Dn. Chris's Sermon on the Sunday of the Blind Man

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. The Lord Jesus was coming from the Temple on the Sabbath, when He saw the blind man mentioned in today's Gospel while walking on the way. This man had been born without eyes, according to the writings of Church Fathers such as Saint Irenaeus, Saint John Chrysostom, and Saint Basil the Great. When the disciples saw this, they asked their Teacher, "Who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?" They asked this because when the Lord had healed the paralytic at the Sheep's Pool, He had told him, "Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you" so they wondered, if sickness was caused by sin, what sin could have been the cause of his being born without eyes. But the Lord answered that neither the man nor his parents had sinned to cause this condition, but it was for the glory of God. Then the God-man spat on the ground and made clay with the spittle. He anointed the eyes

It is with great sadness, yet with the hope of the resurrection, that we inform you, that our beloved sister in Christ, Mrs. Fotini Ziogas, has fallen asleep yesterday in the Lord.  The family will receive friends at Fotini's home, (6061 Rollingreen Drive), this coming Sunday from 5 to 8pm. The traditional viewing will take place this coming Monday, May 23rd, from 11am to 12 noon, at which time the Funeral Service of Mrs. Fotini will start at our Annunciation Church. After the completion of the Funeral Service, the burial of Mrs. Fotini, along with the graveside Trisagion, will be held at the Forsyth Memorial Park Cemetery. It is the will of the family that instead of flowers, donations may be made to our Annunciation Church, or to the Monastery of Panagia Prousiotissa in Troy. May her memory be eternal!           Fotini Kazakos Ziogas January 11, 1940 ~ May 18, 2022 (age 82)   Mrs. Fotini Kazakos Ziogas, 82, fell asleep in the Lord on Wednesday, May 18, 2
