MESSAGE FROM THE
PARISH PRESIDENT
MHNYMA TOY ¶ƒO∂¢ƒOÀ
Δ∏™ ∫Oπ¡OΔ∏Δ∞™
Dear Parishioners,
New Year’s is one of the most celebrated festivals in the world. 1 million people are expected to jam into
Times Square to watch the ball drop on
December 31st at exactly 11:59 p.m.
eastern standard time. Fireworks will
be set off as we hold parties with family and friends to celebrate the beginning of the new year day, January 1st.
Why is this celebration so important?
Because, it rushes in a new sense of
hope and give us an opportunity to
forget the past year’s difficulties. It
also allows us to embrace the New
Year with not just a new look, but also
with a new and positive approach to simplify our life. My personal New
Year’s resolution is to declutter my mind, body, and soul. How? First,
give your problems to God. Second, breathe to calm and relax yourself
so that you may focus on what is truly important. Third, slow down and
finish what you may have started.
This past year in the church, we
have started several projects that now require our full attention to complete them down to the smallest detail. I am giving myself and the Parish Council Board the permission to slow down and finish those projects
100 percent before taking on any new projects.Fourth and lastly, I am
going to declutter my soul by filling it up with the Divine Liturgy. Too
often, my Sundays are spent completing my duties as Parish Council
President; but going forward I will be dedicating a majority of my Sundays to mediation and experiencing the Divine Liturgy and devoting
another day to my responsibilities as Parish Council President. Please
join me this new year in renewing your mind, body and soul with God’s
helping hand.
In Christ,

JANUARY 2016
Message from Fr. Michael L. Pastrikos, Protopresbyter
While making resolutions for the New Year, you can pause
to consider your spiritual life and future.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
just by saying that we are baptized without works and faith
there would be of no effect. We must continue our spiritual
journey, and to challenge ourselves to be better Christians and
to live our Christian life to the end.
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? Look back at last year and see
where you failed and where you succeeded. These are very
serious questions, and they deserve an honest answer. We all
need to find a way to connect Christ and the Church to every
aspect of our lives. Don’t just say you have faith; you need to
live your faith in Christ. Words are good to know but we need
to put those words into practice.
If you’re reading this article, thank God that you are alive
to see the beginning of this New Year 2016. In thanksgiving
let’s make a positive resolution to pursue our lives in accordance with the Will of God, and put our spiritual household in
order, not only on certain events of the year but for the remainder of our lives.
Presvytera and I would like to wish everyone in the Community a Happy and Blessed New Year and pray through our
Incarnate Lord. May He bless and keep you healthy and wise
and let’s make this New Year “ The Year of Christ”.

ANNOUNCEMENT
We want to inform the members of St. Nicholas that we decided to revive the Dance
Group of Pan HELLENIC. In this Group, which was founded by our unforgettable and dear
friend, Lela Angelou. To this end, Ms. Efi Karabelas along with myself, Anastasia -Stasa
Hatziefthimiou, urge both, the founding and subsequent members of the Group to honor us
with their presence and their registration, too. We intend to meet every Thursday at 7:00 pm
here in the Community Hall of Saint Nicholas. For more information you can call 443-8458903.

CLIP IT, AND SUBMIT IT TO CHURCH
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 holiday 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 2016. 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 2016. With Paternal
Blessing and Best Wishes for this Holiday Season!
With Love in Christ Jesus, Father Michael
BLESSING OF HOME/BUSINESS
