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.

Stewardship Pledge Card/Form. Stewardship Status Update 12-31-09 Stewardship Committee Meets on 1st Wednesday of each month at 6:30 PM Next meeting Wednesday, Mar. 10th (rescheduled). 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 UPCOMING EVENTS CLICK HERE TO LINK TO OUR COMMUNITY’S CALENDAR!!
