Their marriage is scheduled to take The Monks Spyridon and Nicodemus are popularly known as the Prosphora-bakers of the Kiev Caves. They spent thirty years at the Monastery of the Kiev Caves baking Prosphora, the bread transformed into the Body of Christ in the Divine Liturgy. For centuries, and still in a number of Churches, the Prosphora would be baked by a member of the parish as an offering of the people. This was the work of Spyridon and Nicodemus in the 12 th Century. Spyridon carried out his work in and out of the kitchen with the singing of Psalms and continuous prayer. Even though Spyridon was unable to read, with all his time in the services of the Church, he learned all of the Psalms by heart. At one time, a great fire broke out from the oven and with only his mantle in his hand, Spyridon blotted out the entire fire. The Mantle was miraculously unharmed. O Holy Fathers, pray to God for us! place here at St. Nicholas Orthodox Church on Saturday, December 3 rd, 2016 at 2:00 pm.

4 MICHAEL MCAUSLAND ELIZABETH K. ANDREW MCAUSLAND ABIGAIL PETRIK NADIA RYAN CLAIRE RYAN ACT 1 Julia Clemente was one of the official Talent Show Master of Ceremonies. She, Julia Timko and Olga Horbal introduced each act and congratulated the performance at its conclusion. Great job to all of you! The 2016 Talent Show started with a stirring rendition of New York, New York complete with kicks at the end! Michael McAusland was our first act as he played Tic-Tac- Toe and Swinging Along on the keyboard. Thank you to Andrew Koss who expertly accompanied our singers on the keyboard.

5 Christina, Olga, Julia beautifully sang the classic Červena Ruža (Red Rose). Abigail Petrik sang Love Yourself by Justin Beiber. We believe in you, Abigail! Altar boy Kevin Rusinak and soon-tobe altar boy John Gajdos signed a napkin contract with His Grace, Bishop Gregory to become priests one day. All of us got to see how serious these two take this commitment. Our service ended with announcements and a collection. Perfect! Gabriela Gajdos and Katelyn Rusinak performed a dance routine complete with gymnastic moves to Fireball by Pitbull. Love the costumes! Fr. William & Pani Ileana did a rousing version of the ultimate geography song: The Nations of the World. Verginia Ganfalean skillfully played Ode to Joy and Hot Cross Buns on her recorder. While Anastasia Koss took us to one part of their song by playing an inspiring and beautiful YouTube video presentation of her time and travels in China, Japan, Seoul and other Asian countries. Wow.

6 And now, it is Luke Petricha with the news! One of the highlights of the Talent Show is a lighthearted News Update including the important news at St. Nicholas Church. (adeptly written by Justine Gidicsin). Luke reported about Coffee Mike Kelcho, who we hope never leaves. There was an investigative report on Fr. William, with background provided by his Mom, Victoria. Breaking news was the start of a St. Nicholas Mentoring program. Unfortunately, Charlie Gaydos was having trouble with one of his altar boys, John Busel. George Chobor has a young chef in training. Alexander Ioukliaevskikh is currently a Jr. Battle Chef Champion. Alex appears in a Time Magazine Cooking with Kids segment on YouTube video which was shown during the News broadcast. ACT 2 Kevin Rusinak sang the haunting song Heathens by Twenty One Pilots. The song advises a person to talk about Christ to the singer s friends, the heathens by taking it slow and getting to know their struggles first. Julia Clemente, a winner of the prestigious Crescendo International Music Competition expertly played The Return, a classical musical piece by Freidrich Burgmüller. Gabriela Gajdos treated us to the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies from the Nutcracker Ballet. Gabriela played Clara Stahlbaum, the main character in the 2015 performance of the Nutcracker by her dance troupe. Alex represented the NY Boys Club, Harriman House and was selected for this honor by his peers. Way to go Alex! New this year was the addition of a commercial break. If your refrigerator breaks down who are you going to call St. Nicholas Church is blessed to have its very own Andrews Sisters. The Clemente girls sang the girl anthem song This is Me, by Demi Lovato. Julia Timko and Anastasia Koss sang the song H.O.L.Y. by the Florida Georgia Line (High on Loving You)

7 Andrew McAusland is a two-time winner of the prestigious Crescendo International Music Competition. He played two pieces a more contemporary piece by Billy Joel, The Longest Time and the classical Solfeggietto by CPE Bach. Johnny Gajdos ended the 2016 Talent Show and brought down the house with his version of Uptown Funk, by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars Don t believe, just watch We believe you, Johnny you are one fantastic dancer. The finale by the entire cast was What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong. What a wonderful afternoon. Thank you all for bringing so much joy to the audience by sharing your talents. We can t wait for next year.
