KOINONIA JULY-AUGUST/ IOY§IO™∞À°OÀ™ΔO™ 2015 Message from Fr. Michael L. Pastrikos, Protopresbyter Our Community is Truly Blessed . . . We have gone through the half of the year of 2015, and throughout this year we have been witnessing beautiful events happening in our Parish. We experienced the month of January with the Great Epiphany of our Lord, giving us the opportunity to also have an Epiphany in our lives. We continued on thru the Triodion, and the Great Lenten Period. We experienced the spiritual journey through Holy Week bringing thousands of faithful to the Church as we worshipped together the Lords’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension. We also experienced the power and Glory of the Holy Spirit thru the Feast of Pentecost. I think all of that took the months of January, February, March and April. We also had exciting events happening in May and June. We had the pleasure of Hosting the Metropolis Concert, again many thanks to His Eminence Metropolitan Evangelos of New Jersey, for giving his blessings to host this wonderful event at our Plateia. During the first week of June we had the great opportunity to Host the Holy and Miraculous Icon of the Panagia Ipseni which came to us directly from the Monastery of Lardos, Rhodes, Greece. What an experience and what a thrill that hundreds of faithful from all over the Metropolis came and venerated the Holy Icon of the Panagia. On behalf of the Parish, I would like to take this opportunity once again to thank our Spiritual Father, His Eminence Metropolitan Evangelos of New Jersey for his spiritual foresight in giving his blessings for the Holy Icon of the Panagia Ipseni to come to St. Nicholas. We were really blessed and we will never forget the experience that every felt when they came and venerated the Holy Icon of the Panagia Ipseni. A special thank you goes out to the Abyss of the Monastery Mother Miriam, and sister Kassiani for their knowledge and spiritual blessings and teachings that they shared with us during the 3 day retreat. It’s very hard to top that experience, but I also want to extend my fervent prayers to all who volunteered in our Annual St. Nicholas Greek Folk Festival. I have seen so many excellent faithful participating in the life of the Church, throughout this half of the year helping to grow the Parish and grow themselves. This is what we are here for, so that we all can grow to be better and more faithful Orthodox Christians believing in that we can do anything we put our minds to do together. Again I state, that we had so many beautiful and meaningful events so far this year. And this is proof that our Community is truly blessed and it’s growing. It’s blessed because we have parishioners and friends of the Parish that really care for the success and progress of their St. Nicholas Community. I always thought that the month of July would be a slow month giving us a little breather, but if you look on our Churches website, and our Koinonia Newsletter, St. Nicholas will never slow down. We just finished our VBC Vacation Bible School with great success. I would like to thank all the Teachers, the students, Parents and the VBS Staff of volunteers and Counselors who made this event a great success. We are at this moment under way with our Greek school Summer Camp Program which will extend into August. In the later part of July we have the CYC Summer Camp program which will begin on July 20th and it will run through July 24th. This is something very exciting for our children. Parents please take my advice; sign up your children for this exciting spiritual journey. You will never regret it; the children at CYC according to what I have experienced going there every year, the children have a great time. They get to meet their regular friends and have the opportunity to make new friends. They get to meet all the Clergy on a one to one basis. They learn about CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 GREEK ORTHODOX ARCHDIOCESE OF AMERICA METROPOLIS OF NEW JERSEY K O I N ø N I ∞ 2 MESSAGE FROM THE PARISH PRESIDENT Dear Parishioners, As we kick-off summer, I have nothing but good news to share. First, the Parish Council Board has been ratified and the executive board elected. They are as follows: Demos Anastasiades, President, Gus Karagiannopoulos, Vice-President, Vasili Argiropoulos, Re·· cording Secretary, Eleni KostakisStakias, Corresponding Secretary, Popi Paragios, Treasurer, and Mary Serafis, Assistant Treasurer. I am humbled to be re-elected as President of this fine parish. Secondly, the St. Nicholas Greek Folk Festival was another success. The Festival Committee did an outstanding job reorganizing the layout of the festival as well as bringing in new attractions and vendors. Again, the success of the festival relied on our volunteers who showed up every day and gave 100% of themselves. Congratulations to everyone!!! Thirdly, the Learning Center is in its final stages of completion. Please refer to the brochure within this issue of the Koinonia. Fourthly, the Parish Council is looking to hire additional staff for the Learning Center, the Plateia and part-time Youth Director to support our church ministries. If any parishioner is interested or could recommend a candidate, please contact either myself or Parish Council Member, Vasili Argiropoulos with the appropriate qualifications.

The Food is great, and they have a lot of fun. If any parent is interested in registering their child or children, please contact Fr. Michael, or Fr. Dean Moralis at the Annunciation Cathedral. You must hurry because the Camp will be booked up in a short time. So much for the month of July, then we enter the month of August. In the beginning of the month of August we will be going through the 15 day Fasting Period of the Mother of God the Virgin Mary. Paraklesis services will be scheduled (please follow the Liturgical program which you can find on the St. Nicholas Website, the Koinonia Newsletter). On the 15th day of August we will celebrate the repose of the Mother of God, and her body and soul being brought up to heaven in participation of the Resurrection. As with all things we as Orthodox Christians prepare ourselves with the 15 day Fasting Period in honor of our Most Blessed Lady Theotokos, and we are also called by God through fasting and prayer to purify our mind, soul, and body, in order to receive on the Feast of the Dormition the Holy Eucharist (The Body and Blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I hope and pray that everyone takes time to get some rest during the summer. I know that many of you will be taking your vacations with your family. Just remember Vacations don’t take a whole summer, so no one has a good excuse to keep away from God. If your family is on a vacation, try to find the nearest Orthodox Church and attend Church services on Sundays. And if you’re not away from home, don’t forget St. Nicholas will always be there for you. HAVE A GREAT SUMMER.

All the teachers of our school, and I as the President of the Greek School, hope to meet up with the needs and expectations of both, you, as parents, and the students. We are proud to present a well organized curriculum this year, with staff well trained in educational skills and having a fluency in Greek, as all of our teachers are born and raised in Greece. As the acquisition of fluency in a foreign language is a rather complex process, it is required that both parts, us as a school and the kids as students, are accountable, so that the best results are accomplished. Therefore, it is going to be a process that requires a lot of work in class, first and foremost, but also a good preparation at home is essential. For these reasons, we consider the relation of teacher-parents as a relation of collaboration and constructive feedback for both sides, and we will do our best to work towards this direction. This year, we are also hoping to form 3 classes of Ellinomatheia: -Ellinomatheia 1 (A1-A2) -Ellinomatheia 2 (B1) -Ellinomatheia 3 (f1) These classes will prepare our students for the Final Exams of Language Literacy, and according to the level they will succeed at, they can manage to get College credits, or even a teaching license, once succeeding in the Exam of °2level. It is important for all the parents to consider supporting their children for these exams, since they provide, not only a better knowledge of the language, but also a well-recognized degree they can use later on in their life. Please, contact me for further information. I hope this year will be creative and joyful for everyone! The school year will begin with the Blessing within the first 2 weeks of September, and student registration will also take place in the church, starting September 2nd. You can send or bring the registration form in the Church Office anytime, within the summertime. The following are enclosed in the envelope: - One Student Registration Form - The Weekly Program - The Annual Program I am looking forward to dynamic school year and I expect to meet you all at school! Have a great summer!

Thirty-nine volunteers showed-up to help throughout the week of VBS. A majority of our volunteers comprised of students ranging from the 7th grade to college graduates who served as counselors and station leaders. They arrived with smiles on their faces and served willing. It was the most singular act of witnessing their faith and offering service to the church. More importantly, they served as positive role models for the young children attending VBS this past year. Also, thanks is given to members of the Sunday School and Greek School staffs, the Diamonds and the Ladies Philoptochos who either worked as Station Leaders, prepared the daily lunch, assisted with registration or whatever task was required to be completed. A special thank you is given to the Director of the VBS Program, Phaedra Avgerinos, who shared her enthusiasm daily with the children and the parent volunteers, Penny Alafassos, Nancy Anastasiades and Tricia O’Drudy who assisted with the planning and organizing of the program. As the week progressed, I took joy in seeing familiar student faces enjoying the VBS program. Under Father Michael’s spiritual leadership, the students learned that with God they can “Hold On”, because God has the power to provide; God has the power to comfort; God has the power to heal; God has the power to forgive; God has the power to love us forever. Today, these kids might be playing bible games in a church classroom, but in the near future, they will be the next wave of emerging adults on the Church’s doorstep as our future church leaders. The goal of Vacation Bible School is to cement God in your child’s heart so as your child grows into adulthood, he/she will step into the church for a lifetime. I believe our tireless volunteers accomplished that this year. When you see them in church, please give your thanks to our amazing volunteers. They are as follows: Student Volunteers: Kristina Anastasiades,Stelios Anastasiades, Antonis Araviakis, Niko Argetaki, Mehali Argetakis, Kosta Atsidis, Penelope Atsidis, Nikol Akalestos, Michael Cejpek, Markella Cornias, Flora Giakoumakis, Nick Kamos, Billy Lioreisis, Sevasti Nistazos, George Mimaros, Avery Mims, Peggy Moraitis, Antonios Palas, Dean Palas, Tasso Patrikios, Chrissy Papastefanou, Manoli Papastefanou, Foula Paragios, George Topouzoglou, Penelope Topouzoglou, and Christos Vasilarakis. Adult Volunteers: Penny Alafassos, Nancy Anastasiades, Phaedra Avgerinos, Chrissy Cossis, Emily Cossis, Mina Bletsa-Filippaki, Soula Gianakoulias, Tina Harris, Soulla Kapetanakos, Tricia O’Drudy, Voula Santamoure, Kiki Vavakas, and Angela Vasilarakis. Thanks In Christ, Demos Anastasiades, Parish Council President GOYA NEWS The GOYAns ended a successful year of learning about and participating in worship, fellowship, service and witness by enjoying a two day trip to Busch Gardens Williamsburg. They squeezed in a lot of excitement and fun during those two days while bonding with fellow GOYAns and parent advisors. As they exited the bus upon their return home, their smiling faces said it all. K O I N ø N I ∞ 12 JULY - AUGUST 2015 COMMUNITY NEWS ✧ ∫Oπ¡OΔπ∫∞ ¡∂A Greek School Year End Event!
