A word from the Fathers… St. Symeon the .ew Theologian The roof of any house stands upon the foundations and the rest of the structure. The foundations themselves are laid in order to carry the roof. This is both useful and necessary, for the roof cannot stand without the foundations and the foundations are absolutely useless without the roof - no help to any living creature. In the same way the grace of God is preserved by the practice of the commandments, and the observance of these commandments is laid down like foundations through the gift of God. The grace of the Spirit cannot remain with us without the practice of the commandments, but the practice of the commandments is of no help or advantage to us without the grace of God.

Announcements • Last Sunday’s attendance was 46 souls, collection was 920.00 total. May our Lord God reward you abundantly for your generosity. • WE NEED YOUR HELP! We would like to raise funds for our parish in the “Christmas around the world” event, on November 14th 2009, which also happens to be the Feast of St. Philip the Apostle! Please reserve that day. Beforehand, we will need people to transport the items and baked goods, etc. to the hall, and to set-up. During the event, we will need people to take shifts working at the booth. Also, if you have any items you would be willing to make or donate, especially baked goods or Christmas crafts, please do so. They can be stored at the church if you do not have room at home. Also, for health

reasons all items of food should be wrapped securely. If you can help, please contact Margaret Dean or Elizabeth Baker. • As you know, our small parish community cannot survive without fundraising. We all have to participate. I will try to establish a schedule of regular events, and am happy to hear suggestions from you. Christmas around the world will be probably the last event of this calendar year. • To the members of the parish council and financial council: We will meet on Sunday, Oct. 18th 2009 at 12.30pm at the church. Please reserve the date! • Cleaning day! On Saturday, Oct. 17, around 10 am, come and help. Basic clean up of the church and the hall needed, vacuuming, dusting, mopping, moving furniture, etc.
