From Sundays' Bulletin: PARISH HOUSE PROCESSION/THANKSGIVING TODAY

Two years ago this month, (already!) - we processed to the excavation site of the future Parish House and asked God's blessing upon the work. He heard our prayer! Without undue complications, accidents or liens, the house has passed inspection. There is still the basement rooms and office, and further landscaping, but, we are now officially in! So, as we began, we also conclude: A procession immediately after Liturgy, followed by the Service of Thanksgiving, followed by Open House and fellowship. The Official Blessing will be done by Bishop Stephen on Sunday, October 21, at 4 p.m., at which time all those who made this possible will be recognized and thanked. Praise God (and you!) for bringing the work to a successful end.

Два роки тому -- ми просили Боже благословення на початок будови приходства -- і Бог вислухав нас! Приходство стоїть! Ще є до викінчення пивниця і довколо хати, але, стоїть! Офіціяльне Благословення від- служить Владика Стефан 21-го жовтня, о год. 4-ій пополудні, але нині, ми як парафія, складаємо Богу подяку. Процесія після Літургії, Благодарна Молитва і відкритий дім. Просимо всіх!

The Lord is God and has appeared to us, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good and His mercy endures forever.
They surrounded me, they encircled me, but in the Lord's Name I overcome them.
No, I will not die, I will live, and declare the works of the Lord.
The stone rejected by the builders has become the cornerstone, this is the Lord's doing, a marvel in our eyes!

Tropar of Thanksgiving (Tone 4): We, Your unworthy servants, O Lord, grateful for the many benefits You have bestowed upon us glorifying You do praise, bless, give thanks, sing and magnify Your loving kindness and with love, we cry aloud to You in humble submissiveness, O our Benefactor and our Saviour, glory to You.

Prokimen Tone 4 - Responsorial Psalm: I will sing to the Lord, for He has been good to me. I will praise the name of the Lord most high!
verse: My heart rejoices in your salvation!

Apostol Ephesians 5: 9-21

Alleluia - Tone 4: I will praise the name of the Lord my God in song. I will magnify Him in praise.
For the Lord has paid heed to the humble, He has not turned away from their needs.

Gospel Luke 17: 12-19
