We are truly blessed here in the St. George community to have so many generous members. Whether you are contributing your time,

talents or hard-earned money, we always find a way to meet or exceed our goals. These efforts and dollars lead to expanded ministry and

continued growth of our community and the positive impact we make outside our community. Previously, we heard about the great success

of this year’s festival while The Legacy Ballroom continues to thrive and contribute to the financial obligations of St. George. Our annual

Stewardship is the main factor in contributing toward the financial well-being of our community. As was reported on Sunday, October

20th we have fallen behind in our 2019 Stewardship Goals and need to make a push over the last months of the year to catch up. Below is

the list of Members in Good Standing. If your name does not appear on this list that means: a) we have not received a 2019 pledge from

you, b) you are not current on giving or c) you have not paid your archdiocese dues for 2019 yet. If you have completed these requirements

and your name does not appear on the list below, our apologies. Please let me know so we can correct and update our records accordingly.

RESURRECTIONAL APOLYTIKION (TONE 3)Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad, for the Lord hath done a mighty act

with His own arm. He hath trampled down death by death, and become the first-born from the dead. He hath delivered us from the depths of

Hades, granting the world the Great Mercy.

APOLYTIKION OF THE PERSIAN MARTYRS (TONE 4)Thy Martyrs, O Lord, in their courageous contest for Thee received as the prize the crowns of in-

corruption and life from Thee, our immortal God. For since they possessed Thy strength, they cast down the tyrants and wholly destroyed the demons’ strengthless

presumption. O Christ God, by their prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful.

APOLYTIKION OF ST. GEORGE (TONE 4)As deliverer of captives and defender of the poor, healer of the infirm, champion of kings,

victorious Great Martyr George intercede with Christ our God for our souls’ salvation.

KONTAKION FOR ORDINARY SUNDAYS (TONE 2)O protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame,

mediation unto the Creator most constant, O despise not the suppliant voices of those who have sinned; but be thou quick,

O good one, to come unto our aid, who in faith cry unto thee: Hasten to intercession, and speed thou to make supplication,

thou who dost ever protect, O Theotokos, them that honor thee.

PROKEIMENON: Sing praises to our God, sing praises. Clap your hands, all ye peoples.

THE EPISTLEThe Reading from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Galatians. (1:11-19)Brethren, I would have you know that the Gospel which was preached by me is not man’sgospel. For I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ. For you have heard of my former life in Judaism, how I persecuted the Church of God violently and tried to destroy it; and I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own ageamong my people; so extremely zealous was I for the traditions of my fathers. But when He Who had set me apart before I was born, and had called me through His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son to me, in order that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not confer with flesh and blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were Apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned to Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and remained with him fifteen days. But I saw none of the other Apostles except James the Lord’s brother.

THE GOSPELThe Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke. (16:19-31)The Lord said, “There was a rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen and whofeasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, full of sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table; moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried; and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus in his bosom. And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.’ But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you in your lifetime re-ceived your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”
