3 I thank my God upon every
remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine
making request for you all with joy, 5
for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has
begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; 7 just as it is right for me to think this of you all,
because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the
defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace.
8 For God is my witness, how greatly I long
for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ. 9
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and
all discernment, 10 that you may
approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without
offense till the day of Christ, 11
being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the
glory and praise of God.
Our brother in Christ, Rev. Fr. Nektarios Serfes, is traveling
to Kosovo today, October 13…please offer prayer for him as he travels and seeks
to bring your loving and generous gifts to those who live in hardship in that
area.
Know that the benefactors of the Decani Monastery Relief Fund
are remembered with love and thanksgiving before the altar of God at the
Decani Monastery as seen above. In
behalf of Fr. Nektarios, the fathers of the Decani Monastery and the faithful
in the area, they send their heartfelt thanks and prayers for you, their
benefactors and brethren in Christ!
Decani
Monastery, Kosovo and Metohija, Serbia
