2 Fasting Guidelines for Great Lent and Holy Week Prayer and Almsgiving We will offer additional prayer services during Great Lent. In addition, we should look for opportunities to help those in need during this holy season. Judging Others While we should always avoid judging others, we are especially careful not to judge during Great Lent. Most especially, we should remember that due to health or other concerns some people have been blessed to follow a diet less strict than outlined below. We remember it is not our place to judge another s servant (Romans 14:4), and the kingdom of heaven is not about food and drink (1 Corinthians 6:13, 8:8, and 10:30; Colossians 2:16-17; Hebrews 9:10). Our only concern during the fast is improving our own spiritual life and relieving those who are poor or needy (Isaiah 58:3-12). Traditional Dietary Restrictions Surrounding Great Lent Week after the Sunday of the Publican and Pharisee (Feb ): No Fasting. Week after the Sunday of the Prodigal Son (Feb ): Regular Wed./Fri. Fast Week after Judgment Sunday/Meatfare Sunday (Feb. 28 Mar. 6): No meat, but fish and dairy products allowed on all days, including Wed. and Fri. Great Lent begins on March 7, the Monday after Forgiveness Sunday/Cheesefare Sunday, with the following guidelines throughout Great Lent and Holy Week: Meat ~ Abstain from all meat including beef, chicken, lamb, pork, veal, buffalo, etc. Dairy ~ Abstain from all dairy including milk, cheese, butter, eggs, yogurt, cream, etc. Fish ~ Abstain from any fish with a backbone. This does not include shellfish. Wine and Oil ~ Permitted on March 6-8 (5th Week of Lent with longer services) and all Saturdays and Sundays (though no oil is permitted on Great and Holy Saturday) Fish, Wine and Oil ~ Permitted on March 25 (Annunciation) and April 17 (Palm Sunday) Total Fasting ~ Complete abstinence from all food and drink is kept by those capable on Great and Holy Friday (April 22) and on the first two days of Great Lent (March 7 8)
3 Beloved in Christ, This coming month is an interesting month in the life of the Orthodox Church. For most of November and December we focused on Christmas. Throughout most of January we have been busy with New Year s, Theophany, starting back to school, and everything else that comes with the first of the year. In early March, we will begin focusing on our most holy season of Great Lent, Holy Week, and Pascha. February is, thus, an interesting month for us as Orthodox Christians. It is sandwiched between two of the busiest and most active seasons of our year. It is easy for us to overlook. Fortunately, our Church helps move us from the season of feasting and busy-ness throughout most of January into a period of strict fasting and prayer in March and April. This year, that season of preparation just happens to cover most of February. At Great Vespers on Saturday evening, February 12, we open the book of the Triodion, which is used throughout Great Lent and Holy Week. The first service in that book is for the Sunday of the Publican and Pharisee. From the Scripture readings and hymns, we learn that no amount of fasting or good works earns us the kingdom of heaven. The kingdom is a gift given to us by the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ. The Church prescribes a period of no fasting for the entire week following this Sunday of the Publican and Pharisee, confirming the Scriptural view of fasting: fasting is a good and beneficial discipline, but it does not make us worthy of God, as the Pharisee believed. The following week, February 21-27, we slowly begin to work into the Lenten fasting discipline, returning to the Wednesday/Friday fasting. Sunday the 27 th is Meatfare Sunday, where we say good-bye to meat products until Great and Holy Pascha. The week following that Sunday, February 28-March 6, we abstain from meat products throughout the entire week. However, dairy products are still allowed. Once again, the Church is easing us into the full Lenten fast after our recent season of feasting. On the final Sunday before Lent, we say good-bye to dairy products. On that next day, Clean or Pure Monday, we begin our full Lenten fast. But more importantly, on that final Sunday before Lent, the Church offers the greatest opportunity we have to prepare for Lent and Pascha. On that Sunday we hear from the Gospel that God will only forgive us if we forgive others. That evening, the final night before Lent, we gather as the Church for Forgiveness Vespers. At the conclusion of Vespers, and in final preparation for Great Lent, we line up and greet each person in attendance. We ask them to forgive us, knowing that our general sinfulness affects everyone in the community even those against whom we do not sin directly. And we, in turn, forgive them, proclaiming God s forgiveness and mercy to all. I look forward to journeying through Lent with all of you, and I pray that you will allow the Church s cycle of services and fasts to penetrate your lives in preparation for that greatest event in human history: the Death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Fr. Aaron

Mediterranean Festival 2011 April 30 ~ May 1 It s that time of the year to prepare for the Annual Mediterranean Festival. This is the major fundraiser that we have for the church so we need all of your help. We are a small church with limited funds to keep our church operating. This is a job for the entire parish to keep our church thriving. We are doing this for the glory of God. This is a huge undertaking and we need everyone to be committed to its success. Last year was a huge success and we know that this year can be even better. We will have a schedule of the cooking dates out very soon. Mark your calendar for February 13 to core, steam and trim the cabbage immediately following church. Watch for the Mediterranean Festival Flyer and Order Form in the next issue of The Scroll. Yours in Christ, Ro Kallail & Tracy Namee

St. Mary was represented in the Delano District Christmas Parade on December 5, 2010, by the teens carrying the banner they made. On January 8, the teens met at the Wichita Ice Center for a fun time of ice skating. After a stop at Quik Trip, we returned to St. Mary to discuss upcoming events, eat snacks, and play a game. On January 25, the teens once again had an opportunity to volunteer at the DUI Victim Center of Kansas. We helped check in participants who attended a court ordered panel discussion. Our next meeting will be Saturday, February 5, beginning at Laser Quest. On February 13 after the Divine Liturgy, the teens will hold a Valentine's Day Bake Sale. Last but not least, our lock-in is scheduled for February February is going to be a busy month for the teens of St. Mary! Looking ahead, our March meeting is scheduled for March 5.

8 From the Ministry Teams 20/40 Fellowship St. Mary's 20/40 Fellowship is enjoying its first year of meetings. We have met at our members' residences for food and conversations on recent saints or feast days. We meet every other month and during the fasting periods of the Church, we participate in service projects. This past Nativity Fast, we painted bathrooms, sorted infant formula, and folded clothes for the Treehouse. During the coming Great Fast, we would like to offer a service of yard cleaning and/or other housework to those in the parish who are unable to do it themselves. We will have a sign-up sheet during coffee hour on Sunday. Please have in mind what you would like done and let me know if you own the tools we would need to accomplish what you would like done. The dates available for this work will probably be Saturdays in March or April. Please have in mind what dates you would prefer the work to be done. The next meeting is on Tuesday, February 8, at 6:30 p.m. at St. Mary's. To find out more information, please see the Facebook group page (search for St. Mary Orthodox Church 20/40 Fellowship). ~Lori Oller, Sponsor DILLON'S CERTIFICATES Remember To Buy Dillon's Certificates Sundays After Liturgy! It s an easy & effective way to benefit our parish with a minimum of effort. Works just like cash at the register. Certificates available in $10 and $25 denominations. It s SO EASY You get a 4% discount on everything you purchase. Our parish gets those savings. You can purchase.groceries, Medicine, Chocolate, Gasoline. Dillon's will give you change back! An average fuel or grocery purchase today exceeds $25. Dillon's certificates from St. Mary ease the pain because that $25 contributes $1.00 to our parish. Using $250 of Certificates monthly (fuel & groceries) generates $120 yearly for St. Mary parish. The Dillon Certificates table is just inside the parish hall every Sunday following Liturgy.
