From the Desk of Father Jon
The Morning Prayer of St. Philaret of Moscow
O Lord, grant me to the greet the coming day in peace.
In all things help me to rely upon Your holy will.
In every hour of the day, reveal Your will to me.
Bless my dealings with all who surround me.
Teach me to treat all that comes to me throughout this day,
With peace of soul and firm conviction that Your will governs all.
In all my deeds and words, guide my thoughts and feelings.
In unforeseen events, let me not forget that all are sent by You.
Teach me to act firmly and wisely without embittering and embarrassing others.
Give me strength to bear the fatigue of the day with all that it shall bring.
Direct my will, teach me to pray.
Pray You Yourself in me.
Amen.
Please cut this prayer out of your newsletter and place it in your prayer corner. May the Spirit filled words of
St. Philaret fill your mind and heart as you begin your day. Embodied in this prayer is a great measure of our
Orthodox ethos, ephos and phronima!
The words of the prayer above I try to say every day as I walk and say my prayers. They remind me to put
the Lord’s will above my own. This prayer sets me on a good path for the day. It is a light to my eyes and a
lamp to my feet.
Yet, seeing the hand of God in everything that happens in our lives is a tall order! We often question why we
have had to endure certain hardships? We want to see the purpose of these struggles, but often times do not
understand – at least not at first. So why does God make us wait for this understanding? In part, it is all part
of God’s plan for us. Wisdom is a most precious pearl! It does make sense that we would need a measure of
time to see it’s value.
When we look at the world today, it is easy to become despondent about the wars, tumults, refugees, econom-
ics, etc. Our faith tells us that we must place this in our prayers to God and act upon our faith so we do not
fall into the devil’s trap. Better than all my words are the stories from the lives of the saints and the geron-
tikon. Please read the story below and see the wisdom!
Story
There once was a man who became very frustrated and cried out to God – Why? Why Lord do I have to bear
this burden? An angel then appeared to him and said, “Come with me.” The angel lead the man to a nearby
road in the countryside that had a stream next to it that flowed from west to east between two towns. At this
location on the road there was a large tree whose trunk was hollowed out across from the stream. The angel
instructed the man, “Stand inside the trunk of the tree and you will see the providence of God.” The man did
as he was told.
Not long after there came a man on horseback traveling from west to east. He was finely dressed and saw the
stream next to the road. He got off the horse and removed his money sack from his belt and placed it next to
the stream as he knelt down to take a drink. He got back on the horse leaving the sack behind and continued
on his way.

A little while later, a second traveller walking from east to west, the opposite direction from the first, came to
the spot in the road. He was poorly dressed and very thirsty from his journey. As he knelt down to drink from
the stream, he saw the sack by the stream. Upon opening it, he rejoiced with great joy and placed it in his bag
that he was carrying and went on his way.
Lastly, a third traveller came walking from west to east. Upon seeing the stream next to the road, he bent
down to take a drink and rest his weary feet. As he rested, the first traveller returned to the site. He thought
the third traveller had stolen his money an hid it. He grabbed the third man and demanded he return his mon-
ey. He denied taking the money, so the first traveller killed him and buried him on the other side of the stream.
The man watching all that took place from the tree trunk said, “Why this is outrageous, this is a terrible crime.
The third traveller did nothing wrong and yet he was murdered! How does this show the providence of God?”
The angel responded, “You do not know what you have seen. To your eyes, this is a grave injustice, but listen
well and you may understand.”
The angel explained, “The first traveller received the large some of money he carried by dishonest means. He
had cheated many clients out of their money. The second traveller was one of the men he had cheated many
years ago. The amount of money in the rich man’s sack was the exact amount the second traveller was cheated
out of. The third traveller had taken someone’s life without reason when he was young. As a way of com-
pletely repenting of his sin, he asked God that he might die in the same way. And lastly, the rich man who
came back and killed the man, he had such remorse over the murder, he gave away all his wealth to the poor
and lived out the rest of his life in repentance at a monastery.”
The angel then asked the man, “Now do you understand the providence of God?” The man responded,
“Nothing was as it seemed, what appeared to happen was not what really transpired. God is truly great!”
Epilogue
Perhaps after reading this story you can think of a time in your life when you do not see God’s hand in the cir-
cumstance but now you do. It is a great blessing to trust in Him!
Love,
Fr. Jon

From the Parish Council President
Barbara Reynolds New to our Parish:
I hope you have noticed the pretty new plantation shutters in the Hellenic Center that were donated by Kay
Skandalakis to the Hellenic Center beautification project.
The Parish Council is continuing to look for ideas to improve the beauty of the Hellenic Center. Please see any
Parish Council member to give your input to this project as well as donations.

ested.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the ways that St. Nicholas demonstrates our belief in stewardship is to give back a portion of our profit
from our Greek Festival each year. If we look at the definition of stewardship we see that it is:
…learning how to be a responsible and concerned caretaker of Christ’s Church; it is learning how to enjoy
Church life and be happy in Church work for in Her dwells the fullness of the Spirit of God.
…our active commitment to use all our time, talent and treasure for the benefit of humankind in grateful ac-
knowledgment of Christ’s redeeming love.
…caring for the needs of others.
…offering one’s self to God as He offered Himself to us.
…what a person does after saying “I believe…”, as proof of that belief.
…devotion and service to God and His Church as persons, as families, as diocese/metropolis, as national
Church and as Church universal.
Each year at the time of the festival our church family comes together to give of our time, talents and hard labor
to make the festival a success. Then after the festival we give back to our community and church to care for
those in need and to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This year we donated to:
St. Nicholas Shrine at Ground Zero in New York City.
Diakonia Center Church - We are donating a window to
the Panagia Chapel being built at the Diakonia Center.
St. Nicholas Benevolent Fund - The Benevolent Fund is
used to help our own parishioners in times of need.
Good Shepherd Center of Wilmington. Their mission is
to plan, develop, and maintain an ecumenical and social
ministry to meet the needs of the hungry, homeless, and
jobless in our community.

Outreach & Evangelism Diane McGowan
A Perspective for Our New Liturgical Year
“For … I was a stranger,” Christ says, “and you
took me in.”
Matthew 25:35
As we move forward through the new church calen-
dar year, the Outreach and Evangelism Ministry asks
that you reflect on how difficult it must be to be the
new face in church or school.
If each of us were to make it a goal to be the FIRST
to welcome unfamiliar persons, we will fulfill our
Orthodox Christian mission of “Receive one another,
just as Christ also received us, to the Glory of God.”
Romans 15:7. Remember, we are all responsible for
Outreach and Evangelism. Starting today, if you see
a new or unfamiliar face, think about inviting that
person to join your table at Coffee Hour.
October 1st at 6:30PM our Welcome & Kickoff Meet-
ing will be held at the Hellenic Center!! Please call
the church office to RSVP and for details. All are
invited to participate. Through the year we need
many volunteers to do our work, which includes par-
ish care, welcoming and greeting parishioners, and
embracing our ever growing community. The Com-
munity Service group will have a meeting at the same
time.
Stewardship Debra Rallis
Those that Seek the Lord Shall Never be in Want of
any Good Thing
Stewardship Sermon 2016
Psalm 34:10 and the Closing Hymn of the Service of
Artoclasia
Do Your Best
A traditional American proverb says, “God makes
this request of his children: Do the best you can –
where you are, with what you have, now.” The story
of Jesus Christ feeding the 5,000 illustrates this
through the boy’s offering of all that he had – five
loaves and two fish. This boy did his best with what
he had, and Jesus used it to perform an incredible
miracle.
The Economy of Heaven
The disciples had wanted to send the people away to
get something to eat, but Jesus responds, “There is no
need for them to go away; give them food your-
selves.” The disciples approached the issue from the
point of view of earthly economics. To buy food for
the people assembled would be too expensive – 200
days’ wages.
Jesus’ response is simple. He asks, “What do you
have?” But the disciples don’t realize that they are
being called to participate in a miracle by simply giv-
ing what they have.
Bring Them to Me
Jesus Is concerned about the 5,000 men plus women
and children that are with him in the wilderness. His
disciples tell him that all they have are five loaves
and two small fish that a boy has offered. Jesus’ re-
sponse is the phrase, “Bring them to me.” Jesus then
takes the loaves, blesses and breaks them, and feeds
5,000 men plus women and children.
We also bring what we have to Jesus. We offer bread
and wine. He returns it to us as His body and blood in
Holy Communion. We offer ourselves and we be-
come the Church, His body on earth. No matter how
much we give, He cannot be outdone. Just like the
boy who offered the loaves and the fish, if we offer
what we have – however great or small our gift –
with prayer and humility, God will receive our gifts
and multiply them to feed His people.
Stewardship is about Joy
We don’t give out of fear of judgment in the afterlife.
We give with joy as part of our spiritual growth, put-
ting the emphasis on experiencing heaven now. Stew-
ardship of our gifts can help shape our world and our-
selves in such a way that we can experience God’s
grace, love and communion in the present. This per-
spective on Christian Stewardship emphasizes that
which is possible for us as humans – now rather than
later. It shifts our focus from fear to the potential for
experiencing joy.
Hard work may bring power and success. Only God
can bring us joy, peace and love. American writer,
Frederick Buechner has written, “Greed is the mathe-
matical truism that the more you get, the more you
have. The opposite of greed – the selfless love of God
and neighbor – is based on the truth that the more you
St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church October 2015
7
give away in love, the more you are.”
Put away the Pie Chart
Stewardship is not about calculations, portions or per-
centages. It cannot be reduced to a number of hours of
service or dollars offered. We can’t reduce our respon-
sibilities as members of the Body of Christ to paying
the bills. Christian Stewardship is a mindset – a way
of life. In true stewardship, we do not give to the
Church for any specific purpose. We are giving back
to God with joy in thanksgiving for what He has done
for us. God is never outdone in generosity.
Grace
The true motivation for giving is grace. Giving is an
act of worship is response to the generosity of God.
“You are to give,” says Saint Paul, “as God has pros-
pered you.” His Second Letter to the Corinthians (9 &
10) teaches us clearly, “He who sows bountifully will
also reap bountifully.” God blesses those who give
with generosity.
Thanking God
The question is not, “How much do I give to stay in
the club?” or “What are the dues?” The real question
we need to ask ourselves is “How do I thank God for
my many blessings?”
As Orthodox Christians, we are called to a new way of
seeing things – a new way of life. Stewardship is obe-
dience to the greatest commandment to “love the Lord
with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.” We are
called to bring ourselves and others to commit their
lives to Jesus Christ in such a way that leads to the joy
of knowing him personally and profoundly.
God’s Generosity
Saint Gregory the Theologian writes, “You will never
overcome God’s generosity, even if you give away all
that you have. …. And however much you bring to
him, always more remains. Nor will you give anything
that is your own; for all things flow from God (Or
14.22).
Leave the Rest to God
You cannot do everything, but you can do something.
God wants you to do your best and leave the rest to
him. Saint Theofan said, “Exert all your strength, but
rest your concern for success on God.”
The Lord doesn’t expect any more from us than what
we have to offer. But He does expect us to be faithful
and that we do our very best for Him.
We do our best and leave the rest to Him.

Youth Catechism Courtney Malahias
This article is dedicated to our wonderful group of
Sunday School teachers! Thank you for giving us
your wonderful selves!
Welcome to a new ecclesiastical year! We started our
classes on September 13th and I am happy to an-
nounce that all classrooms were full! I am so grateful
for our teachers and the time and commitment they
have spent preparing for their lessons.
Please try to be at church each Sunday on time so that
your child hears the epistle and gospel readings. It is
us who sets the example – not with our words but si-
lently, with LOVE and by action. Children learn by
watching us and they notice the details of our lives
more than we do. Encourage and uplift your friends
to join you at church. Sit together, pray together.
Your Sunday will change! My motto is - Your are
strong, You are Wise, You are a shining example of
God. My inspiration is the movie The Help. I say this
every morning on my drive to work. We are all Shin-
ing examples of God. Let your light shine!
Grateful to be in His service,
Courtney Malahias
