Hymns of the Day

Resurrectional Apolytikion in the Grave Tone

By the cross, O Lord, you destroyed death; to the thief you opened paradise. The myrrhbearers' sorrow you transformed into joy, and you sent your apostles forth to proclaim that you had risen from the dead, Christ our God, bestowing on all the world your great mercy.

Apolytikion for Afterfeast of the Holy Cross in the 1st Tone

Save, O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance. Give vict'ry to those who battle evil and protect us all by your holy cross.

Apolytikion for Martyr Eustathius and His Companions in the 4th Tone

Thy Martyrs, O Lord, in their courageous contest for Thee received as the prize the crowns of incorruption 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 for St. George in the 4th Tone

As the deliverer of captives, and the protector of the poor, a physician of the sick, the defender of kings, O Great Martyr Saint George Victorious; intercede to Christ our God, to save our souls.

Seasonal Kontakion in the 4th Tone

Bestow your mercies on the people called by your name, Christ God, who freely let yourself be raised on the cross. To all who battle evil give joy in your pow'r, by gracing them with vict'ry over ev'ry foe. For having you as their ally, they possess a weapon of peace, an invincible trophy of vict'ry.

Gospel and Epistle Readings

Epistle Reading

Sunday after Holy Cross
The Reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Galatians 2:16-20

Brethren, knowing that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no one be justified. But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we ourselves were found to be sinners, is Christ then an agent of sin? Certainly not! But if I build up again those things which I tore down, then I prove myself a transgressor. For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Gospel Reading

Sunday after Holy Cross
The Reading is from Mark 8:34-38; 9:1

The Lord said: "If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? For what can a man give in return for his life? For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power."

Hall Construction Updates

Thank you for your continued support of our Capital Project! Progress has been isolated to some interior demo in the lower-level, exterior canopy, and exterior siding as we are just finishing with revisions to some of the kitchen utilities. We plan to have approvals this week so that those alterations can commence and drywall to follow. This week the canopy will continue along with installation of our signage. Summit access is still being delayed due to the city of St. Paul processing the permit to pour the sidewalk. Please be aware that the Summit Ave entrance has been blocked off, which will require those parking on Summit to walk around the building to the parking lot entrance.

FOCUS Food Shelf Volunteers Needed

FOCUS runs a food shelf on the 3^rd and 5^th Saturdays of the month. Our parish, along with all the other Orthodox Parishes in town, have done a great job of keeping FOCUS supplied with non-perishable food items. THANK YOU!!! Would you like to also be a part of the Saturday morning distributions? Volunteers are needed 9:30 am to noon. Having adequate numbers of volunteers keeps the event running efficiently so that we don’t have to turn away any hungry people.

You would be joining a great team, meeting the recipients face-to-face, and would have the satisfaction of spending a few hours on a Saturday morning helping our neighbors feed their families. If you have any questions, please contact Ann Woods at [email protected]. You can sign up by scanning the QR below:

Wisdom of the Fathers

The key to knowledge is the humility of Christ. The door of the Kingdom of Heaven is open, not to those who only know in their learned minds the mysteries of faith and the commandments of their Creator, but to those who have progressed far enough to live by them.

St. Bede the Venerable

Unknown, 8th century

To deny oneself means to give up one's bad habits; to root out of the heart all that ties us to the world; not to cherish bad thoughts and desires; to suppress every evil thought; to avoid occasions of sin; not to desire or to do anything out of self-love, but to do everything out of love for God. To deny oneself, according to St. Paul means "to be dead to sin. . . but alive to God."

St. Innocent of Alaska

The Lenten Spring, SVS Press, p. 147, 19th Century

Welcome Visitors!

Thank you for joining us in worship. Whether you are an Orthodox Christian or this is your first visit to an Orthodox Church, we are pleased to have you with us! Although Holy Communion is offered only to baptized and chrismated Orthodox Christians, all are invited to receive the Antidoron (blessed bread) at the end of the service. The Antidoron and fellowship hour are reminiscent of the Agape Feast that followed worship in the early Church.

Visitors and inquirers, please do not worry if you do not understand or follow all of our practices at your first few visits to our church (when to stand, when to kneel, venerate icons, or the priest's hand, cross yourself, etc.), it takes time to learn these traditions. Watch what others do, and when you are ready, you can follow their example.

One does not have to be of Greek descent nor speak Greek to be an Orthodox Christian and member of our parish. All people of any background are welcome to join the Orthodox Church. For those interested in learning more about the Christian Faith or becoming a member of our church, please see Fr. Perry after services or contact him at [email protected] or (651) 222-6220.

We hope you will join us in our hall upstairs this morning after services for fellowship and refreshments!

______________________

Becoming an Orthodox Christian

For those interested in becoming an Orthodox Christian, here is the basic process: 1. Come to Divine Liturgy, 2. Complete our MEOCCA Catechism Program in the spring or the fall (register by emailing [email protected] or visit this link https://meocca.org/our-faith/cooperative-catechism), 3. Meet with Fr. Perry (schedule a meeting at this link https://calendly.com/frperry/). Fr. Perry will go through more specific details when you meet. We hope that you will make St. George your spiritual home.

______________________

Orthodox Worship

To our beloved guests, welcome to St. George. As you visit an Orthodox Church for the first few times, it’s important to remember that Orthodox Worship Services were designed to challenge us. For example, the services may be longer and at a slower pace than we are used to. The length of the service helps us grow in wakefulness and vigilance. "Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, 'What? Could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak'” Matthew 26:40-41.

In our ever-changing, fast-paced world, we struggle to maintain the attention span of a goldfish. The worship of the early Church is the remedy to this problem. The Divine Liturgy and our other worship services are an invitation to turn off the noise, slow down the pace, and, like Mary (the sister of Martha), sit at the feet of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If you struggle with your attention span in the first few services (or for years!), stick with it. Through our continued effort, God grants us growth in the ability to experience quiet, stillness, and prayer. Through our endurance, and above all, by His Grace, our regular participation in worship helps us to “lay aside the cares of life that we may receive the King of all."

Standing & Sitting in Services

The tradition of the Church is to stand for the duration of services, and you are welcome to do so. You are welcome to sit when you need to, as well. Please note that directions regarding when to sit are suggestions. Please be seated during the homily (sermon), and please do the best that you can to stand during the reading of the Gospel and the distribution of Holy Communion.

Saints and Feasts

September 20

Eustathius the Great Martyr, his wife and two children

The holy Martyr Eustathius before his baptism was an illustrious Roman general named Placidas in the days of the Emperor Trajan. While hunting in the country one day, he was converted to the Faith of Christ through the apparition of an uncommonly majestic stag, between whose antlers he saw the Cross of Christ, and through which the Lord spoke to him with a human voice. Upon returning home, he learned that his wife Tatiana had also had a vision in which she was instructed to become a Christian. They sought out the Bishop of the Christians and were baptized, Placidas receiving the name Eustathius, and Tatiana the name Theopiste; their two sons were baptized Agapius and Theopistus. The family was then subjected to such trials as Job endured. Their servants died, all their goods were stolen, and on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem they were scattered abroad, each not even knowing if the others were still alive. By the providence of God, they were united again after many years, and returned to Rome in glory. Nevertheless, when they refused to sacrifice to the idols-a public sacrifice from which no Roman general could be absent-the Emperor Hadrian, who had succeeded Trajan, had them put into a large bronze device in the shape of a bull, which was heated with fire until they died. When their holy bodies were removed, they were found to be without harm. They suffered martyrdom about the year 126.

September 21

Jonah the Prophet

The Prophet Jonah, the son of Amathi, of the town of Geth-hopher (IV Kings 14:25), was of the tribe of Zabulon; he prophesied during the years 838-810 before Christ. God commanded him to go to Nineveh, the great city of the Assyrians, and to proclaim that its destruction was nigh at hand because of the sins of its people. But he, as a Prophet who knew the great compassion of God, feared that at his preaching the Ninevites would repent; that God, accepting their repentance in His love for man, would not fulfill Jonah' threats; and that he would be branded a false prophet. So he disobeyed the divine command, and boarded a ship and departed elsewhere. Yet, the sudden and fearful sea-storm and the revelation of Jonah' disbedience caused the sailors to cast him into the sea. A great sea-monster appeared straightway by divine providence, and swallowed him up. For three days and nights he was found in its belly and he prayed, saying the words, "I cried aloud in my affliction unto the Lord my God..." (Jonah 2:3, the Sixth ode of the Holy Psalter). The sea-monster then vomited him up on dry land and he again heard God's command. Wherefore, he went and preached, saying, "In three days, Nineveh shall be destroyed." The people became terrified and all repented. The great, the small, babes at the breast, and even the irrational beasts themselves fasted, and thus, having found mercy from God, they were spared His wrath. Jonah' book of prophecy is divided into four chapters, and is placed fifth in order among the twelve minor Prophets. His three-day sojourn in the sea-monster's belly is an image of our Saviour's three-day burial and His life-bringing Resurrection (Matt. 12:39-40). His name means "dove."

September 24

Thekla the Protomartyr & Equal-to-the-Apostles

This saint was from the city of Iconium. When she was eighteen years of age, she was instructed in the Faith of Christ and the hope of the resurrection by the Apostle Paul, whom also she followed, forsaking her betrothed and espousing a life of virginity for the sake of the Heavenly Bridegroom. Having preached Christ in various cities and suffered many things, she reposed in Seleucia of Cilicia at the age of 90.

Communiqué of the Holy Eparchial Synod, 12 September 2026

09/12/2026

Today, September 12, His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America presided over the regular Fall session of the Holy Eparchial Synod, at the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Boston.

At the beginning of the session, the Archbishop welcomed the members of the Holy Eparchial Synod, extended his wishes for a fruitful and healthy new Ecclesiastical Year, and expressed his joy over the progress of the Theological School.

The Holy Eparchial Synod then addressed the items on its agenda and, among other matters:

Commended the initiative of His Eminence Metropolitan Savas of Pittsburgh to communicate to the clergy of his Holy Metropolis the decision of the Holy Eparchial Synod concerning the criteria for the selection of prospective seminarians for Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology. It subsequently resolved that the National Chancellor, through the local Chancellors, direct the Presiding Priests of the Parishes that they encourage prospective seminarians who meet the criteria set forth by the Holy Eparchial Synod.
On the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the election of His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, resolved to fund an academic chair in the Department of Pastoral and Social Theology of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, to be named “Patriarch Bartholomew – Law and Theology.”
Resolved that the teaching of the Greek language, and especially of liturgical texts, at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology be conducted in cooperation with Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and that the appropriate proposals be submitted to the administration of the School.
Resolved to organize commemorative events marking the 90th anniversary of the founding of Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in 2027, and appointed His Eminence Metropolitan Nathanael of Chicago as Chair of the Organizing Committee.
Resolved that the Holy Metropolis of Chicago will host the 50th Clergy-Laity Congress in 2030.
Proceeded with the formation of the three-person slate (triprosopon) for the filling of the vacant Holy Metropolis of New Jersey. Following a secret ballot, based upon the list of the clergy eligible for election to the episcopacy, recently approved by the Ecumenical Patriarchate, as stipulated by Article 14 of the current Charter of the Archdiocese, the following received five votes each:
1. His Grace Bishop Athenagoras of Nazianzos,
2. His Grace Bishop Anthony of Synada, and
3. Very Rev. Archimandrite Bartholomew Mercado.

The three-person slate was submitted today, by means of a corresponding letter from the Archbishop, to His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and the Holy and Sacred Synod, with the request that, on the basis thereof, the election of the new Metropolitan take place.

At the conclusion of the session, the Archbishop and the Synodal Hierarchs exchanged heartfelt wishes with regard to the celebration of the 35th anniversary of the Ecumenical Patriarch’s enthronement upon the Throne of the Venerable Center of Orthodoxy. For this purpose, the Sacred Archdiocese is organizing a pilgrimage to the Phanar from October 19–25, in cooperation with the Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the Order of Saint Andrew the Apostle.
