From the Desk of Father Jon

On Why our soul longs to give to those in need!

This past month has been a flurry of activity! I have never seen any parish pour forth the love and giving that

our St. Nicholas church members have in helping to sponsor the wonderful Congolese family - the Muyoboke

family . They arrived at the Wilmington airport on April 19 – Claude the father, Anualite the mother, their

daughter Justine age 11, their sons, Eritie age 10, Shadrack age 7, and Joshua age 4. They were greeted by at

least a dozen of our St. Nicholas faithful, Gail from Refugee International and an interpreter, Olivier. The

family came to America after a long journey from the country of Congo in Africa. They have come to our

country full of hopes and dreams and we pray all their prayers are answered. A huge thank you to Angela

Dentiste and everyone who stepped up to help from our community.

Their arrival brought to mind the question, why does our soul long to give to those in need? It all begins and

ends with our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ! As we approach the Great and Holy Week in our Ortho-

dox Church, we call to mind and heart the teachings our Lord gave us. On the sermon on the mount Jesus in-

structs us, “Give to him who asks of you, and from him wants to borrow from you do not turn him away.

(Matthew 5:42) But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is

doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you

openly. (Matthew 6:3-4) Love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your re-

ward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. (Luke 6:35) Give, and it will be given to you:

good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the

same measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

Jesus gave all of these most beautiful teachings for us to follow, but did not stop there! Our Lord prophesies

“for the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” (Mark

10:45) Jesus gave His life so that we may have eternal salvation. His resurrection from the dead is confirma-

tion of His complete victory over death and the devil. “Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death

by death, and to those in the tombs, He has granted life.” Paschal Tropoarion.

Thus, it is part of our Orthodox Christian being to give, even to the point of giving up our life to serve the liv-

ing God. The Apostles knew this and taught this in their epistles. St. Paul writing to the Corinthians says,

“He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So

let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2

Cor 9:6 James instructs us, “if a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to

them, ‘Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,’ but you do not give them the things which are needed for the

body, what does it profit? Thus faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, ‘You

have faith, and I have works.’ Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my

works.” James 2:15-18

Our community came together over the past few months to show forth the true spirit of giving to a family we

did not know but came to love because the love Christ is in us! I am infinitely thankful to God and to you.

May the love of Christ in the resurrection be overflowing on May 1st as we cry out, “Christ is risen!”

Love,

Fr. Jon Emanuelson

From the Parish Council President

Barbara Reynolds

Xristos Anesti, Christ is Risen!

It was wonderful to see our church filled for the beautiful Pascha services. I hope everyone felt as spiritually

uplifted as I did. It was so moving to hear the beautiful words and chanting of the services. The flowers on the

icons and the Kouvouklion were beautiful. It all came together as a truly meaningful and spiritual experience. I

would like to thank all the “servants” of our church that made the services so beautiful and the Agape picnic so

delicious and fun. Looking forward I hope to continue to see our church full of Orthodox worshipers. The St.

Nicholas Greek Festival is coming up on May 13 - 15. We need volunteers to help the week before and the

weekend of the Festival. If you are not sure where your help is needed please contact a member of the festival

committee or a parish council member. This is a chance for us to share our faith, our love, our culture and our

great Greek food with the community of Wilmington. See you all there.

In His service

Forever Young Stella Vallianos

In April, Forever Young met as a group and went to see

the new movie, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2.” We had

over 20 people attend and everyone enjoyed the movie.

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, May 3 at 11:00 AM

at the church. Father Jon has an interesting movie to show

us. Please come and bring a covered dish (Lent is over)

and join us for fun and fellowship!

HOPE/JOY Joyce Patsalos, Sophia Brewer, Jaime Saffo,

Renée Karonis Psilos & Connie Ronner

We are gearing up for a busy month in May! First, as

you all know, Greek Festival is quickly approaching

and we really need all HOPE/JOY families to lend a

hand with our snow cone/lemonade stand! We are

going to be sending out a Sign-Up Genius link to

your emails soon, so please be on the look out for

this! We are going to try to do no more than 3-4 kids

per shift with a shift typically being 1-2 hours. We

ask that you don't just drop your kids off at the tent to

work if they are younger than 10. A parent must ac-

company their kids during their shift if they are 9 or

younger!

Next thing on our agenda is our now annual strawber-

ry picking event at Lewis Farms! This is always such

a fun event that is enjoyed by everyone! We are plan-

ning this event for May 22nd, so mark your calen-

dars!

We look forward to hopefully seeing you all at these

upcoming events! In Christ's Service, the Advisors

Romiosini and Zoyra

Christos Anesti. We hope everyone had a lovely

Hellenic Culture Kitsa Wiersteiner

It was so nice to hear how much people enjoyed the

Greek Independence Day program. We are very grate-

ful to everyone who contributed to this wonderful cel-

ebration. We would like to give thanks to the follow-

ing:

Dr. Michael Rallis for his inspiring speech, the Hel-

lenic School teachers and parents for decorating the

Hellenic Center so beautifully and assisting the chil-

dren with their poems along with Dr. Ron Demas and

Dr. Emmanuel Koklanaris.

We are proud of all of the children who worked so

hard with poems, singing, and dancing. Words cannot

express how appreciative we are for Zaharoula, Lucas

Bostic, and Katerina Katsikis for teaching the Zoyra

and Romiosini dancers. We are really thankful for all

your hard work. We also want to thank Nota Dukas

for sewing the authentic Greek costumes. They are

always so beautiful!

Moreover, many thanks to Chris’s Restaurant for pre-

paring the delicious fasting fundraiser luncheon for

the Hellenic School.

Many thanks to Evangelos Fragos, Vasilios Vogiatzis,

and to everyone who assisted Chris and Andy Tsinge-

lis in the kitchen.

Many thanks to Irene Haralambous, Joanne Kares,

Athe Lionikis, Lucy Pekatos, Dena Poulos, Joanne

sters get their certificates.

As a reminder there will be no school on Good Friday,

April 29 and during the Greek Festival, May 13.

The Greek School went on a field trip on a Horse

Drawn Tour of Historical Wilmington on April 15.

We had 14 students and 10 adult chaperons taking

part. The tour was most enjoyable and we all learned

some of the history of Wilmington. Afterwards there

was pizza served at the New York pizza courtesy of

Mr. and Mrs. Karonis to celebrate the birthday of

Evangelos Psilos, their grandson. Overall it was fun

evening for everyone who came.

We are looking for a handyman (or woman) to volun-

teer to help with minor repairs around the church.

We are accepting donations as we continue to improve

our Hellenic Center. Any donations would be greatly

appreciated. Items needed include new banquet

chairs.

Please donate all weekly coupons from newspapers &

IOCC

Our St. Nicholas Community is co-sponsoring a refu-

gee family of 6 from the Republic of Congo. We were

directed to the Interfaith Refugee Ministry (IRM) by

the IOCC.

Although sponsorship is not a financial obligation, the

family will have many needs in the upcoming months

as they will arrive with very few possessions. We will

be collecting clothing as soon as we know their sizes.

Anyone wishing to make a financial contribution, may

make the check payable to St. Nicholas Greek Ortho-

dox Church and specify IOCC Refugee support in the

memo line of your check. Anyone wishing to become

more involved, please contact Angela Dentiste at an-

[email protected] (Put REFUGEE HELP in

the subject line) or 910 508-8775.

Co-sponsorship of a Refugee family from the Dem-

ocratic Republic of Congo.

Last year, during the Syrian Refugee Crisis, we con-

tacted the International Orthodox Christian Charities

(IOCC) headquarters to see what we as a community

could do to help. The IOCC pointed us to the Inter-

faith Refugee Ministry (IRM), which is literally locat-

ed next door to our church, as the organization that

Page 8: May 2016 Monthly Newsletter

St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church May 2016

IOCC works with in refugee support. We learned that

the Syrian refugees would likely not arrive in the USA

soon as the process for screening and accepting refu-

gees into the USA is rigorous and takes 2-3 years

However, there is always a great need for volunteers

to help other refugees as the arrive and settle into Wil-

mington.

The IRM asked us to co-sponsor a family of 6 (a cou-

ple and their 4 children, ages 4-10) from the Demo-

cratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Due to armed con-

flict, the DRC has been the site of some of the worst

violence and human rights violations in the world. In

order to qualify as a refugee, a person must have faced

persecution related to their race, religion, politics or

ethnicity. They must reside outside their native coun-

try.

The IRM is the Sponsor and has ultimate responsibil-

ity for the family. St Nicholas Greek Orthodox

Church has volunteered to be a co-sponsor, meaning

we are assisting in whatever way we can. Anyone

wanting to interact alone with a refugee family MUST

go through a training session and agree to a back-

ground check. We had about 15 church members go

through the training and background checks on Febru-

ary 22. All other volunteers are still able to interact

with the family (and we encourage more involve-

ment!) so long as they are accompanied by one of

these “cleared” people. If you would like to take the

training, please contact Angela Dentiste.

The IRM staff found a 3 bedroom apartment for the

family and signed the lease. Our volunteers were able

to fully furnish the apartment and provide basic house

hold necessities as well as a week’s worth of food.

We welcomed the family at the airport on April 19

and brought them to their apartment where we had a

hot meal waiting for them. Individual volunteers will

be taking them to appointments in the coming weeks

to help them settle in.

As we continue to support the family, it will be im-

portant to spend time with them, to show them around

Wilmington, help them with practicing English, assist-

ing with finding employment, registering for school,

etc. They are legal residents and will get work per-

mits. There is no financial obligation on our part, but

assistance is always welcome as the family is required

to pay back the all of their travel costs and other ex-

penses of settling in Wilmington. The goal is to spon-

sor the family for the transition period of about 6

months. If you would like to make monetary dona-

tions, please make the check payable to St Nicholas

Greek Orthodox Church and put refugees in the notes

section.

We will be inviting them to some of our events, so if

you see them around say hello or Hodi (Swahili).

They do not speak English yet.

For more information or donations, please contact An-

gela Dentiste at [email protected]. Put

REFUGEE HELP in the subject line.

Volunteers from St. Nicholas and a Translator went to

welcome the refugee family at the airport.
