1 GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH 435 KEATING DRIVE WINSTON-SALEM, NC ADDRESS SERVICE REQUESTED TIME SENSITIVE MATERIAL PLEASE EXPEDITE JUNE 2019 Non-Profit Organiz. U.S. Postage Winston-Salem, NC Permit # 168 My Beloved Faithful of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America: Χριστὀς Ἀνέστη! Christ is Risen! He is truly risen! Even though I am, as the Apostle Paul once said, absent in the body from you, I am very much with you in heart, in mind, and in spirit (cf. I Cor. 5:3). I wanted to take this moment to communicate with you through this marvelous tool of social media, to express how much I desire to embrace all of you as spiritual children, and to manifest to you the love with which God has graced my heart for the precious flock of the Holy Archdiocese of America. In the coming days and weeks, we will all be learning about one another. I have already received and continue to receive warm greetings and messages of congratulations from across America, and I am heartened by them all. You will be learning about me, but what I want all of you to know most importantly, is that that I am coming to America not only to be your Archbishop, but I am coming to be your spiritual friend and brother, your servant in the Lord, your co-worker in Christ, and your fellow steward of all the gifts of God that have been bestowed upon the Greek Orthodox Faithful of America. Together we will bring the Holy Archdiocese of America to the greater understanding that we are the Body of Christ, and each of us a precious member. To you and to all our Orthodox Christian Brethren across America, I bring the blessing of His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. I am coming to you as your brother in Christ. And, on June 22nd at my Enthronement, I look forward to embracing our ecumenical and interfaith friends as well, and the whole pluralistic American society that values freedom of conscience and religious liberty with such intensity. Let this be a time of hope and positive expectation for us all. We have much to accomplish together, and by God s grace and with His strength, we must surely be victorious. Χριστὀς Ἀνέστη! Ἀληθῶς Ἀνέστη! In the Risen Lord, Archbishop Elpidophoros of America Προσφιλεῖς μου Πιστοί τῆς Ἑλληνορθοδόξου Ἀρχιεπισκοπῆς Ἀμερικῆς: Χριστός Ἀνέστη! Ἀληθῶς Ἀνέστη! Μπορεῖ νά εἶμαι «ἀπών τῷ σώματι», ὅπως εἶπε κάποτε ὁ Ἀπόστολος Παῦλος, εἶμαι ὅμως ἰδιαιτέρως παρών τῇ καρδίᾳ, τῇ διανοίᾳ καί τῷ πνεύματι (Κορ. Α, 5:3). Ἤθελα νά ἀδράξω αὐτή τήν εὐκαιρία γιά νά ἐπικοινωνήσω μαζί σας μέσα ἀπό τό ὑπέροχο ἐργαλεῖο τῆς κοινωνικῆς δικτυώσεως καί νά σᾶς μεταφέρω τήν μεγάλη ἐπιθυμία μου νά σᾶς ἀγκαλιάσω ὅλους ὡς πνευματικά τέκνα καί νά σᾶς ἐκδηλώσω τήν ἀγάπη μέ τήν ὁποίαν ὁ Θεός πλήρωσε τήν καρδιά μου γιά τό πολύτιμο ποίμνιο τῆς Ἱερᾶς Ἀρχιεπισκοπῆς Ἀμερικῆς. Μέσα στίς ἑπόμενες ἡμέρες καί ἑβδομάδες θά γνωριστοῦμε μεταξύ μας καλύτερα. Ἔχω ἤδη λάβει καί συνεχίζω νά λαμβάνῳ θερμές εὐχές καί συγχαρητηρίους λόγους ἀπ ὁλόκληρη τήν ἐπικράτεια τῆς Ἀμερικῆς οἱ ὁποῖοι μέ ἐνθαρρύνουν. Θά γνωρίσετε πράγματα γιά μένα, ἀλλά ἐκεῖνο πού πρωτίστως ἐπιθυμῶ νά γνωρίζετε εἶναι ὅτι ἔρχομαι στήν Ἀμερική ὄχι μόνον γιά νά εἶμαι ὁ Ἀρχιεπίσκοπός σας, ἀλλά ὁ πνευματικός φίλος καί ἀδελφός σας, ὁ ὑπηρέτης σας ἐν Κυρίῳ, ὁ συνεργάτης σας ἐν Κυρίῳ καί ὁ συν-οἰκονόμος σας ὅλων τῶν δωρεῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπί τῶν Πιστῶν τῆς Ἑλληνικῆς Ἀρχιεπισκοπῆς Ἀμερικῆς. Μαζί θά φέρουμε τήν Ἱερά Ἀρχιεπισκοπή Ἀμερικῆς στήν ὑπέροχη συνειδητοποίηση ὅτι εἴμεθα Σῶμα Χριστοῦ καί καθένας ἀπό μᾶς πολύτιμο μέλος. Σέ σᾶς καί σέ ὅλους τούς Ὀρθοδόξους Χριστιανούς Ἀδελφούς καί Ἀδελφές ἀνά τήν Ἀμερική, κομίζω τήν εὐλογία τοῦ Παναγιωτάτου Οἰκουμενικοῦ Πατριάρχου κ.κ. Βαρθολομαίου. Ἔρχομαι κοντά σας ὡς ἀδελφός σας ἐν Χριστῷ. Καί στίς 22 Ἰουνίου, στήν Ἐνθρόνισή μου, προσδοκῶ νά ἀγκαλιάσω καί τούς οἰκουμενικούς καί διαθρησκειακούς φίλους μας καθώς καί ὁλόκληρη τήν πλουραλιστική Ἀμερικανική κοινωνία ἡ ὁποία ὑπηρετεῖ τήν ἐλευθερία τῆς συνειδήσεως καί τήν θρησκευτική ἐλευθερία μέ πάθος. Ἄς εἶναι ἡ περίοδος αὐτή περίοδος ἐλπίδος καί θετικῆς προσμονῆς γιά ὅλους μας. Ἔχουμε πολλά νά ἐπιτύχουμε μαζί, καί μέ τήν χάρη τοῦ Θεοῦ καί τή δύναμή Του, θά εἴμεθα βέβαιοι νικητές. Mετά πολλῆς ἀγάπης ἐν Χριστῷ Ἀναστάντι,

With the help of so many of you, we accomplished so much again this year and it doesn t look like we are slowing down. We are heavy underway in setting up for Ft. Demetri s Retirement Celebration on June 2nd and later this month we have the Clergy-Laity Conference in Jacksonville, FL. To recap on just a few things, we accomplished this past year, we kicked off the year with a fun outing at the Barn Dinner Theater, enjoyed some Margaritas and Mezzathia during our Membership drive, and closed out the year with our End-of-the-Year Social & Dinner Celebration at Medaloni Vineyards. In the midst of all the fun activities, we raised funds to meet our financial obligations to the many charity organizations who depend on our support. Organizations such as Crisis Control, Meals-on-Wheels, Hospice, Battered Women s Shelter, Project Hope, SCAN, Salvation Army, Second Harvest Food Bank, Zoe for Life, H.O.P.E., WS/FC School Buddies Fund, Forsyth Jail & Prison Ministry, Center of Exceptional Children and W.S. Back Pack Program are just a few of the many organizations we help each year. This was only possible because of your help. Without you, we couldn t be the successful organization that so many people count on. Thank you for your contributions and your friendship. May God bless and keep you safe as you enjoy your Summer Holidays. In Christ's Love, Your Chapter President, Kiki Gonzales
