2 Epistle Reading: Acts of the Apostles 2:1-11 Prokeimenon. Mode Plagal 4. Psalm 18.4,1 Their voice has gone out into all the earth. Verse: The heavens declare the glory of God. When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. And they were amazed and wondered, saying, Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontos and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians, we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God. Gospel Reading: The Gospel According to John 7:37-52; 8:12 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and proclaimed, If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water. Now this he said about the Spirit, which those who believed in him were to receive; for as 1 July 2018 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 5 th Sunday of Matthew 8 6 th Sunday of Matthew 15 Sunday of the Holy Fathers 22 Ss.

Peter & Paul 9:30am 10:30am Women s Ministry Team Membership Vine Street East Condos 1-4pm The Synaxis of the Apostles 9:30am 10:30am yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. When they heard these words, some of the people said, This is really the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Is the Christ to come from Galilee? Has not the scripture said that the Christ is descended from David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was? So there was a division among the people over him. Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him. The officers then went back to the chief priest and Pharisees, who said to them, Why did you not bring him? The officers answered, No man ever spoke like this man! The Pharisees answered them, Are you led astray, you also? Have any of the authorities or of the Pharisees believed in him? But this crowd, who do not know the law, are accursed. Nikodemos, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them, Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does? They replied, Are you from Galilee too? Search and you will see that no prophet is to rise from Galilee. Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. Response to Second Antiphion Save us, O Holy Comforter, save us who sing to You: Alleluia. (3) Hymn for the Feast Blessed are You, O Christ our God. You made wise men of poor fishermen by sending down upon them Your Holy Spirit, and through them You caught the whole world. O Lover of mankind, glory to You. ( Book page 173)

4 Entrance Hymn Be exalted, O Lord, in Your power; we will sing and praise Your mighty deeds. Save us, O good Comforter. Kontakion When He came down and confused the tongues of men, the Most High divided the nations. But in sending forth parted tongues of flame He called all mankind to unity that with one accord we might glorify His all Holy Spirit. ( Book page 281) Instead of Holy God As many of you as have been baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves in Christ. Alleluia. (3) ( Book page 293) Megalynarion (Hymn for the Theotokos) You conceived and gave birth in virginity; the Word who created all, through you became incarnate. O Mother who knew not man, Virgin Theotokos, the boundless One was held by you, the dwelling of your infinite Creator; we magnify you. ( Book page 311) Communion Hymn Let Your good Spirit lead me along a path that is sure, a path that is sure and straight. (3) ( Book page 322) After Communion Hymn (Instead of We have seen... ) Blessed are You, O Christ our God. You made wise men of poor fishermen by sending down upon them Your Holy Spirit, and through them You caught the whole world. O Lover of mankind, glory to You.
