.―And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and

some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers.‖

Ephesians 4:11

T he ministry of the Clergy is indeed important in

the Orthodox Church, but where would the

Church be today without her important ministry

of the laity? I would like to write about two important

ministries that were recognized by our church last

month.

The first is the Orthodox Christian Fellowship.

What's happening today with Orthodox ministry is

very exciting and optimistic. It reminds me of the New

Frontier that we heard about shortly after the discovery

of the "New World" by Christopher Columbus. When I

was in elementary school, I remember learning a song

that started with the words, "In 1492, Columbus sailed

the ocean blue." I remember celebrating Columbus as

the visionary explorer who proved the world was

round, when everyone else thought it was flat. I

remember Columbus's courage being cited, as he kept

on sailing westward, even though his panicked crew

was convinced they would sail off the edge of the

earth, or that a sea monster would swallow their ship. I

remember a school book picture showing Columbus

planting a cross on the beach and claiming it for

Ferdinand and Isabella.

Columbus, the "Admirable Admiral," was one of my

childhood heroes. He is a hero to most Americans. I

mention Columbus, because I feel what we are doing

here today is of a similar character: Orthodox

Christians united together to preach and spread

Orthodoxy to a ―new world.‖ It may not be the world

of Columbus, but it is a new world from the

motherlands from which Orthodoxy originated. Like

Columbus, our ancestors were pioneers who had

discovered a new land and rediscovered in this new

land their original homeland in God. And now it's up

to us to take the torch and pass it on to our youth.

In doing so, there are many challenges we face in

today's world, not only trying to preach Orthodoxy in a

mostly secular society, but also to keep our youth

connected to their faith. We must learn ways to spread

our faith in this new land and acclimate our youth to

American society, without them losing their faith.

These are the challenges we all face as clergy, teachers,

and parents.

In my eyes, the OCF is groundbreaking for this

reason. It is not only an organization that reaches out

to our college students, it uniquely has students reach

out to other students, which is what makes it such a

successful ministry, keeping our orthodox youth

connected to their faith at a time when they are

developing their own social identities.

The second ministry I would like to acknowledge,

since October was National Church Music Month, is

the Church choir. The sacred hymnology of the Church

is an extremely important element of Church services

and Church life because it is what brings us closer to

God. As St. Gregory of Palamas states, ―Whoever

attunes himself and studies the meaning of sacred

songs from the beginning to end will find himself

approaching God.‖ All the teaching and theology of

the Church is incorporated in the sacred hymns, which

are so beautifully communicated to us through our

Choir and Chanters. Just as an authentic icon makes

visible for us, the invisible Kingdom of God, so too,

authentic Church music makes audible for us the

inaudible song of the angels around the throne of God.

Orthodox Church music raises the eyes of our hearts to

see the True Light and lifts up our hearts to receive the

Heavenly Spirit as we worship the undivided Trinity in

the Kingdom, which is not of this world.

Sometimes, we take for granted the work that goes

into preparing a choir and leading the church in

worship. The leadership of the choir and the choir

itself must learn these artistic expressions in the ways

they have been traditionally done, while also adapting

to our own church and liturgy. I would like to

personally thank our choir and chanters and would ask

that each of you thank them personally for sharing their

time and talents. If it wasn’t for them, we would not be

able to enjoy this beautiful and sacred tradition of the

Church.

I want to remind all of you that the Church is not just

bricks and metal, but it is each and every one of you

who come together to contribute their time and talents!

If it were not for our volunteers in the choir, our

chanters or youth workers, we would not be able to

exist as a church. I am truly indebted to all of you for

your continued service in Christ!

“Somewhere, someone else is happy with less than you have.”

W ith the celebration of the 100 year gala we had

last year, we know the importance of reaching

that feat. More importantly, we know how

difficult it is to reach that milestone. This past Sunday,

we had the opportunity to celebrate a very special birth-

day. We were honored to celebrate with Mr. Markos his

100th birthday. What a pleasure it is to see this man walk

into the church! Yes, it is an honor to be in his presence

when he chooses to be around us! Mr. Markos, what can

I say, may you ―two hundred them!‖

Also, I would like to thank Mr. Lee Tsouris for getting

us the furniture from the company he works for. We have

three beautiful desks in our office, another in the Sunday

school office, some book shelves, and some really com-

fortable chairs.

It was a great time going to Holiday Hill on September

20th and participating in the GOYA retreat. A handful of

cars went, and there were many activities and plenty of

food. We all had a great time. On September 28th, we

celebrated GOYA Day. Our GOYA held their annual

―picnic‖ for the parish, but beforehand, some of the

GOYAns shadowed Parish Council members during ser-

vices. It was a pleasure to have them work with us. On

November 22nd, our GOYAns will have their annual tag

sale in the Aegean Hall. Let’s all make an effort to sup-

port them. Let’s not forget that they are the future of our

Parish!

On October 5th, a number of Choir members who have

served for 20 years (or more) were honored with certifi-

cates on National Church Musicians’ Sunday. They also

held their 3rd Annual Choir Social and Silent Auction for

the parish, which is a fundraiser held to generate funds

which will be used to have an Icon of Saint Romanos the

Hymnographer painted in the Choir loft.

Also, on October 13th, Holy Trinity, together with the

Daughters of Penelope and AHEPA, and partnered with

the Council of Churches, ventured out to Trumbull Gar-

dens again and presented ways to prepare meals for under

5 dollars to the residents. Thank you Kathy and John for

taking charge with this project. This is true philoptochos,

getting out into the community and helping hungry fami-

lies and the less fortunate. Thank you to Philoptochos for

their generous donation. We were able to purchase four

different cooking devices that are being used as raffle

prizes.

On Dec.14th, we are having our Christmas luncheon.

Please keep the date open and celebrate with us. Also,

registrations for basketball and volleyball have begun,

and the games start soon.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving

“Some people grumble that roses have thorns. I am grateful that thorns have roses.”

W ith the weather becoming

chillier, PTO is gearing up

for the fall and winter festivities.

The ―S’mores Under the Stars‖ was

a fun evening of pizza and s’mores.

We had a great turnout, and while

there were some sticky hands, we

all had a fun night of toasting

marshmallows under the bright

moonlight and meeting new

members and their families.

Welcome aboard, and we look

forward to spending happy times

with you and the kiddos as well.

Looking forward, we will be

starting our Holiday Raffle on Nov

2nd. If you are interested in

donating towards this, please

contact Christina Tsocanos or Helen

Vlamis. We will be using the

kitchen to bake the tsourekia on the

Nov 10th and 11th. If you would

like to help in the kitchen during the

day, wrapping during Greek School,

or selling in the month of

December , please let me know.

We could use as many hands as

possible.

We will also have the ―Make a

Wish Project.‖ All gift donations

will go to the children at St. Basil's

Academy, and we will be visiting

them as well. More info will be out

soon. Just as last year, I will gather

a wish list from the children at St

Basil's. Last year a nice group of us

attended and had a great time. Our

own Sami Bal participated in

retrieving the cross in the pool, and

we enjoyed the tour of the grounds

that was given to the group as well.

There will be a decorated Christmas

tree with angel ornaments outside

of the Aegean Hall. Each angel will

have wish list items for each child.

It is a great opportunity to visit the

Academy, and most of all, make a

child very happy during the holiday.

The annual Santa’s Workshop

will take place on Saturday ,

December 13th, from 10am to 1pm.

We will have the youth groups

separated by age again. RSVP to

Maria Gountas so that we can have

a head count.

On Sunday, December 21st, get

ready for Sunday School 's

Christmas Pageant. Before the

production, PTO will serve the

children a light Communion

Breakfast.

Mark your calendars for PTO's

New Years Dance. We had such a

good time last year, we figured

we’d do it again! Maria Gountas

and Anna Papanikolaou are the

contacts for ticket purchase or

information.

ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΟ ΣΧΟΛΕΙΟ

by Eleni Limberis , Director

O ur Sunday school had its

first didactic service on Oc-

tober 12th. Many thanks to

Father Andreas, who conducted the

Liturgy in the Aegean Hall for the

children, and to Father Serge, who

conducted the service upstairs. The

children enjoyed the educational and

spiritual experience.

Thank you to all the parents and

teachers who attended our Parent-

Teacher Meeting. For anyone who

did not make it to the meeting,

please feel free to contact me directly

for an updated calendar, or to ask

any questions that you may have.

It is very important for our children to attend Sunday

School regularly. In other religions, children have man-

dated requirements in order to receive a sacrament and

often must pay extra for special classes. We are so

blessed to have a religious studies program available in

our community on a weekly basis at no cost to the par-

ticipants. Our children will benefit spiritually and mor-

ally.

Please try to have your children ar-

rive in Church on time, which is by

10:15am. Our teachers start their

lessons on time and must start over

when children arrive late.

Mrs. Joanne Bogardus is gra-

ciously directing the children to learn

the hymns of the Divine liturgy.

There is a Halloween Party sched-

uled for October 31st, and will defi-

nitely will be a TREAT!

Please continue to support our PTO ,

as they generously fund our Sunday

school with books and supplies. This is our only source

of income to Sunday school. I also thank PTO for the

ice cream social that they held for the kids while the

parents met. They all had fun.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel

free to contact me.

“What if today we were just grateful for everything?”

O u r

chapter has

kicked off

the year with

a burst of

activity!

Our October meeting was our

annual Think Pink—Think Purple

meeting where we discussed and

raised awareness for Breast Cancer

and Domestic Violence Month.

We also discussed anti-bullying. A

raffle was held for Swim Across

the Sound and materials were

distributed including pink, purple,

and blue pins , demonstrating

awareness for the three issues. Our

district governor was also in

attendance. The chapter grew by

initiating a new member as well.

We were pleased to initiate the

Bridgeport chapter of the Maids of

Athena this past month! We are

very excited about having this

wonderful group here with us, and

we look forward to working

t o g e t h e r w i t h t h e m !

Congratulations, and we wish you

much success!

The DOP participated in the

October food event held at

Trumbull Gardens and will be

participating again this month at an

educational workshop about food.

Our Let’s Keep Them Warm

Drive is underway! We will be

collecting new gloves, hats,

scarves, warm socks, and small

blankets for the needy in the Great

Bridgeport community. (All new

items. Please, no coats or clothes.)

The items are distributed to local

schools, shelters, crisis centers, and

hospitals. This project is one of

our favorite projects and a true

labor of love. Please see the flyer in

the Vision for all dropbox

locations. Thank you to all those

who continue to have a collection

box at their places of business. If

you would like to help, and can

have a collection box, please

contact us and we will provide one

for you.

Tickets are on sale for our

Turkey Raffle in support of our

scholarship program. Tickets are

only $1! Five turkeys will be

raffled off on November 23rd.

We are taking orders for our

annual Christmas Wreath Sale! The

deadline for Wreath orders is

November 26th. They will be

decorated and distributed on

December 6th and 7th. Please

consider buying a beautiful wreath

decorated by members of our

community! We will also be

selling Christmas planters and

baskets again this year! Look out

for our flyers!

Our chapter is celebrating our

79th year in Bridgeport this year.

To commemorate this and our

annual Founder’s Day, we will be

supporting our brother AHEPAns

at their annual luncheon on Nov

9th!

Our next meeting will be on

November 19th. If you wish to

become a member of our group,

”End your day with a happy thought and a grateful heart.”

T he summer is over and Fall, with its beautiful col-

ors, is here. The weather is still OK, and you can

still enjoy Mother Nature and your gardens.

Time goes so fast! November is here, and that means

we have to prepare for our bake sale for Thanksgiving !

Get ready - preparation begins from October 22nd for the

orders for the bake sale. You are all welcome to help in

the kitchen or any other activity.

From October, we started collecting food and

clothes for the poor. Please be as generous as you have

always been. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It is another hard year for many people, and that's the

work of a philanthropic organization like Philoptochos.

We help the Council of Churches, the Rescue Mission,

the Evergreen Network, the Food Bank, the Merton

House, and families of our own community. We need

your help, your donations, and everything else you can

offer. Thank you all.

This year, we changed the date for the Pot Luck

Dinner to November because we had many things in Oc-

tober. In our general meeting of November, Tuesday

4th, 2014, we will hold our Pot Luck Dinner. A speaker

is going to talk to us for first aid instructions. Please call

or tell us what you are going to bring. If you do not have

T he choir would like to thank all of

the wonderful organizations and

individuals who so generously

contributed and supported our 3rd Annual

Coffee Hour Social and Silent Auction

fundraiser on Choir Sunday, October 5th,

2014. We raised $1,500, with the pro-

ceeds going toward our beautification pro-

ject. It may take a few more years to

reach our goal, however, we are in the

process of obtaining an estimate for an icon of St. Roma-

nos the Hymnographer to be painted on the empty rear

wall of the choir loft. Updates will be noted in future

Vision Choir Columns.

For all the beautiful and exciting baskets

which were so graciously donated, we ex-

tend a sincere thank you to: AHEPA, Holy

Trinity Seniors, Hellenic Cultural Associa-

tion, Daughters of Penelope, PTO, Gus and

Nick Vlamis, Ted Pappas, Cindi X. Keane,

the Tallcouch Family, the Capiris, Demes-

tihas and Hatzis Families, and the Vaniotis

Family. We are also indebted to the fol-

lowing individuals for their generous con-

tributions: Evangelia Exis, Van Hatzis,

Helen Spyrou, Pipitsa Stevens, Angie Tha-

tos, and Kay Zorzy. Lastly, a heartfelt

thank you to Helen Yeotsas, Maria Pat-

siarikas, and Katherine Yiannoulis for their

help in setting up and making all the musi-

cal decorations.

Once again, we extend our appreciation to everyone

who helped to make our special day a success!

O ur Parish has been most busy since

we started the new Ecclesiastical

Year in September. It indeed was a

beautiful day on September 14th , as we

celebrated the Feast Day of the Elevation

of the Cross. Seaside Park turned out to be

a glorious day as the waters were blessed

by Father Andreas. Again, Chronia Polla

to all those who celebrated their Namedays

on that day. Kai Tou Xponou.

"Choir Day" was recently celebrated, with

Certificates of Appreciation being distributed to the dedi-

cated Choir Members for their years of Service, followed

by the Choir Coffee Social and Chinese Auction. It was

beautifully done and was a great tribute to our wonderful

Choir who help to make our Sundays so meaningful.

Special thanks to all those who contributed to our an-

nual Wine Tasting, especially to the Philoptochos, who

were the generous sponsors. Our gratitude is extended to

the bakers, to the set up, the raffle prizes, and those who

contributed in any way. Of course, we thank our chair-

persons, Kalliope Tsitsipas and Sylvia Bal.

Once again, we thank the PTO for catering to our chil-

dren - pumpkin picking, S’mores Night, ice cream social

while parents attended a Sunday School meeting, and

their annual Fall Harvest Lunch to raise the funds to be

able to support these activities.

Our Sunday School program is off to a good start ,

with a meeting held for the parents with Father and Tom

Hallas, the Director.

It indeed was so nice to see our GOYAns follow in the

footsteps of the Parish Council members on a recent Sun-

day. They helped to fulfill the duties of the Parish Coun-

cil members, as they respectfully were learning what

those obligations were. We wish all of them much good

luck in their future endeavors and hope someday, as

adults, they will take over the Parish Council responsibil-

ities. They will have their annual Tag Sale and Flea Mar-

ket on November 22nd.

Philoptochos will hold their annual Pot Luck Supper

meeting in November. They will also begin their Novem-

ber Thanksgiving Bake Sale. In November and Decem-

ber, they will be making their food baskets for the less

fortunate.

What an accomplishment -100 years old - John Markos

celebrated his birthday surrounded by family and friends

on October 12th . We were happy to celebrate with him as

his family hosted a lovely brunch in his honor. Should

we say, with the loving care of his beloved

wife Emorphia, "Many More Happy Birth-

days" to John Markos with good health.

Congratulations to Aspasia Trigonis on at-

taining her U. S. Citizenship. She did an

outstanding job answering all the necessary

questions. We welcome her officially to the

United States. Good luck and good health.

Cristina and Michael Hasiotis have started

their own photography business "Mixali

Media," whereby they are dedicated to

providing their clients "beautiful memories," whatever

the occasion happens to be. They can be contacted at 203

-209-7845 or 203 257-9271. We wish them every suc-

cess.

Congratulations to the Daughters who, at their last

meeting, initiated a new Maids of Athena Chapter for our

young girls. Good luck in this new endeavor. The Daugh-

ters are also sponsoring a hat and glove drive for all ages

through January. Wanted are new gloves, mittens,

scarves, hats, small blankets and warms socks (no coats).

Please place in collection box at the back of the Church.

Quite a few Wedding Anniversaries were celebrated in

October. We wish the following couples many more

years of good luck and good heal th:

Kathy and Pat Santella — 28 years; Theodora and Nick

Fatibene - 29 years; Alexis and George Koulouris - 43

years; Stella and George Capiris - 57 years.

Hope you are enjoying the new format of the Sunday

Bulletin, thanks to Vicky Andriotis.

The Community extends its deepest sympathy to

Pavlo and Antigone Bozikis on the death of Antigone's

mother in Greece, where the funeral was held. The Com-

munity extends its deepest sympathy to the family of

Demetra Bothos upon her recent death. She struggled

valiantly for five years with cancer. Her loving daughters,

Katherine and Alexandra, were always with her. She was

an educated individual with many talents, and she will

be missed by many. We also extend our deepest sympa-

thy to the family of Gregory Yiotos. Also, our deepest

sympathy to Eleni Demestihas on the death of her sister

in Greece and to Jim Trigonis on the death of his sister in

Greece. May all their Memories be Forever Eternal!
