Annual Business Meeting is Scheduled for November 12th: The business meeting begins at the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy. All who attend All Saints are encouraged to attend. Updates on all activities of the parish, including the recent construction, are presented either in booklet form or presentation. Parish Council election also occurs with only those on the membership role, eighteen and older, being eligible to vote. A pitch-in meal follows.
Coffee Hour: Scheduled contributors this Sunday are those whose last names start with A-Ba; however, you may contribute whenever you find it convenient.
Food Pantry: Yes, it is nearly empty again. Please contribute as you are able so that no one who needs food suffers from hunger.
Thanksgiving Feast Coordinator: Charles will again coordinate the meal. He has placed sign-up sheets on the hall bulletin board both for those planning to attend and for menu donations.
Receiving the Eucharist: We invite you to receive the Holy Eucharist if you are an Orthodox Christian who has prepared yourself through fasting, prayer, and recent confession. If you are not Orthodox, or are Orthodox but have not prepared, we invite you to receive a piece of the blessed bread in the wooden bowls held by the altar servers at the front of the church.
Sooner than we can imagine, the Giving Tree will be ready to accept gift cards
to spread joy to those who could use a financial boost at Christmas.

Today’s Epistle and Gospel Readings
Prokeimenon: “Thou, O Lord, shalt preserve us and keep us from this generation.”
Verse: “Save me, O Lord, for the godly man hath disappeared.” – Psalm 11:7,1
Epistle: The Reading is from St. Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians. (6:11-18)
Brethren, see with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that would compel you to be circumcised and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. For even those who receive circumcision do not themselves keep the Law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in your flesh. But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me and I to the world. For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. Peace and mercy be upon all, who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God. Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
Gospel: The Reading is from the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke. (16:19-31)
The Lord said, “There was a rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, full of sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table; moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores. The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried; and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus in his bosom. And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.’ But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”
Divine Liturgy Variables
Resurrectional Apolytikion – Tone 5
Let us believers praise and worship the Word; co-eternal 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.
