From the Desk of Father Jon In the Orthodox Church, the last Sunday before Great Lent – the day on which, at Vespers, Lent is liturgically an-
nounced and inaugurated – is called Forgiveness Sunday. On the morning of that Sunday, at the Divine Liturgy, we
hear the words of Christ:
"If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you forgive not men their tres-
passes, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses..." (Mark 6:14-15)
Then after Vespers – after hearing the announcement of Lent in the Great Prokeimenon: "Turn not away Thy face from
Thy child for I am afflicted! Hear me speedily! Draw near unto my soul and deliver it!", after making our entrance into
Lenten worship, with its special memories, with the prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian, with its prostrations – we ask for-
giveness from each other, we perform the rite of forgiveness and reconciliation. And as we approach each other with
words of reconciliation, the choir intones the Paschal hymns, filling the church with the anticipation of Paschal joy.
What is the meaning of this rite? Why is it that the Church wants us to begin Lenten season with forgiveness and recon-
ciliation? These questions are in order because for too many people Lent means primarily, and almost exclusively, a
change of diet, the compliance with ecclesiastical regulations concerning fasting. They understand fasting as an end in
itself, as a "good deed" required by God and carrying in itself its merit and its reward. But, the Church spares no effort in
revealing to us that fasting is but a means, one among many, towards a higher goal: the spiritual renewal of man, his re-
turn to God, true repentance and, therefore, true reconciliation. The Church spares no effort in warning us against a hyp-
ocritical and pharisaic fasting, against the reduction of religion to mere external obligations. As a Lenten hymn says:
In vain do you rejoice in no eating, O soul!
For you abstain from food,
But from passions you are not purified.
If you persevere in sin, you will perform a useless fast.
Now, forgiveness stands at the very center of Christian faith and of Christian life because Christianity itself is, above all,
the religion of forgiveness. God forgives us, and His forgiveness is in Christ, His Son, Whom He sends to us, so that by
sharing in His humanity we may share in His love and be truly reconciled with God. Indeed, Christianity has no other
content but love. And it is primarily the renewal of that love, a return to it, a growth in it, that we seek in Great Lent, in
fasting and prayer, in the entire spirit and the entire effort of that season. Thus, truly forgiveness is both the beginning of,
and the proper condition for the Lenten season.
One may ask, however: Why should I perform this rite when I have no "enemies"? Why should I ask forgiveness from
people who have done nothing to me, and whom I hardly know? To ask these questions, is to misunderstand the Ortho-
dox teaching concerning forgiveness. It is true, that open enmity, personal hatred, real animosity may be absent from our
life, though if we experience them, it may be easier for us to repent, for these feelings openly contradict Divine com-
mandments. But, the Church reveals to us that there are much subtler ways of offending Divine Love. These are indiffer-
ence, selfishness, lack of interest in other people, of any real concern for them -- in short, that wall which we usually
erect around ourselves, thinking that by being "polite" and "friendly" we fulfill God’s commandments. The rite of for-
giveness is so important precisely because it makes us realize – be it only for one minute – that our entire relationship to
other men is wrong, makes us experience that encounter of one child of God with another, of one person created by God
with another, makes us feel that mutual "recognition" which is so terribly lacking in our cold and dehumanized world.
On that unique evening, listening to the joyful Paschal hymns we are called to make a spiritual discovery: to taste of an-
other mode of life and relationship with people, of life whose essence is love. We can discover that always and every-
where Christ, the Divine Love Himself, stands in the midst of us, transforming our mutual alienation into brotherhood.
As l advance towards the other, as the other comes to me – we begin to realize that it is Christ Who brings us together by
His love for both of us.
And because we make this discovery – and because this discovery is that of the Kingdom of God itself: the Kingdom of
Peace and Love, of reconciliation with God and, in Him, with all that exists – we hear the hymns of that Feast, which
once a year, "opens to us the doors of Paradise." We know why we shall fast and pray, what we shall seek during the
long Lenten pilgrimage. Forgiveness Sunday: the day on which we acquire the power to make our fasting – true fasting;
our effort – true effort; our reconciliation with God – true reconciliation.

Special Event
St. Nicholas once again participated in the UNCW
Intercultural Festival on Friday, February 14th, 2015.
This event is open to the public for all to come and
learn about many of the cultures represented by peo-
ple in the Wilmington area. There were displays
from a large number of countries and organizations
along with demonstrations of music and dance. Kitsa
Wiersteiner, chair of the committee, did an excellent
job of organizing our involvement in this wonderful
educational event. We had a beautiful booth with
objects of art that represented various aspects of the
culture of Greece, from religion, to language, to
dress, and of course to food. Many who came to see
our display were able to get their names written in
Greek, thanks to Kathy Dimopoulos, Mary Kaity
Tzanis, Joanne Simotas, and Soula LeRay. Helen
Flowers and Athy Lionikis assisted in setting up the
display and working the event. Our dancers, the Ro-
miosini and Zoyra groups, once again gave wonderful
dance performances. Plan on coming out next year to
join us and to learn about other cultures.
Philoptochos Thalia Kefalas
Philoptochos Happenings
We have had a busy holiday season!
We helped a family from First Fruits Ministry for
Christmas.
We had a successful Vasilopita Auction. We made
$3,200.00. We are giving half to St. Basil’s Acade-
my (an orphanage in New York) and half to the Be-
nevolent Fund.
At our February general meeting, we collected over
50 cereal boxes for the Good Shepherd House.
Thank you to all who contributed! The Good Shep-

We need help this Pascha season….if you can help,
please contact the office or a board member for more
information.
Lastly….. we would like to invite all the ladies of St.
Nicholas to come to our next general meeting on
March 15th after Divine Liturgy.
Youth Catechism Courtney Malahias
“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their
strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they
will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not
grow faint.” Isaiah 40:31
The lenten season is upon us and this is such a beauti-
ful time for reflection and being quiet.
The lenten season is about renewing our strength and
challenging ourselves to increase our prayer life,
almsgiving and fasting. My goal is always to enhance
my prayer life. I find the biggest challenge is making
the time, not finding the time. The time is
there…….I just need to carve it out. Our classrooms
will be focusing on Great Lent and how to make
these adjustments to our lives.
Sunday Church School is going well and we have
much to be thankful for. Our teachers are amazing
and dedicated and our children are making us proud!

I wanted to take this time to let you all know that we
have added a class to our program. Our little ones
aged 3-5, led by various parents, are holding a class in
the hall with activities and bible stories. I am so proud
of this group of parents who have taken this on. It
makes my heart smile!
Thank you to our teachers and students who helped
make Valentine cards for the Golden Agers and our
parishioners who are homebound. You helped bright-
en their day!
Our teachers will be meeting this month to share ideas
and improve our lessons! We are always learning and
growing together!
As I write this, some of our children are preparing
their speeches for the St. John Chrysostom Oratorical

bless all the children who are participating.

O&E Co-Chairs of Family Outreach Event
The Outreach and Evangelism Ministry hosted a com-

ruary 8, 2015. The goal of the event was to reach out
to those family members or friends, who may struggle
with regular attendance. Angie's Catering graciously
prepared and delivered a delicious Chicken Florentine,
rice pilaf, salad, and lemon pie meal, which was
served to approximately 100 guests by our wonderful
GOYAs. O&E Ministry members and several other
parishioners worked diligently to prepare Hellenic
Hall, the entertainment, and the food to ensure a pleas-
ant experience for the guests. During the meal, guests
were treated to a video presentation of 2014 Parish
highlights and an interesting presentation by OCMC
Annual Gifts Officer, Kenny Kidd, that spotlighted the
work of the Orthodox Christian Ministry Center.
Thank You to all who helped organize and execute
this event.
Gratitude
A Special Thank You to All
We would like to share some very good news with all
of you. If you remember, we did a stem cell donor
drive at church a year and a half ago for our niece,
Marina Sampanes Peed, who had been suffering with
a rare blood cancer (myelofibrosis) for over 13 years.
A donor was found and she had the stem cell trans-
plant at the end of August of 2013. On January 27th of
this year she received the best news; 551 days after
her stem cell transplant, her report came back that she
was in remission. We would like to thank everyone
for their prayers and kind words during this difficult
time. Marina also sends her sincere thank you. As
her doctors said “science can go just so far, prayer can
go all the way”. If you are called upon to be a donor,
we hope that you will give it serious consideration so
that another family can one day receive this good
news.
Sincerely, Emmanuel and Athanasia Lionikis
Thank you from our Community
A big thank you goes out to all the Sunday School
students who made Valentine’s Day cards for both
our Golden Agers who attended the February For-
ever Young luncheon and for the senior residents of
Cedar Cove. You all really brightened their day.
Also, we want to thank the dancers from Romiosini
and Zoyra who performed for the Cedar Cove resi-
dents on Valentine’s Day. Thank you for doing to
the dancers and their parents for organizing this
amazing service project for the seniors who bright-
en our lives. Thank you again. They appreciated all
that was done for them. Thank you for doing this
amazing service outreach project!!
Congratulations
For all the people celebrating their birthday, anniver-
sary, and name day in the month of March may you
have many happy years! Many Happy Years!
Sympathies and Memorials
We extend our deepest sympathy to the family of
Konstandinos “Gus” Tsingelis. Gus fell asleep in the
Lord on February 5, 2015. May his memory be
eternal!
With the Saints, give rest to the souls of Your servants, where there is no pain, sorrow, or suffering, but life
eternal.

Stewardship Debra Rallis
Free to BE Generous
February 11, 2015 by Fr. Barnabas Powell
There’s one sure way for any politician to get an applause line in a stump speech. All he or she has to do is say
“I support our troops!” And rightly so. The brave men and women who serve in our military perform a vital
function in the preservation of our liberty, and we, as a nation, should always show our gratitude for their sac-
rificial service.
The truth is freedom isn’t free, and it never has been. Freedom, in a world so easily gripped by domination,
ego, and self-interest, is always hard won and must be diligently guarded.
What is true of our constitutional government, is also true of our spiritual lives. Our freedom from the slav-
ery of our own undisciplined desires requires us to “fight”, to war against, the entropy of slavery so unnatural-
ly present in our selfish hearts. We must be transfigured away from this decay of soul if we ever hope to pull
out of the gravitational tug toward the baser existence of our lives.
One of the greatest enemies of our spiritual freedom, and even our political freedom is the cancer of greed. A
lack of a purposeful and deliberate development of a spirit of generosity is THE quickest way to become
slaves to our selfishness. But, that isn’t our true self. We all know that generosity is always best. We KNOW
it. You know it. Don’t you?
In today’s Gospel Lesson our Lord Jesus teaches His disciples the central principle about developing a gener-
ous heart and mind. Look at In Matthew 10:1, 5-8:
“At that time, Jesus called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to
cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity. These twelve Jesus sent out, charging
them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost
sheep of the house of Israel. And preach as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal
the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without
pay.”
The Lord instructs His disciples to get out there and start spreading spiritual freedom around to everyone.
Notice, first He gives them the power to do this work and then He tells them to get to it. But He ends His in-
structions with a phrase that reveals the heart of the matter AND the path to continue having the power to do
this work of spiritual freedom. He tells them “You received without paying, give without pay.” (Matthew
10:8)
A spirit of generosity will never be truly present based on sentimentality or pity. Those emotions and motiva-
St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church March 2015
10
tions can and do create the opposite effect – bitterness and resentment. No, true generosity is always based on
the sure knowledge that what I have has been a blessing from God. Even the energy and intellect I possess
to be productive and achieve is given to me, not earned! I can certainly develop, and should develop, my gifts,
but even that strength to do that is a gift from God! Generosity will only exist in a heart convinced that “I am
a debtor to love.” The disciples were meant to do all this good work based on the eternal truth that what I have
been given MUST be given away if I am ever going to enjoy what I’ve been given! In fact, I won’t be able to
keep what I’ve been given if I don’t give it away!
It is the paradox of true generosity that it is giving away what I’ve been given that allows me to enjoy what
I’ve been given.
In a world where “he who dies with the most toys wins” mentality tends to dominate, this mindset of generos-
ity seems naive and foolish. To be sure, it does appear that way. But if I am ever going to be free, truly, spirit-
ually, free, I am going to have to abandon the hoarder mentality and realize that freedom isn’t free. The
price I must pay for my freedom is a willingness to be generous. Without this central principle in my life, I
will remain a slave.
Today, are you a generous person? It is insightful that when you hear this, your first thought will be about
money. And that is a primary icon of our generosity. But I have witnessed very poor people being generous;
generous with their time, their love, their patience, and their understanding. This spirit of generosity will and
must certainly affect your pocketbook, but that is only because it has first transformed your heart and mind.
Today, you have freely received, freely give. Not an option, dear one. Freedom isn’t free. Today, BE generous
and you will be Orthodox on Purpose!
P.S. Fr. Barnabas wants to pass along his gratitude for your wonderful notes of encouragement. The words of
thanks and the words of advice and correction are so very much appreciated. Don’t forget to drop father a
note at [email protected]!
