EPISTLE READING: St. Paul's Letter to Titus 3:8-15 Titus, my son, the saying is sure. I desire you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to apply themselves to good deeds; these are excellent and profitable to men. But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels over the law, for they are unprofitable and futile. As for a man who is factious, after admonishing him once or twice, have nothing more to do with him, knowing that such a person is perverted and sinful; he is self-condemned. When I send Artemas or Tychicos to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. Do your best to speed Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way; see that they lack nothing. And let our people learn to apply themselves to good deeds, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not to be unfruitful. All who are with me send greeting to you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
GOSPEL READING: The Gospel According to St Luke 8:5-15 The Lord said this parable: "A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the path, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it. And some fell on the rock; and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew with it and choked it. And some fell into good soil and grew, and yielded a hundredfold." And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant, he said, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for others they are in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, that they may not believe and be saved. And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy; but these have no root, they believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. And as for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bring forth fruit with patience." As he said these things, he cried out "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

Green Tips for Fall Leaves
Support nature’s regeneration next spring by using leaves. Many of us know that dried leaves are great insulators with nutrients, but exactly how can you effectively use them in the yard and garden?
• Mow leaves and rake them in piles before employing them in gardens • Use the fallen, mulched leaves to cover and protect established plants. Note: Some tree leaves (walnut, eucalyptus and sycamore) are detrimental to seed growth. • Spread leaves around plants but leave space around stems to prevent crown rot. • Disperse leaves in gardens up to 4 inches around plants. • Fill planting containers with packed leaves halfway before adding soil and plants. • Make a compost pile solely of leaves to use later as leaf mold, a soil additive. • Layer shredded leaves and topsoil, place bulbs, and cover with leaves and soil. • Avoid mixing maple tree helicopters and oak tags in your leaf spreads. • Check pH acidity, since leaves can be acidic, and remedy with lime. • Mix tough leaves (such as oak) with others or separate since break downs vary. • Keep up to 2 inches of leaves from your last mowing on grass to mulch the lawn.
