January 6th: The Feast of the Holy Theophany (Epiphany) of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ

The Feast commemorates the Baptism of Christ and the divine revelation of the Holy Trinity. At the Baptism of Christ, all three Persons of the Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—were made manifest. Thus, the name of

the Feast is Epiphany, meaning manifestation, or Theophany, meaning manifestation of God.

Apolytikion in the First ToneLord, when You were baptized in the Jordan, the worship of the Trinity was made manifest. For the voice of the Father gave witness to You, calling You Beloved; and the Spirit, in the form of a dove, confirmed the certainty

of His words. Glory to You, Christ our God, who appeared and enlightened the world.

The Consecration of an Orthodox Church

Consecration of the Archangel Michael ChurchApril 24 – 26, 2015

What is salvation for an Orthodox Christian? Salvation is

union with Christ, and this union is referred to as one’s “life in

Christ”. The church is the place where we gather to express and

experience that life in Christ. If the Church is the epicenter

of our Christian living, then the Holy Altar is the center and

focal point of our celebration of this life that Christ calls us to

live. Because the Holy Altar is so important in the life of an

Orthodox Christian, the service of Consecration centers on the

Holy Altar Table. Simply stated, the Consecration service is

the Baptism and Chrismation of our church.

As we begin a New Year and embark upon the many preparations

for this awesome event, we want

to take this opportunity to share and

explain the services and symbolic

actions which will take place at

the Consecration of our Archangel

Michael Church.

Before the actual Consecration service begins, all articles

on the Altar Table are removed, and the Altar Table is left

uncovered with nothing on it. When His Eminence Archbishop

Demetrios enters the church, He will bring with Him the

relics of three Saints. These relics will be placed on the Paten

[Diskarion], which will remain on the Altar Table overnight,

together with a vigil light.

The Consecration of the church will begin, on the evening

before the celebration, with a short prayer service honoring the

memory of the Martyrs. The Vespers, a very joyous celebration,

follows, with a gathering of area clergy, congregants, visitors

and guests who will share in the joy of the coming event. On

the morning of the Consecration, the order of services begins

with Matins [Orthros], the Consecration service and the first

Divine Liturgy in the newly consecrated church.

Matins is a morning service that is held prior to the Divine

Liturgy. It begins with the reading of the six psalms (3, 37,

62, 87, 102, and 142) and ends with the Great Doxology. During

Matins, Resurrection and Consecration hymns are sung. At the

appointed time, His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios will enter

the church and will put on His vestments, and at the end of

Matins the Archbishop will begin the Service of Consecration.

The service begins with the reading of Psalm 143. The Deacon

then recites the Small Litany, after which the Archbishop,

standing before the Holy Relics, reads the following prayer:

“O Lord our God, who granted Your Holy Martyrs

to fight the good fight and to fulfill the course of

Godliness and keep the faith, grant that we may

have a part in their inheritance, and that we too

may receive the good things which await them.”

What exactly takes place during the Consecration? It is a special

service that happens only once in the history of a church. This

service “changes” the bricks and

mortar of a church building into a

Consecrated House of God. This

change takes place through the

Grace of God as expressed in the

power and action of the Holy Spirit.

The following symbolic actions take

place within the context of this service:

1. Three processions around the church building.

2. The placing of the Holy Relics and sealing within the Altar

Table.

3. The washing and Chrismation of the Altar Table.

4. The placing of new Altar coverings and other items on the

Holy Table.

5. The Anointing of the church.

6. The lighting of the Vigil Light.

In future publications we will continue to explain the

aforementioned actions that will take place on the day of

Consecration.

In His Service and Love,

Fr. Dennis

Pastoral Message from Father Dennis

and Chrismation of our church. ”

“...as branches of the true vine we have been chosen and ap-pointed by God to go and bear fruit.” John 15:16

It is hard to believe that another year has gone by, but the work of Philoptochos never stops, by the grace of God. We completed another productive year with many blessings.

To raise the funds needed to support our Philanthropic commit-ments, Philoptochos sponsors one major event for the year…the annual Christmas Family Luncheon held in December. It was a great success due to the hard work of the co-chair ladies Barbara Thermos, Emily Kavourias and Alex Kapetanos and all the mem-bers who contributed their time, talent and financial support.

We want to also thank the following for their support in our en-deavors: the talented stars of the Nutcracker Ballet from the Moves and Motions Dance School of Manhasset, the Byzantine Youth Choir, the donors and sponsors for their generosity and the members of our community who attended the event.

Without all of the aforementioned support, the Philoptochos would not be able to continue their Philanthropic mission to help the needy. As we enter the New Year it is our hope that we will have another successful year, one in which we will work, share and laugh together while we fulfill our mission.

The members of Philoptochos wish our Archangel Michael Com-munity a Happy, Healthy & Blessed New Year.

Stewardship

News & Events

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The annual Stewardship Pledge package has recently been mailed. The following FAQs and Financial Facts concerning the Archangel Michael Church’s (“AMC”) financial position with respect to its op-erating budget are intended to assist you in making an informed de-cision on your Stewardship contributions based upon the needs of our church. Please consider this information when determining your 2015 Stewardship Pledge. Q: What is Stewardship?

A: Stewardship is the personal and financial contribution parishioners make to support the operation of our church. Q: What are Stewardship funds used for?

A: Stewardship funds are used to pay for the operating expenses of our church including essential items such as utilities, insurance, maintenance, snow removal, church and office supplies, postage, etc. The funds also cover the salaries of the clergy, as well as the office and church staffs. In addition, the operating expenses include the annual mandatory assessment by the Archdiocese which is over 10% of the budget. It’s important to note that our church operates with little or no sur-plus of funds at the end of each year. Like other nonprofit institu-tions, our church operates on a breakeven basis, which means that 100% of revenues are used to pay 100% of the expenses. Q: What is the amount of annual operating expenses of AMC?

A: For 2015, the budgeted expenses are approximately $968,000. That means AMC needs almost $1 million to keep the doors open and the lights on for the church, classrooms and gymnasium. Q: What does that amount to on a per family basis?

A: If you consider that the church has approximately 560 stewards/families, then that equates to roughly $1,750 per stewardship pledge. Q: What portion of the operating expenses is funded by Steward-ship?

A: Only about 60% of the expenses are currently funded by Steward-ship.

Q: Where does the remaining 40% of funding come from to cover the expenses?

A: Primarily from annual events such as the Super Raffle, the AMC Golf Outing, the 5K run and special events. Also, donations from can-

dles, trays, gym or hall rentals help to cover expenses. If more of our operating expenses are covered through Stewardship contributions, more of the funds generated from these events can be deployed to cover the church’s many ministries, including fellowship nights and community outreach efforts. Q: What about the money raised by the Festival?

A: Given the fact that revenues from the Festival are unpredictable and weather dependent, these funds are allocated to the non-oper-ating needs of the church. These needs include the completion of construction, capital improvements of the complex and the monthly payment of principal and interest on the church’s roughly $1.5 mil-lion mortgage. Q: Does the money we pay for Greek School, Nursery School, HOPE/JOY, GOYA and athletic activities help to offset operating costs?

A: The tuition paid to the Greek School and Nursery School primarily covers educational materials and the salaries of teachers and sup-port staff. HOPE/JOY, GOYA and athletic fees cover the expenses associated with the activities offered by each group throughout the year. These groups do generously provide some funds to the church to help offset operating costs, however the majority of the tuition and fees collected are allocated towards group expenses and activi-ties. Q: What amount should I consider for my stewardship pledge?

A: Stewardship is based on inviting each steward/family to give ac-cording to their means and conscience. We are all called to give what we can. As noted above, the average cost per family to oper-ate the church is approximately $1,750. On a monthly basis, that is less than $150/month. Some will be able to give more, others less. If you can financially accommodate an increase in your Stewardship, please consider doing so. Q: Is there a minimum Stewardship contribution?

A: Stewardship should be whatever one can afford to give based on one’s means. Historically, a $500 minimum has been suggested for families registering for educational, athletic, and other youth activi-ties, but that is significantly short of the funds necessary to support the church’s operating needs as outlined above. Q: When should I submit my Stewardship for 2015?

A: For the benefit of the church, Stewardship pledges and contribu-tions are requested as early in the year as possible. This allows us to more effectively manage our expenses throughout the year. In addi-tion, this would be an ideal time to consider a monthly payment plan to assist the church in fulfilling its financial obligations while spacing your contribution over the course of the year.


“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year!” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The School Board extends its warmest wishes to our students, our parents and all members of our incredible community for a bliss-ful New Year! May this year be better than all others!

The Archangel Michael Greek Language Institute was blessed with a beautiful Christmas program performed last month by our K-6th grade students and will commemorate The Feast Day of The Three Hierarchs and Greek Letters Day this month by celebrating the successes of our 2014 Greek Regents Class.

“The Three Hierarchs’ long association with the Greek Letters accentuates the emphasis these holy fathers gave to learn-ing, intellectual ability and discipline, and to their use of the Greek language and thought. Combining their love of language and knowledge, with faithful service to others and the Church, they provided an example of the beautiful ministry the Church must offer at all times in all places.” (Archbishop Demetrios, The Greek Orthodox Observer 2009.)

The Board is proud to announce that the following students will receive the 4th annual Socratic Award for achieving the passing

grade of 85% and above on their Greek regents:Tommy Drenis, Elaina Gatanas, Konstantinos Geleris, Anastasia Makedon, Alexia Michalatos, Alexander Papadopoulos, Themis Pappas, Paul Petrakis, Danielle Rallis, Stephanie Triandafillou, Irene Tsahas and Eleana Tsiamtsiouris. Congratulations and may all our students emulate the Three Hierarchs’ love of learning and love of kindness and compassion for one another!

Please be reminded that midterms are scheduled for the week of January 19th. We ask that all students be well prepared and make good use of the study guides provided by the teachers.

Information regarding Picture Day, a Hellenic Book Fair and a pro-spective philanthropic project in conjunction with the AMC Ladies Philoptochos Society will be forthcoming.

The School Board extends a warm welcome to Mrs. Helen Ger-manakos and Mrs. Marina Vlahos both of whom joined the School Board in the fall and a heartfelt thank you to our PTA for all its efforts as the fundraising arm of our Greek School. We ask that our community support their endeavors throughout the New Year 2015, kicking off with The Agape Glendi on January 23rd.

Clear your calendars and Save the Date! Sunday, March 29th- Greek Independence Day Parade 2015! The School Board requests that ALL AMC GREEK SCHOOL STUDENTS join us in celebrating the heritage that our forefathers fought so gallantly to uphold... that same heritage that our students study every Tuesday and Thurs-day afternoon, 194 years later! Let’s make 2015 the largest AMC parade turnout to date! AMC provides bus service to and from the parade. It is free, very convenient and fun. Snacks are pro-vided and best of all there is no need to search for parking!

Καλη Χρονια!

Happy New Year! The Christmas pageant held on December 21st was wonderful. The children were great and performed and sang beautifully. Special thanks to Georgia Katsoulis and Libby Douma-nis for organizing and directing our show.

As part of our Sunday School program this year, Fr. Dennis and Fr. Nikolas have begun a new teaching ministry in which rotating groups of students gather in the Chapel immediately following Holy Communion to learn about the Sacraments of the Orthodox Church. Students and teachers have learned so much about Bap-tism, Holy Chrismation, and the Eucharist. Members of the choir as well as altar boys should join their classes in the Chapel on the days they are scheduled to attend.

Below is a photo from the October 19th lesson about Baptism. In an interactive lesson, complete with students acting out the roles of parents and Godparents, Fr. Dennis led us through the rituals of the sacrament of Baptism and explained the symbolism of each rite.

During the months of January and February, as indicated by the schedule below, Father Dennis and Father Nikolas will be talking about the Sacraments of Marriage and Confession. Please join us!

Both January and February will be busy months. After being wel-comed back for the New Year, we will prepare to celebrate the Epiphany and the Feast of the Three Hierarchs and learn about these important holy days. In February, the children eagerly look forward to Groundhog Day and wonder, “Will he see his shadow this year?” They are also excited about making and sending Val-entine’s Day cards. Our rooms will be decorated with puppets, collages, cherry trees and portraits of our Presidents in celebra-tion of Presidents week.

The Toddler class is enjoying free play and learning to share with each other as they continue to learn to count, and to recognize colors, shapes and body parts. They also enjoy their Greek les-sons with Ms. Linda through songs and play. The children in the Nursery program continue with number recognition.

GOYAWe hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! It was indeed a SEASON OF GIVING. Recipients of the proceeds from our Annual Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser included St. Nicho-las Shrine at Ground Zero, Toys for Tots, Samaritan’s Purse, the Manhasset Coalition Against Breast Cancer, in honor of Alexan-dra Orthos, as well as other local charities. The GOYAns worked hard to organize this successful fundraiser back in October with the generous contributions of the Old Westbury Diner, Marathon Energy and GOYA’s families! Thank you to our entire community once again for your support! On November 14th the GOYAns met at Toys R Us and went shop-ping for the Toys for Tots programs. The GOYAns had a great time selecting gifts and then enjoyed dessert and fellowship at Old Westbury Diner. A plaque was presented to the Old Westbury Diner recognizing their years of support to the GOYA organization.

Our GOYA went to Our Lady of Fatima Church in Port Washington after Liturgy on Sunday, November 23rd, to make Thanksgiving baskets to be donated to those in need. GOYAns brought with them all the trimmings for a meal which included turkey, pota-toes, fruit, vegetables, gravy, stuffing, coffee, tea and dessert, so that those in need could enjoy a Thanksgiving Day dinner.

A collection of 44 Christmas Shoe Boxes were donated to the Sa-maritan’s Purse. These shoe boxes included gifts such as school supplies, toys and non-liquid hygiene items to be distributed to children ages 2-14 around the world. We were happy to be a part of this worldwide collection effort!

It was also a SEASON OF CELEBRATIONS. On November 21st. St Markella hosted a Harvest Dance, the first InterGOYA dance of the season. Many AMC GOYANs showed their support by attending and all had a great time. On November 30th, the AMC GOYA enjoyed the annual Christmas Tree Decorating and Nativity Gathering. Together the GOYAns

spent an afternoon decorating the tree in the Rotunda and ex-changing Secret Santa gifts while they laughed and ate pizza. The Camp St. Paul summer camp reunion was held on December 6th in Rye, NY. GOYAns got together and reunited with all the friends they made at the camp. It was a GREAT time catching up and seeing each other again! As the Trumpet was going to print, our GOYAns were looking for-ward to attending the December 28th, Five Borough InterGOYA dance at Central in Astoria. GOYAns from the city and Long Island were eagerly anticipating coming together in fellowship to have a great time at the dance!

Some events that we are looking forward to in 2015: InterGOYA Ski Trip, Food Pantry Drive, Gym Night and more social gather-ings. GOYAns, please look out for more evites and emails which outline specific details about upcoming events.

BLESSING OF THE HOMES

According to an age-old tradition, during the days and weeks following the Epiphany of our Lord, the homes of the faithful are blessed. The blessing involves the visitation by Fr. Dennis or Fr. Nikolas, who will bring Holy Water sanctified on the Feastday of our Lord’s Baptism, to the home. Father will bless the home and

all present. Those wishing such a blessing should contact the church office to establish a time and date for the blessing.

GOYA VolleyballAMC Volleyball is back for its 2nd season, and we are happy to see such a great turnout for both the girls and boys squads.

Our AMC Girls’ GOYA Volleyball team, coached by Angelo Pappas and Spiro Gatanas, began practices in November for the upcom-ing season. Coach Angelo Pappas is very excited by the great interest in Volleyball after just one season, noting that we have a much younger group of 13 players who can’t wait for the sea-son to begin. Coach Harry Lascarides has taken over coaching the boys this year, and is really impressed with their knowledge of the game and their serious approach to becoming better as a unit. All are excited to play, and we are thrilled to have so many players participating! Practices are every Monday at our gym. We hope everyone comes out and supports our GOYANs this season. Best of luck to all!

JOY BasketballWe are very excited about the new JOY Basketball season! This year our community has a total of 14 teams made up of approxi-mately 160 players. More players have joined the program this year and we even have three more teams than last year. Our practices have begun and every Friday, our gym and four outside gyms come to life with AMC activity. Coaches and players alike are working hard toward our common goals: having a fun, enjoy-able and successful athletic season. The season started in the first week of December and we hope to see all of you in the bleachers supporting our teams! GO AMC JOY BASKETBALL!

Our first official Fellowship Night this season was on Saturday, November 22nd. We hosted a “Thanks and Giving” evening which highlighted the charitable work of IOCC (International Orthodox Christian Charities). With over 100 adults and children in atten-dance, the evening began with Vesper services and a family meal. Father Nikolas offered a presentation on the amazing work that IOCC is doing throughout the world, trying to bring relief to so many war torn and impoverished places around the globe. The

second portion of the presentation featured a video about Fa-ther Themi Adams (Adamopoulos), a priest who is spearheading the Orthodox church’s mission in Ebola-hit Sierra Leone. Father Themi left behind his rock star lifestyle as a member of the Aus-tralian band “The Flies”, from the 1960s, and followed his voca-tional calling to the priesthood. Today he can be found serving the poorest and youngest of Sierra Leone with care and love, giving them a fighting chance for life. Our “Thanks and Giving” retreat ended with the children put-ting together over 350 emergency Health and School kits. IOCC distributes these kits to areas in need, as they contain basic hy-giene and school supplies. This task was completed in record time as we were fortunate to have so many children helping to get the job done. These kits will be shipped, compliments of Velvet Touch Moving & Storage, to the IOCC in Maryland, where they will distribute them to those in need.

Thank you to our entire community for joining together to make this evening so special and to all the organizations including HOPE & JOY, Philoptochos & The Parish Council as well as all the fami-lies who came and provided product or monetary donations to make the kits.

The Hellenic Thread Award, established in 2010, serves as a reminder to us of the sacrifices made by previous generations. The threads that weave the fabric of our unity in faith and pur-pose are strong, vibrant and unequivocally challenging. The award is presented annually in recognition of selfless service to the Archangel Michael Church and Community.

Hellenic Thread Award


The 2014 Hellenic Thread Award was presented to honorees Eleni Raptis and Chris Neocleous at our Nameday Dinner Dance on November 8th. Congratulations!

On Saturday, October 25th, on a beautiful clear and crisp Au-tumn day, we held our annual AMC-Tom Zangas Memorial Lung Cancer Foundation 5K Run/Walk. This year was one of our most successful 5K’s with close to 200 runners and walkers. Medals were awarded to all first place finishers and to all of the young children who participated. T-shirts and wrist bands were given to all participants. It was truly a family and com-munity event!

On behalf of our committee, we would like to thank Peter Ma-mais, of Apple Tree Market, for donating all of the refresh-ments and snacks, Neil Ioannou of Bargain Printing, for printing all of our flyers, registration forms and the sponsor banner, and George Tsiatis, for his assistance with the Church website. On behalf of the Church and the Foundation, we greatly appreci-

ate the overwhelming generosity of all of our event sponsors, who helped to make the event a financial success. Our spon-sorship banner is on display in the Church vestibule, and we ask that you please consider supporting the sponsors that made the 5K so successful.

Tom Zangas Memorial Lung Cancer Foundation



After more than 10 months of planning, 3 beautiful days of 70° & 80° weather, more than 45,000 visitors, 450 volunteers (including ~40 youth volunteers), more than 10,000 square feet of tents, ~3 dozen carnival rides, 10,000 skewers of soulvlaki, 1,500 lbs of gyro, 200 cases of “Greek” fries, 10,000 home baked Greek cookies, 1,000 lbs of flour & 400 lbs of sugar (both for our award winning loukoumades), 250 cases of water, 130 cases of wine, 8.07 tons of garbage, our most successful Festival yet has come and gone…

In four short years, our Community has accomplished something amazing; we have created a renowned event that local and dis-tant neighbors look forward to each year. And more importantly, the Festival has raised more than $880,000 for the Archangel Michael Parish, allowing us to complete the construction of the Church and facilities, plus pay down a substantial amount of the Church’s debt.

Four years ago, when we undertook to host AMC’s first ever Festi-val, it was a yearlong endeavor whereby a small Executive Com-mittee (including many of the same chairs listed below) set out to learn everything that they could about hosting a successful Festi-val. We primarily did so by meeting with a multitude of Festival Chairs from neighboring Churches on Long Island and in NYC (e.g. St. Paul’s, Resurrection, St. Nicholas, St. Demetrios, etc.). And now four years later, these same communities are approaching us to learn how they can improve their Festivals.

That’s an impressive compliment to all that we have achieved in a very short period of time, especially since some of those com-munities have been hosting festivals for more than 40 years. It’s also a testament to the hard working VOLUNTEERS of Archangel Michael Church.

Although the 2014 Annual Greek Festival on the Harbor is now in the “history books”, for many of us the memories will be long lasting—and thankfully there are plenty of photos to memorial-ize the good times had by all (check out the Festival’s Facebook Page). As Chairs of the 2014 Greek Festival on the Harbor, we were honored to work shoulder to shoulder with the more than 450 volunteers from the community; and based on the monies raised for the Capital Campaign and the feedback we have once again received, this year’s Festival was an extraordinary success.

In 2014, the Festival set many new records—including attendance (45,000+), number of volunteers (450+), revenues ($572,000+) and net proceeds ($283,000+)—plus, most of our Festival venues

set new records this year, including the Taverna, Rides, Cypriot Corner, Loukoumades, Bakery, Fabulous Finds, the Beverage Tent, the Bar by the Sea, the Greek Market, Ring Toss and the Ice Cream Booth.

Notwithstanding the vast benefits that the monies raised will of-fer our community, there were countless intangible rewards that we all gained from being a part of this undertaking. For example, it was a wonderful opportunity to gather together and celebrate our Hellenic Culture, with food, music, and fellowship. Unfortu-nately as volunteers, we are working so hard during the Festival that it is difficult to stop and enjoy the weekend’s festivities, music, fireworks, food, pastries, vendors, rides and time with our own families. However, the time was still exceptionally reward-ing—it offered us a chance to get to know fellow parishioners better, while serving the community for a meaningful fundraiser that is helping finish the new Church sanctuary and reduce our Parish debt. By the way, we will bring back the Name Tags in 2015, because sometimes it is difficult to remember the names of 450 fellow parishioners.

The Port Washington Police Department estimated that we had more than 45,000 visitors over the weekend (more than ever be-fore)—that’s astounding. We added three new parking lots this year (that handled more than 1,200 additional vehicles), plus a bus service to shuttle attendees to and from their cars. At one point on Saturday evening, we estimated that the Taverna line was ~300 people long, and despite the long line the patrons all felt that it was worth the wait. And more astounding is how we handled those crowds serving thousands of Souvlaki, Haloumi, Loukoumades, Pastries, Coffees, Beers and Wines with volunteers that do this once a year. And the feedback continues to be very positive on how the lines moved fast, the food was served hot and also tasted delicious. We should all be very proud of these accomplishments.

It is only fitting that we wrap up the 2014 Festival with a sincere thank you to each donor who gave big or small and every volun-teer who worked for one hour or tirelessly for days and weeks—for all your time, energy, efforts, gifts, abilities, hard work, dona-tions and prayers, please accept the thanks and appreciation of your community and us personally. We will see you once again next year!!

With the sincerest of gratitude,

Michael Psyllos, Peter Stavrinos, Chris Neocleous, Oscar Michelen, John Halkias & Michael Kavourias
