Resurrectional Apolytikion Third Tone
Let all things above in heav'n rejoice, and let all things below on earth be glad. With all the might and strength of His arm an eternal deed the Lord did perform. Beneath His feet He has trampled down death by death, and first born of the dead has He become. From the womb of Hades has He delivered us, and to all the world has granted His great redeeming mercy.

Apolytikion of the Church
Troparion of our Church: Tone 7
Thou wast transfigured on the mountain, O Christ our God, showing to Thy disciples Thy glory as each one could endure. Shine forth Thou on us, who are sinners all, Thy light ever-unending, through the prayers of the Theotokos. Light-bestower, glory be to Thee.

Troparion of St. Herman: Tone 4
O Blessed Father Herman of Alaska, North Star of Christ's Holy Church, the light of your holy life and great deeds, guides those who follow the Orthodox way. Together we lift high the Holy Cross you planted firmly in America. Let all behold and glorify Jesus Christ, singing His Holy Resurrection.

Hasten to intercede and speed now to supplicate, as a protection for all time; Theotokos for those who honor you.

For if we, going about on the earth which is familiar and well known to us, being encompassed with a body, when we ...Read Full Text >

Sunday Epistle
+Fr. Leo Schefe, 10/25/2009
There has been some interest among us to have some of our youth read the Sunday Epistle. I support this interest. I don`t want to limit the opportunity to just the youth however. Therefore, I encourage anyone who wants to read the Sunday Epistle, to contact me and we can talk about it. I can send the text to anyone before any given Sunday. 720-1957
