MAY 2019 - VOLUME NO. 338 SPYRIDON HELLENIC ORTHODOX CHURCH

Christ is Risen! Words cannot express my thanks to all our Saint Spyridon faithful for a truly memorable and uplifting Holy Week and Pascha celebration. Reflecting on the entire series of events, starting back at Clean Mon- day, it is certainly a remarkable journey filled with acts of kindness and love by countless faithful. First, even though it is , there is a great deal of cooking and hosting during this time of the year. It is inspiring that the first and the last meal of Lent were hosted by Philoptochos, reminding us that charity in the name of Christ should be at the center of all that we do, especially during Great Lent. Philoptochos began with Clean Monday Koulouma, continued on to the Metropolis Lenten Retreat, Loukoumades on Sunday of the Cross, the last Presanctified Dinner, and ended with the Palm Sun- day Luncheon. All the other meals were offered by PTA, GOYA, Bible Study, Choir, Altar Boys and Handmaidens during the presanctified liturgy din- ners, and absolutely all of them benefited those in need both here and in the missionary field. Yes, there is an extraordinary amount of eating during Lent, yet, all of it was offered for charity, for the spread of Orthodoxy in far away lands, to bring comfort and nourishment for those in need. That makes our fast- ing a feast with a purpose. That is after all one of the ARCHANGELSPALM SUNDAY ACADEMY

Official Monthly During this Great Lent, we had the honor to host the Metropolis Community Publication of Philoptochos Retreat, with the keynote speaker being Dr. Vasileia Digi- St. Spyridon diki, who spoke to us of the human trafficking and refugee tragedy of Hellenic Orthodox Church our time. It was a remarkable and truly moving presentation accompa- 12307 S. Ridgeland Avenue nied by the best hosts in our Metropolis, that is our Philoptochos Sister- Palos Heights, IL 60463 hood. Also, at another event hosted by our Philoptochos, we had the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan Nathanael celebrating the Presanctified Liturgy along with the local clergy. During the fellowship, REV. FR. TILEMAHOS Mr. Peter Vichos gave an amazing presentation on the Holy Fire in Jeru- ALIKAKOS salem. The Holy Fire is the flame that appears in the Holy Sepulcher PROTOPRESBYTER and lights the Paschal candle of the Orthodox Patriarch inside the tomb

of Christ. It is the longest recorded and repeated within our Church Office Church and testament to the life and truth of our Orthodox Faith. Also, Hours: Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-2 p.m. during the fellowship, His Eminence gave us his blessing for Holy Week Phone: 708-385-2311 or 2313 Fax: 708-385-0166 and Pascha and instructions that we should work together with the oth- E-mail: [email protected] er local Orthodox parishes so that we can produce more efficient and Web: www.Saint-Spyridon.org effective ministry. To that end, our southside parishes took turns dur-

This was the Parish Council Officers first time that this series of services occurred, and we hope to make it a Frank Kopanis President southside tradition along with the Christian Philoxenia Luncheons that George Papadopoulos Vice-President James Xeros Vice-President started six years ago.

STEWARDSHIP GOALS FOR 2019: 400 STEWARDS Stewardship Invite your family and friends to become Stewards of our parish. Goal: 400

AVERAGE STEWARDSHIP GOAL: $50/month or $600/year Our current average: Stewardship is $415, ranging from $250 to $2,400 annually. 300

Please help us reach our average stewardship goal! 221 Year 200 to date “If you help a poor person in the name of the Lord, you are making a gift and at the same time granting a loan. You are making a gift because you have no expectation of being re- imbursed by that poor person. You are granting a loan because the Lord will settle the ac- count. It is not much that the Lord receives by means of the poor, but He will pay a great 100 deal on their behalf. ‘They who are kind to the poor lend to the Lord’ [Prov. 19:17]” St. Basil the Great. The world is fallen, and there are liars and cheats out there and we are called to go the sec- ond mile, turn the other cheek, give the shirt off my back to those who only ask for my coat, lend without expecting re-payment. Is that being gullible? No, not if you are doing it with your eyes wide open; it is being obedient to the gospel. Wise as serpents does not mean tight a drum… it just means we know the score going into the game, that the deck is stacked against us. And like Jesus, we “play the game” to lose our lives, not save them; to give, not keep; to bear all things, not avoid carrying dead weight; to believe all things, not be suspicious; to hope all things, not be pessimistic. So, yes, once in a while we inadvertently give to someone who really needs and appreciates it, but regardless of that, we need to give, on purpose, not by accident, and without judgment.

We wish to thank the 221 Stewards who have committed their stewardship for 2019. Stewardship materials are available at the church office, in the community hall and on our website. Ευχαριστούμε τους 221 ενορίτες που προσφέρατε την συνδρομή σας για το 2019. Η υποστήριξη όλων είναι 8παραίτητη για την σωστή και θεάρεστη λειτουργία της ενορίας μας. Παρακαλούμε όπως όλοι συμβαλουμε την συνδρομή μας για το νέο έτος. Συμπληρώστε την κάρτα συνδρομής μέ τήν προσφορά σας και βοηθήστε να συνεχίσουμε όλοι μαζί την διακονία της ιεράς κοινότητός μας.

SUNDAY SCHOOL

Christos Anesti! Christ is Risen! As we come closer to the end of our Sunday School year, I would like to thank everyone who helps our program thrive. To all the Sunday School teachers, who share their time and talent weekly and are committed to teaching our Orthodox faith. To the parents, or yiayia and papou, who bring their children or grandchildren and make Sunday School a priority. To the PTA, who are always looking for ways to connect our Sunday School and Greek School students and support us. Dana Vasilakos for organizing the Ora- torical Festival projects and Sunday School retreats and for her support. The list goes on and on, because each of us support Sunday School in a different way. It is only together that we make it a success. Most of our Sunday School teachers have taught for over a decade! That is a true testament to their level of commitment. They serve as role models and play such an important part in the lives of their students. Students will always remember their Sunday School teacher, which is why, I think, many of our teachers choose to come back, year after year. We are truly blessed to have 130 students enrolled in our program. I look forward to our Sunday School family growing and continuing to thrive. On May 5th, we will have our annual Bible Bowl and our last class on the 12th. On May 19th, we will be honoring all of our 8Th grade graduates, High School graduates and College graduates. If you are the parent of a High School or College graduate, please make sure to call the church office to have them included in the bulletin. Graduation Sunday will also be an opportunity to thank all of our teachers and youth ministry leaders. Please make every effort to attend this celebration.
