Welcome visitors! If you are visiting with us for the first time, we greet you in the Holy Name of Christ, our Saviour, and hope you will join us in fellowship after worship. We are genuinely pleased to have you with us today. We must remind you that while the Orthodox Church prays for the unity of all, we do not practice “open Communion.” Only those Orthodox Christians who have prepared themselves with prayer, fasting, and regular confession should approach the chalice.

HYMNS ( AntiphonS )
RESURRECTIONAL (TONE 5)
HYMN
Let us believers praise and worship the Word; coeternal with the Father and the Spirit, born of the Virgin for our salvation. For, He took pleasure in ascending the Cross in the flesh to suffer death; and to raise the dead by His glorious Resurrection. HYMN OF SAINT JOHN THE EVANGELIST (TONE 2) O Apostle John, beloved of Christ our God, hasten to deliver a defenseless people. He that allowed thee to recline on His breast receiveth thee bowing in intercession. Implore Him, O Theologian, to dispel the persistent cloud of the heathen, and ask for us His peace and Great Mercy
HYMN OF ST. BASIL (TONE 1) In all the earth that received thy sayings, thy melody did resound, O righteous father, through which thou didst go about and proclaim, as worthy of God, the nature of creatures, cultivating the character of mankind, O thou of kingly Priesthood, Basil. Wherefore, plead thou with Christ God to save our souls. ORDINARY HYMN (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. 3
EPISTLE tHE
His voice has gone out into Savior of the world. Whoever all the earth. confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and The heavens declare the he in God. glory of God. And we have known and The Reading from the First believed the love which God Epistle of St. John. (4:12- has for us. God is love; and he 19) who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. Brethren, no one has ever seen God. If we love one In this is love perfected another, God abides in us, with us, that we may have and His love is perfected in boldness in the Day of us. Judgment; because as He is, even so are we in this world. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, There is no fear in love, but because He has given us of perfect love casts out fear, His Spirit. because fear has torment; but he who fears is not And we have seen, and do perfected in love. We love testify that the Father has God, because He first loved sent the Son to be the us. 4
GOSPEL THE
The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. John. (19:25-27; 21:2425) At that time, standing by the Cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing near, He said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your Son!” Then He said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!”
And from that hour the disciple took her to his own. This is the disciple who is bearing witness to these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his testimony is true. But there are also many other things, which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.
POST COMMUNION PRAYER O Master, Christ our God, King of all ages and Maker of all things, I thank Thee for all the good things which Thou hast given me and of partaking of Thine immaculate and life-giving Mysteries. Wherefore, I pray Thee, who art good and loves mankind, keep me under Thy protection and in the shadow of Thy wings, and grant me a pure conscience, even unto my last breath to partake of Thy Holy Gifts for unto Thee we ascribe glory and thanksgiving, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen. 5
