MARTHA'S CUPBOARD (NEW SUNDAY SCHOOL OUTREACH PROGRAM)

Saint Haralambos Sunday School is excited to announce the initiation of a food pantry. The purpose

and goal of this pantry is to collect and supply food items to those less fortunate throughout the year.

We wish to make this a community project to include participation from all our parishioners. How can you

help? By bringing nonperishable food items to church each Sunday so that we may begin stocking our pantry.

Items may be dropped off in the pantry (across from the bridal room) or the Sunday School office.

This will be an ongoing, continuous outreach program. In order for it to succeed, we need help and support from our entire community. We accept and would be grateful for monetary donations to get this valuable

outreach program up and running.

Thank you for your support and God bless.

TODAY IS NATIONAL CHURCH MUSIC SUNDAY!

We designate the Feast Day of St. Romanos the

Melodist as National Church Music Sunday. On this day, we honor our priest,

our chanters and our outstanding choirs and we

thank them for their many years of dedicated

service to our St. Haralambos parish.

Please join us for cake and coffee in the Tri-Room

following church services.

THE ST. HARALAMBOS SUNDAY SCHOOL

THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE IS NOW IN PROGRESS!

Please bring non-perishable food items each week (Oct.1 thru Nov.19th) for those less fortunate.

Items may be delivered to your childs classroom or the Sunday School office.

Of the Church As a pillar unshaken of Christs holy Church, and lamp ever-burning to all the

world you emerged, O wise Haralambos; in all the world you shined, with the

martyrdom you suffered, you dispelled the dark night, of the idols, O blessed;

whence, with courage do intercede, to Christ that we may be saved.

Kontakion for the Theotokos. Mode 2.

O protection of Christians unashamable, mediation to the Creator immovable,

Despise not, the pleading voices of those in sin, but hasten O good one, to the

help of all of us, who in faith cry out to you: Speed up your intercessions, and

press on your supplication, O Theotokos who always protect, all those who

honor you.

. . , ,

. , .

Mode pl. 4. You descended from on high, O compassionate One, and condescended to be buried

for three days, so that from the passions You might set us free. Our life and resurrec-

tion, O Lord, glory be to You.

. . , , ,

.

For the Apostle. Mode 3. O holy Apostle Ananias, make intercession to our merciful God, that He grant our

souls forgiveness of offenses.

. . . ' ,

, , .

For the Devout Man. Mode pl. 4. In you, O Father, is preserved undistorted what was made in the image of God; for

taking up the cross, you followed Christ and by example taught, that we should over-

look the flesh, since it passes away, and instead look after the soul, since it is immor-

tal. And therefore, O devout Romanos, your spirit rejoices with the angels.

The Gospel According to St. Luke Chapter 6:31-36

Brethren, you are the temple of the living

God; as God said, "I will live in them and

move among them, and I will be their God,

and they shall be my people. Therefore come

out from them, and be separate from them,

says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean;

then I will welcome you, and I will be a fa-

ther to you, and you shall be my sons and

daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

Since we have these promises, beloved, let

us cleanse ourselves from every defilement

of body and spirit, and make holiness per-

fect in the fear of God.

The Lord said, "As you wish that men would

do to you, do so to them. If you love those

who love you, what credit is that to you? For

even sinners love those who love them. And

if you do good to those who do good to you,

what credit is that to you? For even sinners

do the same. And if you lend to those from

whom you hope to rece
