WELCOME! We would like to welcome our visitors with us today. We invite you to follow
the Divine Liturgy, which begins on page 28 of the Blue Service Books. WE REGRET
THAT THE DIVISION OF CHIRISTIANITY DOES NOT PERMIT US TO OFFER
COMMUNION TO NON-ORTHODOX OR THOSE OF THE CHURCH WHO ARE
UNPREPARED. However, please come forward at the end of the Divine Liturgy to venerate
the Cross and receive the Antidoron - blessed bread - as a token of love and fellowship.
PLEASE RESPECT THE HOLY LITURGY BY ARRIVING TO CHURCH ON TIME
AND PARTAKING IN THE LITURGY TOGETHER WITH THE ENTIRE
CONGREGATION. The prosperity of our Church is in your hands! Please remember to
leave your contact information by signing the guest book before you leave the Church.
which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid. And
when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and
Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very
early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the
rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone
from the door of the sepulchre? And when they looked, they saw that the stone was
rolled away: for it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young
man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were
affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth,
which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee:
there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. And they went out quickly, and fled from
the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to
any man; for they were afraid.

PRAY FOR THE CHRISTIANS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
PASTORAL VISITATIONS: Ranko Tepsic;
EPISTLE: (Acts 6:1-7) And in those days, when the number of the disciples was
multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because
their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. Then the twelve called the
multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave
the word of God, and serve tables. Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you
seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may
appoint over this business. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to
the ministry of the word.And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they
chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus,
and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: Whom
they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on
them.
7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in
Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
GOSPEL: (Mark 15:43-16:8 ) Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor,
which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and
craved the body of Jesus. And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling
unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead. And
when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. And he bought fine
linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre

Stewardship Reflection
CHRIST IS RISEN!
INDEED HE IS RISEN!
The Sunday of The Myrrh-Bearing Women
May 19, 2013
We pray that you had a blessed Great Lent
and a glorious Pascha celebration with your
families and friends.
Reflecting on the Scriptures from Bright
Tuesday, we read that "whoever calls on
the name of the Lord shall be saved" Acts
2:21
Prayer is a very beneficial way to ask God to
help and guide us during any difficult times
that we face. We also should remember to
thank God for all that he provides as well.
St. John Chrysostom's homily for Bright
Tuesday also reflects on the fact that all of
those who are faithful and call on God will be saved whether they are a priest, a
slave, a poor person, an individual who works two jobs, a wealthy executive or
someone that is homeless..... we will be judged according to our deeds, the work
that we do and our words. It's not who we are as much as it is what we do and how
we act. This is why we are asked and guided in the Scriptures to give freely of our
Time, Talents and Treasures.
As we prepare for Christ's Ascension during the next 40 days, greet all of the
Orthodox faithful with "Christ Is Risen" and please remember to help our parish any
way that you can. With the summer months (and vacations) right around the corner,
this is typically a time where the parish has it's greatest need. Please ask any of the
priests, the Stewardship committee or executive board members how you can help.
Fill out the "STEWARDSHIP" form for 2013. Please give your
time and talents!
