Bearing the Fruit in God s Holy Kingdom

1 OVEMBER/ O ªμƒπO 2015 KOINONIA Message from Fr. Michael L. Pastrikos, Protopresbyter Bearing the Fruit in God s Holy Kingdom Dear Church members and friends, We each have different motivations and capacities for giving, and every gift and pledge is gratefully received. Our Stewardship committee s one hope is that your support for our ministries comes from a profound sense of gratitude and joy for all you receive through your relationship with God and the "Stewards" of our Church. Here at St. Nicholas we are blessed. We share a strong faith with each other. We celebrate the joyful events in each other s lives and comfort each other in times of trial and sorrow. We are an open Church embracing everyone that joins our family circle. We also open our hearts and our hospitality to everyone who comes and worships with us. Our Church has ministered faithfully for more than 60 years here in Baltimore, not because members have given over and above the means, or that they give year after year out of duty, obligation, guilt or fear. No, our Church is still here; still strong and vibrant because generations of Stewards have counted themselves blessed and have therefore supported its mission with generous gifts of gratitude and joy. If our survival counted on only by the Stewardship Pledges that come in every year, our church would have been closed a long time ago. To give you some financial statistics, our church budget has surpassed the $600,000 dollar mark. Our annual Stewardship pledges that come in every year, ranges between $200,000 to $220,000 every year. That doesn t even cover 1/3 of the budget. In my eyes for a large community of over 980 families the amount of donations that come into the church through the Stewardship pledges is a very poor example of how much we truly love and support our church. Just imagine if everyone in the parish gave faithfully every year to their church, we would be able to accomplish the many tasks that are presented to us every year. I have stated many times in previous newsletters, that if our young adults, and our young married couples, if only they could understand the needs of the church and started to volunteer their Time, Talent, and Treasure, to their parish, we would be a community filled with spiritual joy and happiness. We need our young people to step up to the plate and support their parish. This is something that we have not accomplished here at St. Nicholas, but we will never give up, and we will continue as a parish to educate our young people for the future generations. We can t rely every year on Festivals, Dances, and Raffles to pull us through our financial responsibilities. We are blessed to have great facilities in our community. We have our Church, our Schools, the Plateia, our Large and Small Hall, our extended properties, and our future Educational building. To operate these facilities, we need $45,000 a month to keep up with all the bills and stay afloat. We need our parishioners to understand the enormous financial responsibilities that we have and for them to help support this cause. We send out 4 times a year Stewardship Pledge cards to all the members of our parish. Instead of getting a positive response, the response is always negative. Out of 980 families our average response is between 550 to 600 pledges every year. God has blessed us here at St. Nicholas. We have kept our Traditions, Language, Culture, and our Heritage close to our hearts. Our church is always open to take care of the needs of our parishioners. There is so much traffic in our church every day that sometimes I feel like I m in an airport. In worship, fellowship, School activities, Youth activities, study and faith, sharing groups, service opportunities and more, we are growing and we will continue to grow and prosper as an extended family. With your generous gift we will continue to build the web of caring for our community. In conclusion, I would like to inform everyone that on Sunday, November 22, the Stewardship Committee will be hosting the Annual Stewardship Sunday Program. Fr. Michael will conduct a special prayer service for those who send in their Stewardship offering. Over the next few weeks you ll be hearing from the Stewardship committee, some special deeply personal messages that will be given in church after the Divine Liturgy. Please come to church with your family and use that time to reflect on the many ways you can count yourself blessed and then give gratefully, generously and joyfully in support of our ministries for May God bless all of you, and may you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day celebration with your family and friends.

2 2 K O I N ø N I NOVEMBER 2015 MESSAGE FROM THE PARISH PRESIDENT Dear Parishioners, This month, I was really struggling to write something meaningful. I was feeling exhausted and worn out even though we have been accomplishing so much at the church. My work at St. Nicholas was becoming, well like, work. My passion for the job was withering. I decided to check out the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America's website at for inspiration. Wow, I never expected to find the series called Be the Bee by Steven Christoforou, Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministries. Christoforou explains that all Christians struggle with their faith and devotion to Christ and that was when I realized why I was feeling worn out. I was so busy tending to the needs of the church, that I neglected to tend to my personal relationship with God. Instead of putting my faith in myself to get the work done, I should have put my faith in God. The media, family and friends all say the same thing, work smarter, work harder. Rarely does anyone say, Give your problems to God, Trust in God, or Let's pray together. Watching the Be the Bee series reminded me, that God is always there to renew my spirit, renew my strength, renew my faith in him. Since November is Stewardship month, I will be spending my time renewing and strengthening my personal relationship with God. Every month, I ask that all of our parishioners consider giving of their time, talent and treasure. If you cannot give any of these things, then pray for us and give us your blessing for through God, we can accomplish anything. Happy Thanksgiving!!

Our annual Bull & Oyster Roast was enjoyed by all. Thank you to those who attended and donated. All of the proceeds went to benefit the Plateia. Thank you to Liberatore s Ristorante at White Marsh and to everyone who attended the Fall Ladies Night Out. The proceeds from the evenings event went to benefit the food account. On Sunday, November 1st we will honor our Patron Saints Kosmas and Damianos with an Artoclasia and coffee hour. Join us on Monday, November 2nd at 6:00 p.m. for the general meeting followed by dinner to honor the Saints. We will also be giving out the pins to those who have contributed to the Saint Nicholas Shrine. If you have made a donation thank you. To our members who have not, no donation is to small! Once again from November 1st - 15th, we will be collecting canned and boxed food for those less fortunate. All items may be placed in the Philoptochos room. Donations: Fotisia Anastasi in memory of Phillip J. Arnas Haraklia and John Stakias in memory of George Rossis and Kalliopi Kornias May their Memory be eternal! Anonymous for Saint Basils Academy With Thanksgiving approaching, we would like to thank all our contributors and supporters.
