Dear Reverend Fathers, Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

After the impact from Hurricane Katrina a few years ago, it is hard to comprehend that yet

another hurricane has caused major destructions in our Metropolis. But, as you did

through your kindness after Katrina, I strongly believe you will step up once again and

offer your assistance and support to any of our Orthodox faithful and our affected parishes

in any way you can.

We know that our brothers and sisters in Florida and other states within our Metropolis

have suffered greatly in the last few days and we pray that all affected by Hurricane Har-

vey and Hurricane Irma recover as fast as possible. It is our privilege to be able to offer

some form of help to combat the misfortunes that have befallen them. We hope that this

assistance will enable them to begin the process of restoration and healing from the trau-

ma of this natural disaster. With God’s help we can find the strength, understanding and

resources to assist our suffering parishioners; not only in the beginning with needed mate-

rial resources, but also in the months to come, spiritually and emotionally.

In the weeks to come, a number of individual families in our Metropolis will certainly be

in need of financial assistance to help cover their losses and rebuild their lives. His Emi-

nence Metropolitan Alexios appointed me as Chairman of the Metropolis of Atlanta Relief

Committee many years ago to help assist these individuals in any way that we can. I will

do my best to facilitate the relief efforts in a timely and efficient manner. Together, we

will do our best to serve the needs of our Orthodox faithful.

If you would like to contribute to this cause, please make your check payable to the Me-

tropolis of Atlanta earmarked for Hurricane Irma Relief. Please mail your check to:

Dee Nicolaou, Emergency Relief Chair

27242 Breakers Drive

Wesley Chapel, FL 33544

If you know of any families or churches needing assistance please refer them to me. Addi-

tionally, if you need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. You may reach me

by e-mail at [email protected], at home 813-991-9026, or at my cell 813-294-0346.

Your Sister in Christ,

Dee Nicolaou

Church Fathers Speak

When you pray, endeavor to pray more for others than for yourself

alone, and during prayer represent vividly to yourself all men as forming

one body with yourself, and each separately as a member of the Body of

Christ and your own member, for we are members one of another.

— St. John of Kronstadt

Prayer List

As members of an Orthodox Christian family, we are called upon to pray for each other in time of need. Please pray for:

Rev. Fr. George, Gina, Marina Fotini, Athena

If you would like us to remember you or your loved one in our prayers, please contact our Church office at 765-7145. We will begin with a fresh list of names every month.

The Good Samaritan Helpers of the Greek Orthodox Church sent cards to Gina and Voula. We would like to remind the parish-ioners that we are here to help in

many ways. Please let us know if we can be of help to you, or someone that you know.

Τα Νέα της Φιλοπτώχου

Ευχαριστώ κυριές πού αφιερώσατε τήν ώρα σας από τήν δουλιά σας, με τόσο ευχαρίστηση, για

να κάνομε τήν προετοιμασία τών γλυκών πού θά τά πουλήσουμε τόν Νοέμβριο. Τί ωραία

αρχίσαμε. Πέρασε ένας μήνας καί απέμεινε ένας μήνας καί μισός γιά νά ολοκληρώσουμε τά εξήντα

χρόνια του Φθινοπωρινό μας Φέστιβάλ. Οί διαφημήσεις καί οί παραγγελίες πού γίνονται νωρίς,

είναι όλες έτοιμες γιά νά τίς δώσωμε στούς φίλους, εργάτες καί στούς γειτόνους. Γιά πληροφορίες

μπορείτε νά μπείτε στό κομπιούτερ στό WSGOC.org ή μπορείτε να πάρετε τα χαρτιά τήν άλλη

μέρα από τήν προετοιμασία πού κάνομε.

Θέλω, καί πάλι , νά σάς ευχαριστίσω πού παρευριθίκατε στήν πρώτη μάς Γενική Συνεδρίαση καί

πού πέξατε το παιγνίδι τής γνωριμίας γιά νά μάθομε ό ένας τόν άλλων καλίτερα. Ήταν ευχάριστο

παιγνίδι καί εύχομε να πέξομε κιάλα παιγνιδάκια γιά νά αυξήσουμε τήν φιλία μας.

Ή δεύτερη Γενική Συνεδρίαση θά είναι στής 7:00 το βράδυ Τετάρτη , 11 Οκτωβρίου. Σάς

παρακαλώ νά προσκαλέσετε καί άλλα μέλη νά έλθουν να δούν πός η Κ. Σαμαρά θά φτιάκσει τό

Πρόσφορο σέ λιγότερο από 30 λεφτά. Διότι οί δουλιές μάς είναι πολλές καί εκτός τήν Φιλόπτωχο,

γιαυτό οί συνεδριάσεις πρέπει να είναι μόνο μία ώρα ή λιγότερο.

Μέ Αγάπη Του Θεού, Βασιλική Γκονζάλες

Διότι κανένα πράγμα δέν είναι αδύνατο είς τόν Θεόν.

Thank You Ladies for taking time out of your busy schedules to help us kick off the baking prep-

arations with so many loving hands of labor. What a wonderful turnout. One month down and only

1 ½ months left before we complete our 60th Bake Sale Event. The flyers and pre-order forms are

done and ready to be distributed to your friends, co-workers, and neighbors. A copy can be down-

loaded at WSGOC.org or feel free to pick some up at our next baking day.

I’d also like to thank you for attending our General Meeting and for playing the little game I like to

call “Speed Friending.” It was a lot of fun and I look forward to the next little game we play to

help us grow our friendships.

Our next General Meeting is at 7:00 pm, Wednesday, October 11th. I encourage you to grab another

member and come join us as Mrs. Samaras demonstrates how to make Prosforo in less than 30

minutes. And because we all have lives outside of Philoptochos, I value the time contributed to

attend our meetings and promise to keep them to an hour or less.

In Christ's Love, Kiki Gonzales For with God, all things are possible. LUKE 1:37

Please use the form below to place orders or make copies to pass out to your friends, family and co

workers. Orders and checks can be dropped off and placed in the "marked" basket in the church

office. Questions can be directed to email and number in the order form. Thank you!!

Greek School is off to a great start. Students were excited to get back into their clas-ses. This month we will be celebrating OXI Day on October 29th with a brief perfor-mance in the sanctuary at the conclusion of the divine liturgy followed by Coffee Hour hosted by the Greek School. Please be on the lookout for the Sign-up Genius in your e-

mail for items needed for the coffee hour. Also students are required to wear their Greek School Logo shirts and Navy blue pants (boys) or skirts (girls) for the performance. If you do not already have your shirt please see me. We are looking forward to another great year.

In Christ, Heather Vlachos

Sunday School News from the Annunciation

Sermonette Theme: “Words of Life and Faith”

Sunday School is officially underway! We have had a wonderful start to our 2017-

2018 year. It seems like our teachers and students have really started to enjoy the first

weeks of class. We would like to thank our teachers who have offered their time and tal-

ents to help educate our children. They were eager to get into their classrooms and to get

to know the kids. Our instructors are following this year's theme, which is "Words of Life

& Faith."

Schedule for Liturgy and Sunday School:

10:00 am Liturgy Begins

11:00 am Youth proceeds to classes after Holy Communion

11:45 am Dismissal of Sunday school

Parents with students kindergarten age or younger are asked to proceed to the

classrooms for student pick up immediately following the sermon (but no earlier

than 11:45 am).

Please remember that in order to participate in youth activities outside of Sunday

School (GOYA, Greek dance, etc.), a child must attend more than 55% of his or her clas-

ses. Attendance will be taken and must be consistent throughout the school year. Divine

Liturgy in another town can be counted towards attendance if the appropriate forms are

completed. If you have further questions about this, please contact the Sunday School Di-

rectors or any member of the clergy.

We also wanted to remind you that our food drive has begun! Please send non-

perishable food items every Sunday to help your child's class fill their boxes. The boxes

will be given to the Food Bank to provide emergency assistance to families in need.

In Christ's Service,

Fr. Demetri, Fr. Costa Sunday School Coordinators:

Zoe Bobotsiares, Helen Karagiorgis, & Heather Vlachos
