From the Desk of Father Jon

Good Habits vs. Bad Habits and the battle for a good year

Have you ever noticed the difference between good habits and bad habits? Most of the time it is easy to identi-

fy the good habits because we can naturally take pride in doing them and glorify God through them. The bad

habits are a lot more elusive to identify. Yet, if we are honest with ourselves, we can easily say what they are

and where they come from. The bad habits are suggested to us by the evil one, the devil. He is the one who

suggests laziness instead of hard work. He is the one who tells us, “Go ahead, over indulge, you deserve it.”

I have a plan! Kick the devil in the teeth in 2015! The battle for the new year begins now. Let us resolve to

conquer one bad spiritual habit and replace it with one good spiritual habit.

Now, you might ask, which one? Glad you asked my dear child of God, glad you asked. Listed below are

some possible great choices for 2015. You can choose one or two, but no more. I suggest you work on one of

the toughest ones if you are up to the challenge, or one of the lesser ones. Either way, my prayer is that you,

with God’s help, win and the devil loses. The choice is yours, but choose wisely!

There are many others each of us could think of for our lives. God help us in the new year to be the best Or-

thodox Christian we can be and the emissary for St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church.

Love always,

Fr. Jon

Bad Habit Good Habit

Come to church Christmas & Pascha Come to church weekly

Come to church late every time Come to church on time

Read nothing to improve my soul Read the Scriptures daily

Pray only when a crisis hits Pray daily, it is like spiritual vitamins

Hold a grudge in 2015 Let go, forgive, and pray for others in 2015

Be stingy with time, talents & treasures Give generously in the new year, for God loves a cheerful giver

Judge others Judge not, and you will not be judged

Gossip about others constantly Pray for others constantly

Avoid coming to church except Sunday Attend some new services in the new year

Coming to coffee hour but not church More church, less coffee!

Let anger get the best of you in your car Pray for those who drive in an unsafe manner

Say you’re going to pray for people but do not Pray for people whether they ask you to or not

Hate your enemies Love your enemies

Pray ONLY for those you love Pray for everyone

Always look to apply the Bible to others Always look to apply the Bible to yourself

From the Parish Council President

Emanuel Miliotis

HAPPY NEW YEAR & XRONIA POLLA !!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas holiday with their family and friends. It is hard to be-

lieve that 2015 is here and we are getting ready to launch into a brand new year. I would like to offer a special

New Year’s welcome to the many new families who have joined our St. Nicholas community this year.

We are excited about this upcoming year and all the opportunities for growth. With that comes contin-

ued need for help with our ministries. If you have a desire to help, please reach out to any of our ministry

leaders or the parish council. With January upon us, here are a few of our upcoming events to mark on your

calendars.

1/11 Vassilopita Sunday: Each year our Philoptochos ladies society, hosts a vassilopita “auction” in our

hall after our church service. The funds raised are used to support St. Basils academy in NY and a number

of worthwhile local charities.

1/17-1/19 HDF: Our dance teams and many from our community will be traveling to Charlotte to com-

pete in our Metropolis’s Hellenic Dance Fellowship. It will be a memorable weekend and the opportunity

for our youth to interact with others from different communities.

Finally as our new parish council gets kicked off for 2014, I would like to take a moment to and on

behalf our of parish council, thank Kim Dandulakis, who has faithfully served in the role of parish council in

her last term. Second, I would like to congratulate Peter Manaloukis for beginning his service as a new Parish

council member, may God grant him strength as he serves the church.

In Christ’s service

Stop Hunger Now

Saturday, December 13th, was another historic day in

the life of our St. Nicholas Parish! On that Saturday,

we hosted another STOP HUNGER NOW meal-

packaging event in our Hellenic Center. Volunteers

from our St. Nicholas Parish and St. Basil the Great’s

Parish, AHEPA-Cape Fear Chapter No. 408 and

DaVita HealthCare Partners packaged over 40,000

meals in less than 3 hours.

This was made possible through the generous support

of both Orthodox Parishes, AHEPA 408 Philanthro-

pies, Inc. Ladies Philoptochos Society, GOYA and

our Hellenic School. In addition, we received a

$3,000 grant from the KT Community Foundation,

Inc. (DaVita HealthCare Partners). All total, we

raised $10,088 for our event!

A few volunteers met on Friday night to set-up the

Hellenic Center for the event. The next morning, oth-

er volunteers met at 9 AM to unload the SHN truck,

which contained the food items which were to be

packaged, including: rice, soy, flavoring mix and

multi-vitamin. In addition, they unloaded supplies

and equipment, which were used to bag, weigh, seal

the box the meal packages.

After the opening prayer and a brief orientation, we

started working. Approximately 130 volunteers were

able to package and box 6,667 bags of product, which

filled 185 boxes and were loaded on 3 pallets in the

SHN truck.

These meals will be shipped to developing countries,

where people are starving or ill due to hunger related

conditions. The meals are distributed via SHN’s

world-wide distribution partners, which include

school feeding programs, vocational training, child

development programs as well as orphanages and

medical clinics.

This was the third SHN meal-packaging event hosted

by our Parish during the past five years. Volunteers

are already asking if we will be doing this project

again next year.

For those unable to join us this year, please see more

photographs of this event, which show each step in

the food packing process, further in our Newsletter.

Hellenic Culture Kitsa Weirsteiner

The Hellenic Link Association with the school of

Modern Greek Language of the Aristotelion Univer-

sity of Thessaloniki has decided to enact a program

father of Barbara Harris of our parish. Dr. Efthimiou

explained that this program will be three weeks long

and will encompass two levels. The first level will

begin on June 15th, 2015 and will be completed on

July 3rd. The second level will take place from July

6th until July 24th. The tuition for each level is 600

euros ($750.00) for three credits. This course (two

levels) will be conducted in Greece at the Aristotelion

University for university and college level students.

Orthodox Christian Fellowship Alexandros Theodoropoulos

We hope that our students had a great and spiritually

uplifting Christmas Break and would further like to

wish all of our students a Happy New Year as well as

productive and successful academic semesters with

good Health, Wisdom, Strength and Enlightenment!

Please be reminded to look out for the pertinent com-

munications regarding our OCF group’s informal

Open Forum lunch meetings with Fr. Jon and Fr. Tim-

othy (from St. Basil) at the Varsity Cafe in the UNCW

Fisher Student Center starting at 12:00 pm and going

on until at least 2:00pm on every Wednesday. All are

welcome to join! In case you know of any students

that would be interested, please encourage them to

attend.

We would further like to identify potential host fami-

lies for our OCF students. The pertinent document/

form can be found on our website at

www.stnicholaswilmington.org/Docs/

OutreachEvangelism/OCF/OCFSponsors.pdf . The

following are suggested ways that host families could

use to stay in touch with the student(s) they would be

matched with:

1. Email the students weekly. (Be sure to mention that

you have been appointed as a host family for the OCF

for this year in your first email.)

2. Text (Most of the students cell phones are

listed. You can do this after you establish email con-

tact.)

3. Offer to help the students with rides to church and

events.

4. Remind your host student of church services and

events coming up in the near future.

5. Invite the students for a home cooked meal!

Please see Fr. Jon for more information about our new

OCF Host Family or Sponsorship program. Please

consider becoming a host family for one of our OCF

students.

Forever Young Stella Vallianos

Forever Young met on Tuesday, December 2nd for

their regular meeting. But this meeting was anything

but regular. Kay Skandalakis catered a wonderful

lunch for us in memory of her mother, Angeline, who

loved to come and sing with the rest of us the old well

-loved Greek songs and Kalanda. Besides the deli-

cious meal, she also had raffles and a number of at-

tendees won some lovely gifts to take home with

them. We were also so happy to have with us Alex

Theodoropoulos who always enhances our meetings

with his enthusiasm and guitar playing. Thank you

both so much for making our December meeting so

special

Our next meeting will take place on Tuesday, January

6th, 11:00 a.m., at the church. We will be going out to

eat. We hope to see some of the new faces back with

us.

Our best wishes to all the church community for a

Happy Christmas and a New Year filled with God’s

blessings.

LOVE Stella McTaggart

Happy New Year to all our Little LOVE members and

to the loving families that shelter and protect them.

One of the things I love to do the most with Fiona is to

read stories. So what better way to spend a cold win-

ter day than in a warm bookstore enjoying a special

story time. Please feel free to join us at the Wilming-

ton Barnes & Noble on Saturday, January 10 at 11am

for a story time and activity around the book “Please,

Mr. Panda.”

LOVE is a Ministry for all Parents-to-be, Parents,

Grandparents, or any other Caregiver for preschool or

younger aged children to come together for playtime

and fellowship as parishioners of St. Nicholas Greek

Orthodox Church. I truly hope anyone who has not

come to an event yet chooses to attend this month.

And, if anyone is interested in joining me in Leader-

ship, contact me to learn more about what goes into

preparing for events each month. It is a joy to be able

to plan events for families and get to know other pa-

rishioners with children in my owns age group.

The Cape Fear Chapter No. 408 of the Order of

AHEPA had a very busy month during December.

The chapter participated in a National AHEPA Project

by raising funds for the St. Nicholas National Shrine

at the World Trade Center in New York City. The

brothers raised a total of $3,200.00 for this project.

AHEPA 408 Philanthropies, Inc. made a $500.00 con-

tribution to the parish’s STOP HUNGER NOW fund-

raising campaign. On December 13th the brothers

volunteered at the parish’s SHN meal-packaging event

in our Hellenic Center, where over 40,000 meals were

assembled.

On the following evening AHEPA Brothers and their

spouses gathered at Giorgio’s Italian Restaurant for

their annual Christmas social & dinner, where the par-

ty enjoyed fellowship, food and shared the Christmas

spirit.

The brothers served a traditional Christmas dinner to

the residents and staff of the AHEPA 408 Apartments

on Monday, December 22nd. The meal is generously

donated by Brother Chris Tsingelis and his wife, An-

gela, of Chris’ Restaurant and plated and served to the

guests by the AHEPA Brothers that evening. Youth

from our parish attended and entertained the residents

by their beautiful Christmas caroling.
