Message from Fr. Michael L. Pastrikos, Protopresbyter
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO FOR 2015?
"LIVE YOUR FAITH"
Here we are again, a New Year has begun, and
we are still thinking of making new resolutions,
when in fact we never fulfilled last year’s resolutions. I heard a person tell me, that he will never
make another New Year’s resolution anymore,
because he never keeps them. I can remember all
too many resolutions I’ve made and let slip away
too. But I still believe that New Year’s resolutions
are worth making. Why? Because we need change
in our lives. I’ve heard people say, that they have
no regrets about their life. If they had to do it
over, they would do the same thing. But that is not
a healthy attitude to take. During our lives we suffer failures and successes. We have a lot to confess when we say that everything is satisfactory or
excellent in our lives. Owing up to our failures is
the first, painful step on the road to something
better.
We can reminisce and look back in time on
what happened to us last year. I’m sure there are
positive as well as negative reactions concerning
what we experienced throughout last year’s
events. In this 2015 New Year, we need to bring a
joyous and fresh attitude to our daily activities.
Forget all the errors and misfortunes that happened last year, and start anew, bringing the Lord
Jesus Christ into the forefront of our lives. This is
what is missing in our lives, the opportunity to
grow in Christ.
Let me ask a serious question. What percentage of your life is producing something of value
to God? There is always room for evaluation and
reassessment. We need to ask ourselves? How did
last year go? What do I want to do differently this
year? What are the pros and cons? Look at the
past year and see where you failed, and where you
succeeded. Coming into a new year is the right
time for corrections. Sure, we might fail in what
we set out to do, but if we fail to plan, then we plan
to fail. If you’re so fearful of failure then you’re
never going to find success. Failure is not the end.
For the person who determine to learn from it,
failure is a friend. If we need to succeed first we
need to be right with God, and we need to correct
our old ways and mistakes. God respects the person who, when he fails, gets up and starts fresh.
One of my heroes in the Bible is the Apostle
Paul. Talk about failure! Through his whole life he
was opposed, persecuted, shipwrecked, stoned,
left for dead, deserted by trusted friends, slandered, and scorned. Trials and temptations were
part of his life. He had many moments of failure,
hardship, and tragedies in his life. He overcame
his mishaps and mistakes and picked himself up
and continued on his spiritual journey towards
God’s Heavenly Kingdom. His life was committed not to worldly things but to spiritual fulfillment, something that we are missing today. We
aim to satisfy our earthly desires, and we overlook
our spiritual responsibilities.
I’m going to give everyone a recipe to assist in
reaching your goals. This year instead of making
a bunch of small resolutions, make just one big
one. Resolve in 2015 to “LIVE YOUR FAITH”.
Let it encompass everything you do, every aspect
of your life. Look at your life in terms of Stewardship. Spend time in daily prayer; come to Church
regularly and Worship Christ. Use your talent in
many of the ministries that the church provides.
Find your passion in service, explore fasting, and
teach your children or grandchildren. Give of your
abundant treasure in thanksgiving to God, and for
the work of the Gospel, in ways that are both sacrificial and meaningful. The opportunities are endless. Find a way to connect Christ and the Church
to every aspect of your life. “LIVE YOUR
FAITH”.
We are blessed by God with the beginning of
this New Year “2015”. In Thanksgiving, let us
make a positive resolution to pursue our lives in
accordance with the Will of God, and put our
spiritual household into order, not only during the
coming year, but for the remainder of our lives.
Presbytera and I would like to wish everyone
in the Community a Happy and Blessed New
Year, and pray that through our Incarnate Lord
may He bless and keep you healthy and wise, and
let’s make this New Year “The Year of Christ”.

MESSAGE FROM THE
PARISH PRESIDENT
Dear Parishioners,
The year 2014 was a challenging year for our Community but
as the New Year beckons at our door, I cannot help but reflect
on the past year’s accomplishments. Several times this year God
answered my prayers with renewed commitments from our current and newly elected Parish Council members who, along with a core of dedicated volunteers, worked endless hours in keeping our
Church moving in the positive direction. Recently, we replaced the roof over the main
part of our Church, and we hosted a successful 60th Anniversary St. Nicholas Name Day
Banquet. Every year has its ups and downs,
yet we must always remember that through
faith, God is with us. We may not initially
see the light, but when we continue to pray and not lose hope,
we find the light at the end of the tunnel. That Light is our Lord,
Jesus Christ. One of my favorite quotes by an unknown author is, “Talking about our problems has become our greatest
addiction. Break the habit. Talk about your joys.” There are a
lot of wonderful things happening at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, so let’s focus on the good and work together to
reach our goals in a joyful, cooperative way.
HAPPY NEW YEAR AND GOOD HEALTH TO
EVERYONE AND THEIR FAMILIES.
In Christ,
Demos Anastasiades,
Parish Council President

GREEKTOWN CDC
A message from the CEO, Col. John E. Gavrilis.
Upon reflecting on the past twelve months, we have seen much
progress in our community. The presence of our office in the community continues to be a focal point of advocacy for the neighborhood.
Through our partnership with City government our community is
cleaner and safer. We thank our residents who have been involved
in community cleanups throughout
the year. Our National Night Out
event was a huge success bringing
together residents, businesses,
elected officials and police as a sign
of unity against crime. We continue
to be one of the City’s safest communities to live in. The CDC meets
regularly with the police department
to address crime and quality of life
issues. We have successfully supported the residents and businesses
in their position against nuisance
properties and bars. The Greektown
CDC was pleased that its project to
increase parking in the community
came to fruition thru the City’s redesign of angle parking along Oldham
Street.
Our organization recognizes that
the economic development of our
community is needed to sustain us in
the long term. That is why we continue to advocate for new home development along Oldham Street and
support the Pemco project. We continue to support our business district
through a partnership with the Business Alliance. Banners have been installed and our flag court is maintained as a way to identify our community. Greektown has been featured in several news segments identifying our community as a destination point.
We continue our efforts to support
the kids of Greektown. Our Board has
partnered with several affiliated organizations such as AHEPA #364
and Buddies. On a yearly basis,
awarded numerous scholarships for
our Greek youth; coordinated our
annual trip to the Oriole Ball Park,
hosting over 65 kids from the community and participated in the Annual
Kennedy Krieger Christmas Party for
the kids.
The St. Nicholas community continues as one of our premier anchors.
We supported their annual Greek
festival, parade and the 60th Anni-
versary Celebration of the church. The church has always been the
visionary force in our community. It was the founder of the Greektown
CDC. I am proud to have been a part of the CDC since its inception
by the church. We look forward to 2015 as we continue to work together with the community to make it the best place to live, work,
play and worship.
We would like to remind our residents and businesses to pick up
the leaves and not to discard them in the gutter drains. The City is
very responsive to us, often cleaning out our gutter drains. They have
asked for our help in getting this message out. Also, during the winter
months, please check in on our elderly neighbors and help clear their
sidewalks from snow and ice. You are reminded to call 311 for city
services and 911 when witnessing a crime.
Happy New Year and Xronia Polla from Col. John E. Gavrilis
and the Board of Directors.
60th Anniversary Recognition & Thank You

“Ta Kalanta” to bring

took time out of their
busy work schedules to
come and drive all of
our GOYAns around
town, to and from the
different businesses.
Also, a thank you to the advisors, Mrs. Kelly Argetakis, Mrs.
Mia Atsidis, Mrs. Katina Palas, and especially Mrs. Virginia
Polychronis who organized it all. Also, we would like to thank
all the parishioners, businesses and patrons that donated and
opened up their places for our GOYANS to come in and sing the
carols. And lastly, thank you to the Olive Tree for your continued support as they opened their doors to the GOYANS to celebrate a day of fellowship over dinner. Without all of YOU, this
day would not have happened or been successful!!
Thank you for your support! ∫·È ÙÔ˘ ÃÚfiÓÔ˘!

Blessing Your Home
Dear Parishioners:
In the month of January, we celebrate a Great Feast within the Orthodox Church. Epiphany, the baptism of our
Lord Jesus Christ, on January 6th. It is the season of the blessing of the Holy Waters, when also the parish priest
through his very rich custom brings the Blessed Holy Water to the faithful in their homes and business establishments. This enables everyone to receive the Great Blessing of our Lord for the New Year of 2015. I feel that this is
a beautiful custom, that as your priest, bringing the Blessed Holy Water of Epiphany to you, my parishioners, allows me to remain close to you and your family. We request that you fill out the form below or call the church
secretary to set up a convenient time.
PLEASE NOTE: Only those homes that submit this form or call will be visited. I hope that each family will take
advantage of this traditional and important blessing for the New Year of 2015. With Paternal Blessing and Best
Wishes for this Holiday Season!
With Love in Christ Jesus,
Father Michael

The Blessings of the Water . . .
Annual trip to Ocean City, Maryland
St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church’s annual trip to St. George Greek
Orthodox Church in Ocean City, Maryland will take place this coming Saturday, January 10, 2015.Our goal is to take a motor coach bus from St. Nicholas Church to St. George Greek Orthodox Church, Ocean City, Md. to attend
church services on Saturday morning.
After the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy, we would travel to the
beach for the Blessing of the Waters and for the “diving of the Cross”. Youths
and adults are welcomed to dive for the Cross in the Atlantic ocean. Those
interested in that activity should bring appropriate bathing suits, wet-suits
and towels. The cost of the trip is $25.00 per person.
If your child is enrolled in Greek School or GOYA, please consult
those advisors regarding any discounts for children. Lunch is not included in
the cost.
We anticipate leaving by 7 a.m. and returning by 7 p.m. that same
evening. All children must be accompanied by an adult. If you are interested,
please contact the church office at 410-633-5020. Let's fill the bus!!!
Thank you,
Rev. Father Michael L. Pastrikos
