Participation During Divine Liturgy We would love to have everyone participate in Divine Liturgy each week. Here are a few ways you can participate: Come in and read during the Orthros service (8:30 am) and learn to sing some of the hymns. Volunteer to read the Epistle (call or email Father George or the Church Office). Also, sing along! Our choir has begun singing the Doxology in English from the Green Divine Liturgy Hymnal-join in the singing (page 1 in Green Book). There is an insert of the hymns of the day. These hymns are chanted after the Small Entrance (page 9 in the Red Divine Liturgy Book) please join in and sing them. If you have any questions, please let Father George know. Remember, the Divine Liturgy is meant to be a work of the people-all participating. Thank you to our choir and to those who have been reading and chanting during the services.

Parish Assembly Next Sunday We will have our next Parish Assembly next Sunday after Divine Liturgy. Everyone should have received the agenda and other information in the newsletter mailing.

Missions Presentation on Thursday Evening We are happy to welcome Nathan Hoppe, OCMC missionary to Albania for the past 11 years to our community. He will be here to share his experiences in the mission field. Please take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about missions and support the Hoppe family. Refreshments will be served.

Stewardship 2010 Our 2010 Stewardship information was mailed out this past week. Please read through the letter and packet, then prayerfully consider how much of your time, talents, and resources you will offer back through Stewardship to our Church. Our goal is to have everyone turn their 2010 Stewardship Cards in on Sunday, November 29-the day we have set aside as Stewardship Sunday. On that day, bring your Stewardship Cards to Divine Liturgy, they will be collected at the end of the Liturgy. If you are unable to be here on that Sunday, you can mail them back to the Church Office. Thank you.

We have an email list for GOYA (and parents); and cell phone numbers for text messages. So look for GOYA emails and text messages from Christina Blooding; and if you know someone who is not getting the emails/text messages or coming around, invite them to join us.

Holy Communion Please allow our Sunday Church School Children and teachers to come forward to receive Holy Communion first, so they can go to class.

Also, here are a few things we ask all prepared Orthodox Christians to remember as you come to receive Holy Communion:

First, we should make it a habit to be in Divine Liturgy from the beginning, and stay until the end of the service!

Also, a few other reminders: While it is our hope and prayer that there will once again be ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHRISTIAN CHURCH, at this time, only Orthodox Christians who are prepared and present in Liturgy from the beginning (or at minimum before the Scriptural Readings and Homily) should approach to receive Holy Communion.

Women please remove lipstick before coming to receive Holy Communion, gum should not be chewed at anytime in church, when you approach the Chalice do so slowly and reverently-do not do your cross when you are 'first' in line, as the danger of bumping the chalice and spilling the Holy Communion is increased, also please refrain from doing your cross until after you move away from the chalice.

If you have ANY questions, please contact Father George. Thank You.

Welcome Visitors Welcome, and thank you for worshiping and praying with us today. Please join us downstairs after Divine Liturgy for a cup of coffee and some fellowship.
