We are so very glad you have joined us today and we pray you will be inspired
and encouraged by your time with us
The Orthodox worship service is an ancient and timeless expression of how
people have loved served and worshipped God for many centuries but it may be a bit of
a different experience for you Please feel free to use a service book or not and simply
allow the words of the service to wash over you
The central act of our worship culminates in people receiving communion
This is a very special time for us all and we have some specific beliefs about our com-
munion together This is why we never impose this service on those who are not pre-
pared or are not baptized Orthodox This service may raise questions in your mind
Please feel free to ask Fr Barnabas or Fr Paul anything you wish after the service
At the end of the service EVERYONE is invited to come forward and receive a
portion of the ldquoblessed breadrdquo from Fr Barnabas No one should leave church
ldquohungryrdquo
Know you are welcome and we are glad you are here
May God bless you and your family

Resurrectional Apolytikion in the First Tone The stone had been se-
cured with a seal by the Judeans and a guard of soldiers was watching

mankind

Epistle Reading
The Reading is from St Pauls
Second Letter to Timothy 310-15
The Reading is from St Paulrsquos Letter
to the Romans 210-16
Brethren glory and honor and peace for every one 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
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

Gospel Reading
The Reading is from Matthew 418-23
At that time as Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee he saw two
brothers Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother cast-
ing a net into the sea for they were fishermen And he said to
them Follow me and I will make you fishers of men Immedi-
ately 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 their boat and their fa-
ther 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

TODAY WE REMEMBER
Second Sunday of Matthew
Resurrectional Apolytikion in the First Tone The stone had been se-
cured 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 For this reason were the powers of heaven
crying out to You O Life-giver Glory to Your resurrection O Christ glo-
ry to Your eternal rule glory to Your dispensation only One who loves
mankind
Seasonal Kontakion in the Second Tone O Protection of Christians that
cannot be put to shame mediation unto the creator most constant O des-
pise not the voices of those who have sinned but be quick O good one to
come unto our aid who in faith cry unto thee Hasten to intercession and
speed thou to make supplication O thou who dost ever protect O Theoto-
kos them that honor thee
Resurrectional Kontakion in the First Tone You arose from the sepul-
cher in glory as God and with yourself resurrected the world And mortal
nature extolled You as God and death was obliterated and Adam is danc-
ing O Master and Eve now redeemed from the bonds rejoices crying
out O Christ You are He who grants resurrection to all
We Also Remember Isaurus the Holy Martyr amp his Companions of Athens
Manuel Sabel amp Ishmael the Martyrs of Persia
Righteous Father Botolph Abbot of the Monastery of Ikanhoe
Please pray for those faithful who are currently in need of our most fervent interces-
sions Andrew Archie Bill Bill Carrie Demetra Dina Donna Efthymios
Elaine Elizabeth Christina Gus Heidi Igli James Jerry Joe John Maria Mi-
chael Nomiki Oni Paul Peter Sarah Taki Tara and Violeta
Epistle Reading
The Reading is from St Pauls
Second Letter to Timothy 310-15
The Reading is from St Paulrsquos Letter
to the Romans 210-16
Brethren glory and honor and peace for every one 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
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

At that time as Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee he saw two

them Follow me and I will make you fishers of men Immedi-
ately they left their nets and followed him And going on from there

brother in the boat with Zebedee their father mending their nets
and he called them Immediately they left their boat and their fa-

Gospel Reading
The Reading is from Matthew 418-23
At that time as Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee he saw two
brothers Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother cast-
ing a net into the sea for they were fishermen And he said to
them Follow me and I will make you fishers of men Immedi-
ately 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 their boat and their fa-
ther 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
Α Ω
Τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ περιπατῶν δὲ παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶδε
δύο ἀδελφούς Σίμωνα τὸν λεγόμενον Πέτρον καὶ ᾿Ανδρέαν τὸν ἀδελφὸν
αὐτοῦ βάλλοντας ἀμφίβληστρον εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν ἦσαν γὰρ ἁλιεῖςκαὶ
λέγει αὐτοῖς δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου καὶ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς ἁλιεῖς ἀνθρώπωνοἱ δὲ
εὐθέως ἀφέντες τὰ δίκτυα ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷΚαὶ προβὰς ἐκεῖθεν εἶδεν
ἄλλους δύο ἀδελφούς ᾿Ιάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καὶ ᾿Ιωάννην τὸν
ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ μετὰ Ζεβεδαίου τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν
καταρτίζοντας τὰ δίκτυα αὐτῶν καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτούςοἱ δὲ εὐθέως
ἀφέντες τὸ πλοῖον καὶ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ Καὶ
περιῆγεν ὅλην τὴν Γαλιλαίαν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς διδάσκων ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς
αὐτῶν καὶ κηρύσσων τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς βασιλείας καὶ θεραπεύων πᾶσαν
νόσον καὶ πᾶσαν μαλακίαν ἐν τῷ λαῷ
