Our participation in this event will reflect the spiritual status of our church. We encourage all of our
parishioners to register early and encourage your children to participate in all events at Parish Life Conference, such as creative festival, bible bowl and oratorical. Over 30 churches are participating in this event.
RESURRECTIONAL OF THE APOLYIKION IN TONE ONE While the stone was sealed by the Jews, and the soldiers were guarding thy most pure body, thou didst arise on the third day, O Savior, granting life to the world. For which cause, the heavenly powers cried aloud unto thee, O giver of life: Glory to thy resurrection, O Christ, Glory to thy kingdom! Glory to thy providence, o thou who alone art the lover of mankind! األول اللحن على القيامة طروبارية

TROPARION OF SAINT GEORGE IN TONE 4 As deliverer of captives, as defender of the poor, healer of the infirm, champion of kings, Victorious, Great Martyr George, intercede with Christ our Lord, intercede for the soul’s salvation.

KONTAKION OF THE THEOTOKOS IN TONE 2O Protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame, and their constant intercessor before the Creator, despise not the petitions of us sinners who are imploring you; in your goodness come to our help, who in faith cry to you: hasten, O Theotokos, to intercede for us, and hurry to pray for us, for you have always protected those who honor you.

EPISTLELet Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye
righteous.The Reading from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans (
2: 10-16)Brethren, glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. For God shows no partiality. All who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law. For it is not the hearers of the Law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the Law who will be justified. When Gentiles who have not the Law do by nature what the Law requires, they are a law to themselves, even
3
though they do not have the Law. They show that what the Law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew (4:18-23)
At that time, as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. And going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and He called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him. And He went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people.

.وداء مرض كل من الشعب ويشفي, الملكوت========================================
Atheist Couple....There was an atheist couple who had a child. The couple never told their daughter anything about God. One night when the little girl was 5 years old, the parents fought with each other and her dad took his gun and shot her mom right in front of the child. Then, the dad shot himself. The little girl watched it all. She was then sent to a foster home. The foster mom was a Christian and took the child to church. On the first day of Sunday School, the foster mom told the teacher that the girl had never heard of Jesus, and to have patience with her. The teacher held up a picture of Jesus and said, "Does anyone know who this is?" The little girl said, "I do, that's the man who was holding me that night, when my parents died." Is it any wonder that Jesus loves the little children? When I heard this incident, it made me stop and think. Oh, to have the innocence of a small child, to see the beauty in everything around us...Maybe we all need to stop and look at life through the eyes of a child. Look for the beauty in people that we meet. Look for the beauty of the things that God has created. Live for the moment, and drink in the beauty of what life has to offer us. We only pass by this way once, so take time to stop and smell the roses. We are the children of the world, and Jesus loves the little children
====================================================Friend, don't look down....
Years ago, a young sailor went to sea for the first time. Soon after their departure, his ship encountered a heavy storm and the sailor was commanded to go aloft and trim the sails. About three quarters of the way up, the young
5
sailor made the mistake of looking down. The roll of the ship combined with the tossing of the waves made for a frightening experience. The young man started to lose his balance. At that moment, an older sailor underneath him shouted, "Look up, son! Look up!" The young sailor did as he said -- he looked up and regained his balance. Similarly, when our focus is on the circumstances that we face, the waves of life, we can easily lose our balance and our direction. But when we switch our focus on to the victory that the Lord has already provided -- it is then that we will be able to maintain our stability, finish the assignments we've been given and get to the top!
Friend, are you feeling unstable today? Let's look up! There's no reason to look anywhere else -- Look to God, He will give you victory! Psalms 98:10 Sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvelous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.
