Nicole’s Mission Trip
Nicole Sarkisian, 16 year old granddaughter of Albert & Geno Sarkisian, will be
participating in a Mission Trip to Armenian this summer to work in Armenian
orphanages helping with education, nutrition, and clothing programs of the Paros
Foundation.
Between now and June, Nicole will be collecting pop bottles and cans to raise funds to
donate to the Paros Foundation, in conjunction with the service portion of her trip. If
you are interested in contributing to her fundraising efforts, please drop off your
empty cans or bottles in the containers labeled “Nicole’s Mission Trip” near the
Fellowship Hall.
Just pop bottles and cans—no personal monetary donations necessary; if you would
like to donate to the Paros Foundation, you may make a check payable to them and
give it to her. Thank you.
The Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans 12:1-13:10
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living
sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform
any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and
perfect will. For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself
more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in
accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. Just as each of us has one
body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in
Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We
have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him
use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;
if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him
give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him
do it cheerfully. Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted
to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking
in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in
affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice;
mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be
willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay
anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is
possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge,
my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will
repay," says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty,
give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do
not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Everyone must submit himself to
the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established.
God has established the authorities that exist. Consequently, he who rebels against the
authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring
judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those
who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is
right and he will commend you. For he is, God's servant to do you good. But if you do
wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an
agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit
to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of
conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who
give their full time to governing. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay
taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. Let no debt
remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his
fellowman has fulfilled the law. The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not
murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet,” and whatever other commandment there may be,
are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to
its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ According to Matthew 5:17-48
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to
abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not
the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the
Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these
commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of
heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the
kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the
Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not murder, and anyone who
murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his
brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca,’ is
answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire
of hell. "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your
brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and
be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. "Settle matters quickly with
your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or
he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and
you may be thrown into prison. I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid
the last penny. "You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ But I tell you
that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his
heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for
you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if
your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose
one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. "It has been said, ‘Anyone
who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I tell you that anyone who
divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress,
and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery. "Again, you have heard
that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you
have made to the Lord.’ But I tell you, do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's
throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great
King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.
Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the
evil one. "You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you,
do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the
other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak
as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who
asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.” “You have
heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’” But I tell you: Love
your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father
in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the
righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?
Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are
you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your
heavenly Father is perfect.
