Beloved in the Lord,

Χριστός Ανέστη! Αληθώς Ανέστη!

Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!

Two weeks ago we celebrated the glori-ous Resurrection from the dead of our Lord and Savior Je-sus Christ. After a long, prayerful and solemn Holy Week, we gathered at mid-night and received

the light from the Unwaning Light. Then we sang Christos Anesti with all our strength, and em-braced one another in the love of our Risen Lord. During the Service of Matins we heard the beauti-ful prayer (copied in the next paragraph), which summarizes our belief in Christ and calls us to ac-tion. That is, to worship the holy Resurrection of Christ. Let us then continue to fill our church and keep the Light of the Resurrection burning while singing praises to God and “blessing Him in con-gregations-εν εκκλησιαις ευλογειτε τόν Θεόν!”

Having seen the Resurrection of Christ, let us worship the Holy Lord Jesus, the only sinless one. Your Cross do we worship, O Christ, and Your holy Resurrection do we hymn and glorify. For You are our God, we know no other but You, we call upon Your name. Come all the faithful, let us worship the holy Resurrection of Christ; for be-hold through the Cross, joy has come in all the world. Ever blessing the Lord, we extol His Resur-rection. For enduring the Cross for us, He de-stroyed death by death.

May the joy of the Resurrection continue to fill our hearts and minds so that we may fill the House of God and He, in turn, will fill it and us with His Glory!

Χριστός Ανέστη! Αληθώς Ανέστη!

Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!

Soon our community will be coming to-gether to welcome thousands of people to our an-nual Greek festival! This cannot happen without the active and dedicated support of each and every one of you. Please give a stewardship of your time and talent. Be one of the many invalu-able volunteers who give of themselves and work hard to make our festival a fun and inviting event for our guests and for all of us. Be a good host by demonstrating and extending our warm and wel-coming Hellenic hospitality with a smile! Share our tasty foods and delicious desserts with friends and neighbors. Our culture, cuisine, music and dance are exciting and fun! However, these are not the only things our guests are coming to experience. Our cathedral and chapel will be open for tours, presentations and talks throughout each day of the festival. We thus have an opportunity to share the crowning jewel of our heritage and witness the Holy Gospel in light of our Orthodox faith!

So, what can you do? Sign up for a volun-teer shift or two. Sign up in advance so your nametag will be ready. Let high schoolers know that working at our festival counts toward required volunteer hours for graduation. Friends, neighbors, and family can help so please invite them to sign up for a shift! If you are homebound or unable to help physically, you might want to help with the volunteer committee by calling and organizing the volunteers. And, for each and every one of us, please keep our precious community and our festival in your daily prayers that it may be blessed by our newly Risen Lord and Savior to be a spiritually and materially fruitful endeavor!

See you at the Festival! + Fr. George

Doubt: What is it good for? By Thomas Manuel

“Jesus said to him, ‘Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have

believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’”

(John 20:29)

We all doubt, it is part of what makes us humans and free. There are two sides

to freedom: belief and doubt. Doubt unto itself is not evil, but rather a natural

aspect of humanity that helps us to question the world around us. In fact,

doubt help push us to explore, to discover what is over the next horizon. If Co-

lumbus had not doubted the conventional wisdom of his day that the world was flat he would not have

discovered the Americas. If scientists never doubts the established theories of their day, there are

never advancements in our understanding of the universe. Doubt, and the freedom that comes from it,

helps to drive forward humankind and is part of what it means to be human. Doubt is a part of the

natural progression of growing up and desiring a deeper understanding of the world around us, includ-

ing our faith.

I reiterate, It is a sin to doubt, to question and to desire to know more about

our faith. It is natural in a young person’s life to sit back and to analyze and question

their faith. We should not be ashamed to doubt and to question our beliefs. Problems

arise when we hide our doubts and questions within ourselves and do not seek sin-

cere and mature answers from those who are knowledgeable. In any circumstance

or issue, doubt should not control our decisions exclusively. We should not allow

doubt to dictate the rules and beliefs of our lives without careful and honest investi-

gation of the matter at hand. Doubt, questioning and curiosity may drive someone to

study if there is any life on Mars. After they have gone through all of the evidence

though and found that there is no life on Mars, one should not continue to dwell upon

doubt and allow it to control their understanding of the issue. The same goes in our

faith. To question and to doubt our Christian faith means that we need more mature and fully devel-

oped answers. It does not mean that we succumb to the control of the doubt and allow it to rule our un-

derstanding of our faith.

Just recently we celebrated Thomas Sunday, where our faith in Christ is affirmed through the

doubt of St. Thomas. He is known by many as doubting or unbelieving (ἄπιστος) Thomas, and for this

many people have joked with me that my patron saint is a man who struggled to believe Christ’s resur-

rection. Far though from being ashamed of St. Thomas’ doubt, I rejoice and celebrate it! His doubt has

been a comfort and a guide for my own questions about the faith. Thomas had the human inclination to

doubt, to question the evidence given to him. He must have asked himself on hearing of the resurrec-

tion from the other apostles, "How it is that a man crucified and killed just three days prior could now be

alive and well? It is outside the realm of my understanding and experience." Yet he did not allow this

doubt to rule him and overcome him, but rather when presented with the appropriate evidence he cried

out, “My Lord and my God.” (John 20:28) His doubt serves for us as a model for how we are to investi-

gate our faith and also to assist us in our own questions about the faith. the doubt

of St. Thomas is a prototype and example of our own doubts before the Lord.

Though he doubted, on seeing the Lord he believed. Christ says to all of us who

have not physically behold Him, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet

have believed.” (John 20:29) Do not shy from your human urge to discover and

explore the world around you! It is healthy and human to want to know more. But

do not forget St. Thomas and his blessed doubting which serves as an example

and a comfort to all of us. Though when you do doubt, do not submit to it, but in-

stead use it to propel your faith forward.

Anonymous Donor

As spring is now in full swing, Philoptochos prepares for elections, the festival, and planning for

next year. We thank our church parishioners and Philoptochos members for their generous support of

$1,660 towards the St. Nicholas Shrine, for their contribution of $714 to the Metropolis Social Services

Fund requested by His Eminence Metropolitan Evangelos, and for their free will donation of $276 towards

our chapter’s commitment to help with autism.

At our March meeting, members heard from Carey Clow, the ForKids representative, who dis-

cussed the needs of their many homeless families in the Hampton Roads area. Philoptochos will be

planning and organizing various events with our church groups to assist this worthy local charity in help-

ing these children and parents.

May 9th will be our last meeting for the year. Elections will take place at this time for the 2015-

2017 Board of Directors. Please call Effie Michaels to RSVP by May 6. There will be several board va-

cancies to fill, and we’re looking for committee chairpersons as well, so this is your chance to step up and

share your talents.

Philoptochos belongs to all women, and together we can make a difference in the lives of many.

From a few flowers grows a beautiful garden. It is a time to vote and a time to volunteer your precious

talents which are needed and appreciated.

Thanking you for a great year and wishing you a safe and restful summer.

Sisters in Christ,

JoAnna Goumenis, President Shelley Almyrantis, Corresponding Secretary

HOPE/JOY

Xristos Anesti!

What a wonderfully blessed year we’ve had with all of our Hope/Joy families. We thank you for making this another great year. As the year progresses it is always so amazing to see our children grow and flourish under God’s direction. The last two months have taught us all how to make Koliva and Why and How we as Orthodox celebrate the glorious resurrection of our Lord. As we round out the school year we have two events coming up. On May 2nd at 3pm we invite all of our Hope/Joy children and their mother’s to join us for a fun craft and tea and cookies. We will also learn about the most blessed and glorious The-otokos, mother to us all. In June we would love to have all of our Hope/Joy families join us on June 14th at 1:30 pm for a fun Sunday afternoon with the Norfolk Tides. Please RSVP for this event to Anna by June 1st at the latest so that we can reserve spots. Admission prices for tickets will be available in the Sunday bulletin. What a fun way to end the school year!

As we plan summer events we will list them in the Sunday Bulletin or email families. Please contact us if you are not receiving emails from either Anna or Kelly. As always, please do not hesitate to contact either one of us for questions, concerns or ways to get involved.

In His Service,

Anna & Kelly

PHILOPTOCHOS

St. Justin Martyr: A Christian Philosopher

Justin was born around 100 (both his birth and death

dates are approximate) at Flavia Neapolis (ancient Shechem,

modern Nablus) in Samaria (the middle portion of Israel, be-

tween Galilee and Judea) of pagan Greek parents. He was

brought up with a good education in rhetoric, poetry, and his-

tory. He studied various schools of philosophy in Alexandria

and Ephesus , joining himself first to Stoicism, then Pythago-

reanism, then Platonism, looking for answers to his ques-

tions. While at Ephesus, he was impressed by the steadfast-

ness of the Christian martyrs, and by the personality of an

aged Christian man whom he met by chance while walking

on the seashore. This man spoke to him about Jesus as the

fulfillment of the promises made through the Jewish prophets. Justin was overwhelmed.

"Straightway a flame was kindled in my soul," he writes, "and a love of the prophets and

those who are friends of Christ possessed me." Justin became a Christian, but he con-

tinued to wear the cloak that was the characteristic uniform of the professional teacher

of philosophy. His position was that pagan philosophy, especially Platonism, is not simply

wrong, but is a partial grasp of the truth, and serves as "a schoolmaster to bring us to

Christ." He engaged in debates and disputations with non-Christians of all varieties, pa-

gans, Jews, and heretics. He opened a school of Christian philosophy and accepted stu-

dents, first at Ephesus and then later at Rome. There he engaged the Cynic philosopher

Crescens in debate, and soon after was arrested on the charge of practicing an author-

ized religion. (It is suggested that Crescens lost the debate and denounced Justin to the

authorities out of spite.) He was tried before the Ro-

man prefect Rusticus, refused to renounce Christi-

anity, and was put to death by beheading along with

six of his students, one of them a woman. St. Justin

can teach us in our modern day of science and

technology that there is wisdom and beauty in the

known world that we live in, but that if we are seek-

ing after ultimate Truth and Wisdom, then for that

we must look to God! “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the

way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Fa-

ther except through Me.’” (John 14:6)
