1 SEPTEMBER/ Δ ªμƒπO 2015 KOINONIA Message from Fr. Michael L. Pastrikos, Protopresbyter New Beginnings... I would like to wish everyone in the parish a happy month of September. To me the month of September when you see the leaves change from green to the bright colors gives me the season of hope. September is a month in the Church calendar that celebrates on September 1, of every year the beginning of the new Ecclesiastical Year. It has also been designated by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America under the spiritual Leadership of His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios as EARTH DAY or GREEN DAY. If we look back from last September till today, I can say that the St. Nicholas Community is growing and improving day by day. Throughout this year we saw old and new faces working together. It was great to see thousands of people coming to church with their families experiencing that our faith in Christ is growing. There hasn t been a Sunday that our church was not filled and even through the summer months the attendance in church has been amazing. Continuing on, I think that everyone had a great time during the Greek festival. I saw many new faces working the booths, the kitchen, the dining room and many other areas of the festival. It s great to see the support from our young adults. I would like to personally thank our festival Chairmen, Frank Mitsos and John Korologos for the months of preparations that went into making this festival once again a great success. I would like to thank the committee chairpersons, members, volunteers, and sponsors that truly helped to put on this festival. I also would like to thank all our young people especially our Goyan s, the Hellenic Dancers, Ellinakia Dancers, Greek school Dancers and their instructors for their wonderful performances throughout the festival. There are so many people and Organizations to thank especially the Ladies who for five months were preparing the delicious food and pastries that were sold at the festival. To all the Organizations who sponsored the festival baking sessions, and donated all the ingredients that went into making the delicious food. God Bless all of you. To the officers and members of the St. Nicholas Parish, to our financial team and all of our cashiers who collected the monies from the festival, I thank you for your dedication and service. A job well done!! Thank you to all our wonderful and dedicated volunteers along with our Security team for spending many hours securing all the locations of the festival and keeping our community and neighborhood safe. I also would like to thank the festival Raffle Committee for dedicating months before the festival to sell the tickets. This is not an easy task; the Raffle committee plays an important part in the financial success of our festival. Thank you Maria Salpeas our Church Secretary and her staff of volunteers, for their dedicated work and service. This year we had a pleasant surprise. His Eminence Metropolitan Evangelos of New Jersey gave his blessings to bring the Holy Icon of the Panagia Ipseni from Lardos, Rhodes to our church. Multiple services were celebrated from morning to night. Hundreds of people gathered to give honor and tribute to our Mother of God each day. I would like to thank Mother Mariam the Abyss of the Monastery, and Sister Kassiani for bringing the Holy Icon of the Panagia Ipseni to Baltimore. This event was one of the highlights of the year for our parish. Strolling down memory lane, we also had the pleasure of celebrating our 60th Church Anniversary. Over 700 people attended this jubilant celebration and it brought back a lot of wonderful memories to the parishioners of our Community. I would like to thank on behalf of the parish, Mrs. Nora Kefalas and her hard working committee members for not only planning this event, but making it the greatest event ever attended. These are just a few events that took place during the year. If I had to write down all the activities that our parish goes through during the year, there wouldn t be enough room on this newsletter to express our yearly schedule and events that our Church and Organizations go through throughout the year. September is also the month that everything begins in the church. Our families are back from their vacations, our kids are in school, and our church organizations are ready to start fresh their schedules and activities. We are welcoming back, the members of our St. Nicholas Byzantine Choir, our Chantors, our Philoptochos Members, our St. Nicholas Diamond s, our Goyan s along with their Advisors, our JOY group along with their Advisor, our YAL group, our Sunday School Teachers, Faculty, and Students, the officers and members of our Greek school PTA, the Greek School Teachers and Students, our Hellenic, Ellinakia, and CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 GREEK ORTHODOX ARCHDIOCESE OF AMERICA METROPOLIS OF NEW JERSEY

2 2 K O I N ø N I SEPTEMBER 2015 MESSAGE FROM THE PARISH PRESIDENT Dear Parishioners, The Saint Nicholas Church is moving forward, and we want all of our parishioners to be informed. Starting in mid-september, 2015, we will be opening the Saint Nicholas Bilingual Early Education Center. As I write this letter to you, the staff is busy setting up and preparing for the new school year. Look for future information regarding an open house. Also, we are actively seeking qualified teachers and aides. If you know someone that may be interested, please have them contact Parish Council Board Member, Vasilios Argiropoulos at vasilis110@aol.com. Furthermore, we are actively looking to hire a Youth and Young Adult Ministry Director to develop programs and guide our ministries. A job description is posted on the church bulletin board and will soon be posted on-line. In addition to a Youth Director, we are also seeking an administrator for the Plateia. Again, the job description is posted on the church bulletin board and will soon be posted on-line. We have also seen a very busy spring and summer when projects have been undertaken: 1. Painting the Greek School office, classrooms, and hallways. 2. Installation of new photo-copying machines in the Greek School and main office. 3. Installation of a new floor in one of the Greek School classrooms. 4. Purchase and installation of 5 Prometheans Boards for the Greek School and Early Education Center. 5. Professional cleaning and waxing of all the floors in the Greek School classrooms and hallways. 6. Professional cleaning and waxing of the floors in the large and small hall. 7. Painting and repair of the outside of the market in preparation of the opening of the new Early Education Center. Outside awnings will be installed in the near future. 8. Installation of new flooring in the Early Education Center to meet Baltimore City codes. 9. Purchase and installation of brand new furniture for the Early Education Center in accordance with Baltimore City codes. 10. Painting of the gym, installation of a new basketball hoops and new regulation flooring will be completed by the end of September, Painting of the stairwells in the church and school building 12. Currently in the process of replacing all the heating and air conditioning units of the church. 13. Replacement of the Atrium and Early Education Center roofs as well as repair of the church roof and fascia. 14. Installation of carpet on the 2nd floor of the Plateia. 15. Re-striping of the church parking lot. Future Projects include: 1. Painting the outside of the church. 2. Renovation of the restrooms throughout the church. None of this would be possible without the generous donation from an anonymous donor and donations from several families within the St. Nicholas Community. These funds were earmarked specifically for the church facilities and for the improvement of our Greek School and the advancement of the Saint Nicholas Bilingual Early Education Center. Your continued stewardship pledges and involvement in our church are still greatly needed. We will be holding a General Assembly meeting on Sunday, September 20, 2015 to discuss our progress as well as nominate individuals to the Parish Council. Serving as a member of the Parish Council is a privilege and a honor. Please consider giving of yourself. We are looking for individuals with a strong desire to serve as well as individuals who can think outside the box and help us grow in our faith and commitment to spread the word of our Lord Jesus, Christ.Thank you. In Christ, Demos Anastasiades, Parish Council President MHNYMA TOY ƒo ƒoà Δ Oπ OΔ Δ Á appleëùô ÓÔÚ Ù : ı Ï Ì fiï Ù Ì ÏË Ì Ó Â Ó È ÂÓËÌÂÚˆÌ Ó fiùè Ë ÎÎÏËÛ ÙÔ Á Ô ÈÎÔÏ Ô appleúô ˆÚÂ.

We are gearing up to face another challenging year, which will include the opening of our new Learning Center. It should be up and running this month. I would like to challenge all the parishioners who have the ability to advertise our new Learning Center. I have always learned that the best way to advertise is by word of mouth. If you know of any families that could register their children to our Learning Center please contact the church office so we can accommodate them. ÂappleÙÂÌ Ú Ô, Ì Ûˆ ÌÂÙ ÙËÓ Â ÂÈÙÔ ÚÁ.

I hope and pray that by the Grace of God, we can accomplish this great task together. In order for us to accomplish this major task, we need the help of our parishioners. We can t do this over night, but we can accomplish this if we work together. If you are scheduling a Baptism, a Wedding, a Makaria Luncheon, a Birthday Party, a Sweet Sixteen Party, an Anniversary, or any kind of event, please look into booking our Plateia for your event. We have a wonderful facility that can hold up to (400 to 500) people on the second floor and (150 to 175) on the first floor.

8 8 K O I N ø N I SEPTEMBER 2015 September, 2015 Dear Parents and/or Guardians, I would like to welcome you to our Greek School and wish you a healthy and prosperous academic year. All the teachers of our school, and I as the President of the Greek School, hope to meet up with the needs and expectations of both, you, as parents, and the students. We are proud to present a well organized curriculum this year, with staff well trained in educational skills and having a fluency in Greek, as all of our teachers are born and raised in Greece. As the acquisition of fluency in a foreign language is a rather complex process, it is required that both parts, us as a school and the kids as students, are accountable, so that the best results are accomplished. Therefore, it is going to be a process that requires a lot of work in class, first and foremost, but also a good preparation at home is essential. For these reasons, we consider the relation of teacher-parents as a relation of collaboration and constructive feedback for both sides, and we will do our best to work towards this direction. This year, we are also hoping to form 3 classes of Ellinomatheia: -Ellinomatheia 1 (A1-A2) -Ellinomatheia 2 (B1) -Ellinomatheia 3 (f1) These classes will prepare our students for the Final Exams of Language Literacy, and according to the level they will succeed at, they can manage to get College credits, or even a teaching license, once succeeding in the Exam of 2- level. It is important for all the parents to consider supporting their children for these exams, since they provide, not only a better knowledge of the language, but also a well-recognized degree they can use later on in their life. Please, contact me for further information. I hope this year will be creative and joyful for everyone! The school year will begin with the Blessing within the first 2 weeks of September, and student registration will also take place in the church, starting September 2nd. You can send or bring the registration form in the Church Office anytime, within the summertime. The following are enclosed in the envelope: - One Student Registration Form - The Weekly Program - The Annual Program I am looking forward to dynamic school year and I expect to meet you all at school!
