Vespers, Canon, Moleben, Akathist, Paraklis, Parastas—do not have Communion. Confessions will be heard before evening services, starting at 5:25 PM and before Di- vine Liturgy on Sunday mornings, starting at 8:25 AM. (There is no need to make an appointment for these “walk-in” confession times.) If you would like to schedule an appointment for Confession at another time than those listed above, please call/text/e- mail Fr. David (724-813-3172, [email protected]). All Orthodox Christians are expected to approach this sacrament during Lent!

Please take a moment to offer a private prayer for his blessed repose! “Remember, O Lord, our departed hierarch, shep- herd and Father in Christ, METROPOLITAN NICH- OLAS, who has fallen asleep in the hope of resurrec- tion and eternal life. Forgive all his transgressions, voluntary and involuntary, in thought, word, or deed, and place him in a place of light and refresh- ment and peace where there is no pain, affliction or sorrow, and where the light of Your divine counte- nance shines forever and gives joy unto Your saints. Amen.” Eternal Memory! Vičnaja jemu pamjat’! In this photo, Metropolitan Nicho- las extends a blessing in our previ- ous church building in Sharon, with Fr. Michael Polanichka and Deacon John Anderson looking on. THOUGHTS ON STEWARDSHIP By Dan Hromyak "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son..." -John 3:16 Of all the wonderful gifts that God has given to us, the gift of His own Son is truly the greatest. How can we ever thank God for a gift like that? God does not ask us to sacrifice our own precious firstborn, but He does ask that we are grateful and gen- erous with our God-given gifts. That we nurture and develop our gifts, and in grati- tude, generously give back with increase our time in prayer, our talent in charitable works and our treasure to support the mission and ministry of our parish. "I will be their God and they shall be my people." - Jeremiah 31:33 What does it mean to be God's people? It means we recognize that everything we have and everything we are belongs to God. We aren't "owners" of anything, we are merely "stewards" of the gifts God has given us. It means we are willing to use our gifts and our lives to care for our family, our neighbors and for people we don't know, just as God cares for each of us.

Kartalopoulos, Archon Exarchos Introduction On behalf of the Order of Saint Andrew the Apostle (the Order), I thank you for allowing me to discuss with you the difficult environment faced every day by the Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarchate in Istanbul. The Order is a United States-based organization of Orthodox Christian laymen who have been honored for their outstanding service to the Orthodox Church by the granting of a Patriarchal title, or offikion, Archon of the Great Church of Christ, bestowed upon them by His All Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch, and personally conferred by the Exarch of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in America, His Eminence the Archbishop of America. The Ecumenical Patriarch’s flock is global and covers all continents. It includes the Carpatho-Russian Church in the United States as well as all Greek Orthodox Christians located in north, south and central America, Thus, the Order is under the canonical jurisdiction of Ecumenical Patriarchate and speaks today on behalf of and in support of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. The Archon’s mission is to defend the Ecumenical Patriarchate, which is headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, to promote its well-being and advancement, to preserve its important role in the spiritual life of Orthodox Christians, as well as all persons of faith in the world.

From death to life and from earth to heaven, Christ our God has brought us, singing a song of victory. (Paschal Canon, Ode I) Dearly Beloved in the Lord: The radiant day of the resurrection of Christ has risen upon us, shining with the light of the Lord’s victory over hell, corruption and death itself. His victory is also our victory, for by the divine Pascha of the Lord, we who are mortal and earthly have been brought from death to life and from earth to heaven. As we face a life that is so often fi lled with darkness, sorrow and temptation, it is easy to become discouraged, to lose hope and to waver in our faith. Our Lenten journey has offered each of us the opportunity to courageously rekindle that hope and that faith by laboring in the good spiritual effort of repentance, prayer and fasting.
