Resurrectional Apolytikion (Tone One) Although Your tomb was sealed with a stone, O Savior, And Your most pure Body was guarded by the soldiers, You rose on the third day giving life to all the world. Therefore O Giver of life, The powers of heaven praise You: Glory to Your Resurrection, O Christ, Glory to Your Kingdom. Glory to your saving Wisdom, O only Lover of mankind.
Church Hymn (Troparion of Pentecost) Blessed are You O Christ our God Who has shown the fishermen as wise men By sending down Your Holy Spirit upon them And through them, the whole world You drew into Your net O Lover of mankind, glory to You.

Presentation of Lord in Temple For our salvation You took flesh And You sanctified the Virgin's womb; You blessed the aged Simeon as You lay resting in his arms. And having come to save us all, O Christ our God, To these troubled times, bring Your lasting peace. Give strong and undaunted faith to all Your people, O only Lover of mankind. Everlasting be their memory (3) EPISTLE READING: St. Paul's Second Letter to Timothy 3:10-15 GOSPEL READING: The Gospel According to St. Luke 18:10-14 Readings may be found on pages 128 & 129 of the RED Liturgy Book.
RENEWING OUR COMMITMENT TO CHRIST
Everyone faces to the west and the Priest then says:
Priest: Do you renounce Satan, and all his works, and all his worship, and all his angels, and all his pomp? (3 times)
People: I do renounce him.
Priest: Have you renounced Satan? (3 times)
People: I have renounced him.
Priest: Then blow and spit upon him.
The faithful lean forward, blowing while lightly spitting, and then turn and face east.
Priest: Do you join Christ? (3 times)
People: I do join Him.
Priest: Have you joined Christ? (3 times)
People: I have joined Him.
Priest: And do you believe in Him?
People: I believe in Him as King and as God.
I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and
invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages;
Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not created, of one essence with the Father through
Whom all things were made.
Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and
the Virgin Mary and became man.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried;
And He rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father;
And He will come again with glory to judge the living and dead. His kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Creator of life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who together with
the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, Who spoke through the prophets.
In one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come.
Amen.
Priest: Have you joined Christ?
People: I have joined Him.
Priest: Then bow before Him and worship Him.
People: I bow down before the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; Trinity one in essence and
undivided.

Holy Trinity Parish Bylaws stipulate that Stewards must have fulfilled last year's Stewardship Commitment, as well as c o m p l e t e t h e c u r r e n t y e a r ' s Stewardship Commitment card and commenced donations by March 1 of each calendar year, in order to be eligible to vote at a General Assembly, run for the Parish Council, or vote in Parish elections.
Those with personal challenges regarding their 2017 Stewardship Commitment need to contact Father Bill before February 28, 2018.
Ingredients for the Icons
The recipe for paint for icons of the icons in Phase 1 and Phase 2 is egg yoke, white wine, and lavender oil. Dr Kordis has changed his approach for Phase 3, using acrylic and silicate for the paint. Since many of the icons will be within reach of people, he is using these materials, which are washable.
Iconography Phase 3
NEW Icons have been added! Those interested in donating an icon for Phase 3 are encouraged to review the updated list of available icons. The process is the same as Phase 2 -- "first come, first served". Please include the Code Number on the memo line of the check. If another means of donating the funds is used, the Code Number should be either written on paper or sent in an email to avoid any confusion. When full payment is received, the icon is then considered donated and thus not available to anyone else. A display of sketches for Phase 3 is in the Founders' Walk.
