Entrance)
Apolytikion
O Merciful One, You came from on
high, and condescended to Your
three day burial to save us from suf-
fering. You are our Life and our
Resurrection. Glory to You.
Apolytikion In the ways partaker, and of the thrones
inheritor, of the Apostles having become,
you put in action, O God-inspired one,
what you taught in theory; wherefore, by
teaching aright the word of truth, unto
blood for the faith you bravely fourhgt, O
Clergy-martyr Eleftherios. Intercede with
Christ our God, for the salvation of our
souls.
Apolytikion for St. Vasilios
Your message was carried throughout
the world . As it received your mighty
word, By which you divinely made
manifest And clarified the nature of
existing things You set in order the
customs of men, You who are royal
priesthood! Holy Father, intercede with
Christ our God To grant us His great
mercy.
Kontakion O Protection of Christians that cannot
be put to shame, mediation unto the
creator most constant: O despise 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: Has-
ten to intercession and speed thou to
make supplication, O thou who dost
ever protect, O Theotokos, them that
honor thee.

Prokeimenon. Mode Plagal 4.
Psalm 75.11,1
Make your vows to the Lord our God and perform them.
Verse: God is known in Judah; his name is great in Israel.
St. Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians 6:16-18; 7:1
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
sepa-
rate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I
will
welcome you, and I will be a father 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 perfect
in the
fear of God.

6th Sunday of Luke The Gospel of Luke 8:29-39
At that time, as Jesus arrived at the country of the
Gadarenes, there met him a man from the city who
had demons; for a long time he had worn no clothes
and he lived not in a house but among the tombs.
When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before
him, and said with a loud voice, "What have you to do
with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech
you, do not torment me." For he had commanded the
unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a
time it had seized him; he was kept under guard, and bound with
chains
and fetters, but he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon
into the
desert.) Jesus then asked him, "What is your name?" And he
said,
"Legion"; for many demons had entered him. And they begged him
not
to command them to depart into the abyss. Now a large herd of
swine
was feeding there on the hillside; and they begged him to let
them enter
these. So he gave them leave. Then the demons came out of the
man and
entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into
the lake
and were drowned. When the herdsmen saw what happened, they
fled,
and told it in the city and in the country. Then people went out
to see
what had happened, and they came to Jesus, and found the man
from
whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed
and in his
right mind; and they were afraid. And those who had seen it told
them
how he who had been possessed with demons was healed. Then all
the
people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to
depart
from them; for they were seized with great fear; so he got into
the boat
and returned. The man from whom the demons had gone begged that
he
might be with him; but he sent him away, saying, "Return to your
home,
and declare how much God has done for you." And he went away,
pro-
claiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for
him.

PLEASE PRAY FOR: Anna, Charles, Serena, James, James, Diane,
Harriet. If you wish to add or remove a name from the list,
please call
the Church Office. CEMETERY VISITS: Due to the number of
sacraments, 40 day blessings
and memorials on Sundays it is difficult to make cemetery visits
on Sundays
after liturgy. If you would like a Trisagion at the graveside
during the
week you are kindly asked to make an appointment by calling the
church
office.
WELCOME TO OUR VISITORS!
Everyone is welcome in the Orthodox Church and may receive the
blessed
bread (antidoron) at the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy.
Sadly, the divisions
in the church prompt us all to work towards reunited
Christianity. The culmina-
tion of this reunion will be the ability of all Christians to
receive the Eucharist
together. Until that blessed day arrives, Orthodox Christians
who are in good
sacramental order are only permitted to receive Holy Communion
in the Ortho-
dox Church. If you have any questions or concerns please speak
with Father
Chris.
HOSPITAL VISITS
Salem Hospital is making a change in order to be in compliance
with new pri-
vacy laws. This change will mean that we will no longer receive
the list of
Orthodox patients in the hospital. So, if you or a loved one
will be in the hos-
pital please call the church office so that we can pay you a
pastoral visit. This
change will also affect Beverly Hospital as well. Also, families
of people in
nursing home please call the church office so that their names
will be included
on the list of residents.
MEMORIALS: We commemorate today the blessed memory of the
follow-
ing Members of our parish who have fallen asleep in the
Lord:
5 yr Stefanie Perakis
5 yr John Fillos
PTA COFFEE HOUR: Please join us for coffee hour today
immedi-
ately following the first Divine Liturgy in the educational
center. To-
day's coffee hour is fully sponsored by the Veloukas family in
loving
memory of mother Anna and sister Lola.
