2 Third Sunday of Lent: Adoration of the Holy Cross The third Sunday of Lent marks the middle of the Lenten Season. During the early days of the Christian Church, this forty-day Lenten period was the most solemn period of the church year. All Christians maintained a strict fast. Meat, oil and dairy products were strictly forbidden. It was a period of fasting and prayer. Bible reading was accentuated and every Orthodox Christian performed good works of Christian charity. Many attended religious retreats at nearby monasteries and monastic communities. This forty-day period soon became known as a period of self-denial, self-sacrifice and repentance. Christians prepared themselves to suffer the agony undergone by our Saviour as he was tempted by the devil in the desert and as he suffered and died upon the Cross of salvation. Since this very same Cross has been the symbol of victory of good over evil, life over death and eternal life over extinction, the Fathers of the Church saw fit to observe the third Sunday of Lent (the half-way mark in Lent) as Adoration Sunday of the Holy Cross of Jesus Christ. By pausing during this Holy period of fasting, we receive courage and reassurance of God s continued grace by viewing the Cross of Christ. The service is similar to the feast day celebration of the Church. During today s service, the Cross is carried aloft by the Priest and flowers are distributed after the procession. This is symbolical of the beauty of the Resurrection of our Blessed Lord, which we await to celebrate with great anticipation. During ancient times in many far away lands the warring Kings, after winning victory on the fields of battle, would invariably dispatch a messenger back to the capital of the country in great haste to inform the people of the great victory and also of the coming triumphant return of the victorious King to the city. In so doing, the people were given the opportunity to prepare a giant celebration and reception for their leader. In the same way the Church, during the Service of the Adoration of the Holy Cross, has brought forward the Cross of Jesus Christ to remind us of the coming victory of Jesus Christ over death and evil. We are given reassurance of the greatest battle and the most significant victory in all human history the victory of Jesus Christ over death. The Easter hymn tells us of this victory: Christ has risen from the dead, by death trampling upon death and bestowing life to those in the tombs. This is the message, which the mother Church wishes to convey today. The cross of Jesus Christ has been our symbol of victory for 2000 years. Never lose sight of this it is ours to share if we but take up arms against the forces of evil that surround us in a materialistic world and labor side by side for a better today and a finer tomorrow for all mankind.

11 SAINT JOHN GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH STERLING HEIGHTS MI 2018 STEWARDSHIP PLEDGE CARD What is Stewardship? Stewardship is the management of the gifts bestowed upon us by God. These gifts are time, talent and treasure. It is through these gifts that bring us closer together as a Church and as a community. What is a Steward? A steward is a member of our St. John community that volunteers their time, talent and treasure. How can I volunteer my time and talent? Our St. John community offers many ministries. We encourage everyone to join and participate in a ministry. How much treasure should I give? This is a personal decision. Every year we should look at our finances and determine how much we should give back to God. These funds are used for the daily operation of the church and for funding our ministries. The economic reality is that our church requires $1,260 per day ($460,000 annually) to operate and we are currently a parish of almost 300 Stewards. To meet our current budget each year we need to average at least $1,560 per Steward annually or $30 per week STEWARDSHIP PLEDGE CARD Name: Spouse Name: Orthodox Christian: Y or N Orthodox Christian: Y or N Date of birth: Date of birth: Home Phone: Home Phone: Cell Phone: Cell Phone: Address: Address: City, State, Zip: City, State, Zip: Child 1: Orthodox Christian: Y or N Cell: DOB: Child 2: Orthodox Christian: Y or N Cell: DOB: Child 3: Orthodox Christian: Y or N Cell: DOB: Child 4: Orthodox Christian: Y or N Cell: DOB: Child 5: Orthodox Christian: Y or N Cell: DOB: IN GRATITUDE FOR GOD S BLESSINGS, I/WE COMMIT TO CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH THE FOLLOWING AMOUNT: $30/week($1,560 yearly) $25/week($1,300 yearly) $20/week(1,040 yearly) /week or /month or /year Credit Card (Visa/Master Card): exp: code: Name: Signature: Date: Visit to register as a Steward or turn this form into our church office Stewards who submitted addresses will receive a link to a Stewardship Update Form which can be completed online for 2018.

14 Godparents sunday March 18, 2018 The godparent at a baptism is recorded as early as the year 200 by Tertullian in his book De Paptismo. St. John Chrysostom mentions godparents in his book On the Psalms. In the early church, adults, primarily, were baptized. Godparents were chosen for each person. They were nearly always of the same sex of the person to be baptized. Their role was to assure the Church of the moral character of the candidate, to assist at the baptism itself, and to watch over his or her growth in the faith. By the 6th century, the practice of infant baptism became dominant. Together, with their previous duties, the godparents assumed the responsibility to guide the newly baptized child in the faith. Together with the parents, the godparent is responsible for the spiritual and moral growth of the child. In the East, the godparent is known as Anadohos which literally means one who takes responsibility for another which shows both the role and the significance of the godparent. According to the teaching of the Church,the following cannot be godparents: the parents of the person being baptized, the spouse, non-christian, non-orthodox, Orthodox who have been denied the right to receive Holy Communion, for whatever reason; the clergy of all ranks (with exceptions, if necessity requires it), those who live a scandalous immoral life, persons not fully conscious of the meaning and function of the role of godparent, such as infants and little children. All other Orthodox Christians, men, women, young and old, may assume this important task in the Church s life. In the early Western Church, the term Godparent (godmother or godfather) was used to indicate the spiritual parenthood of the anadohos. When you become a child s Godparent, you become the spiritual and religious mentor and guide of your godchild, for the duration of both of your lives. The sponsor is a very important person in the baptismal service and in the life of the baptized Christian. In the early Church the majority of persons entering the Church were adults. This meant that they were able to make their own profession of faith, to reject evil and sin, and personally commit themselves to Christ. In infant baptism, which otherwise has much to commend it, this is not possible. The parents make the decision to baptize their child, thus bringing the child into the life of redemption. It is the godparent, however, who rejects the devil, accepts Christ, and who makes the profession of faith on behalf of the child. It is a mistake for godparents to think of their role as merely a social one. It is primarily religious and spiritual. The task of the godparent does not consist simply in buying a cross and some new clothing, and participating in the service of baptism (saying words mentioned above), anointing the child with oil, receiving the child from the font, processing around the font, bringing the child to its first Holy Communion. All these things are merely the beginning of the responsibilities of the sponsor. For with these acts, the sponsor assumes a lifelong commitment to care for the spiritual aspects of the life of his or her godchild. This means several things. First to see it together with the parents that the child is taught the necessary things for the living of the Christian life. This includes attendance at church, religious education classes, and most importantly frequent participation in the sacrament of Holy Communion. Godparents should also have close personal ties with their godchildren. They should visit with them regularly, in person, by letter, or on the phone. They should remember their godchildren on their name days, birthdays and other holidays. All this should be accompanied by loving counsel and concern in reference to the various stages of their lives, with a view to the Christian formation of the godchild. In later years, during the teens, a godparent who has done these things during childhood years, may prove to be the only one who can influence a young person during those trying and difficult times. Finally, the godparent should include his or her godchild in daily prayers.
