THE APOLYTIKION (HYMN) OF ST. NICHOLAS

An example of the Faith and a life of humility, as a teacher of abstinence you did inspire and lead your flock, and through the truthfulness of your deeds were exalted by greatness, through your humility uplifting all and by poverty gaining wealth. Father and hierarch Nicholas, intercede with Christ our God that our souls may be saved.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear Friends,

As  we bid goodbye to 2009 and welcome 2010, I wish to extend the gratitude  of the 2009 St. Nicholas Parish Council to all of you for your support  of our  Church.

The  coming of a new year is a time for reflection, celebration and hope.   As we look back on the past year and all that has taken place, I  hope we remember each experience for the good that has come of it and  for the knowledge we have  gained.

STEWARDSHIP

“GATHER MY PEOPLE HOME”
COME AND SEE

In the Gospel of John we read of the calling of the diciples...Philip finds Nathaniel, and said to him, “We have found him, of whom Moses in teh law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”  And Nathaniel said to him, “Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?”  Philip said to him, “Come and See.”  (John 1:45-46)

Message about Stewardship

Dear Fellow Parishioners in Christ:
     On the nightly news tonight they featured a story about religion in America. The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life completed a large nation-wide study and basically found that the percentage of church attending Americans is down and the percentage of people who do not believe in God at all, is up. This news does not surprise me, but it does sadden me.  Click here to read Presvytera Nancy Joanides entire message

A Reflection on Christian Stewardship
“Do I possess the house in which I live? No, it is only on loan to me from God while I remain in that place. Do I possess the clothes I wear? No, they are on loan to me until they wear out, or until I give them away to someone in greater need. Do I possess this body that you see before you? No, it was lent to me by God when I was born, and he will take it back when I die. Do I possess the mind that is composing the words that I speak? No, that too was lent by God at my birth and will go when I die. So do I possess anything? Yes, I possess the virtues which during my life have grown and flourished within my soul. Inasmuch as I have grown in faith, I possess faith. Inasmuch as I have grown in gentleness, I possess gentleness. These things are immortal; they are divine gifts which God will not take away, because he wants heaven itself to be filled with virtue. And, of course, I possess my soul, in which these virtues have their roots.”
- St John Chrysostom from On Living Simply: The Golden Voice of John Chrysostom
