PARISH LIFE Vasilopita Celebration 2012 PC Affirmation May the Lord grant all of us a blessed, healthy and prosperous 2012!!! Olympic Gyros Lunch New Year s Dinner
PASTORAL MESSAGE Dear Parishioners of our Beloved Assumption, Greetings in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Recently, one of the faithful came to my office and offered me a little advice. I was told that we, as a parish, needed to find a way to fundraise more so that the members didn t have to give so much. Effectively, I was being told that the Quad Cities community should financially support our parish. My response was that the faithful of our parish, who have been so amply blessed, should be so thankful to the Lord for all that each of us is given that we far exceed our budget with stewardship offerings. It is in this way that we may more greatly reach out to those who have been marginalized: the homeless, the abused, the unemployed, the imprisoned and so many others who are struggling. It is our privilege as faithful Christians to offer all that we have to help all those who have been created in His image. This year I commend our parishioners for such a great increase in our stewardship pledges. I say commend you, not thank you, because we are not giving to the Lord and His Church of ourselves, but offering back to Him a part of what He has given us. So I commend you for your spiritual growth that has led to the greater offerings of time, talent and treasures. St. John Chrysostom asks us, Is the parish your world, or is the world your parish? This question epitomizes how we view who should support our parish. Are we to be supported by the world or are we to support the world. If we are to be a beacon of light set on a lampstand (Luke 11:33) for all to see, it must be by our love for one another (John 13:35), even those who are not members of our parish, that we will be recognized as being of Him. Praying that the Lord continue to bless us in this new year with health and prosperity, I remain, In Christ s Love, Rev. Father Jon Boukis PROISTAMENOS

Approximately $69,200 to go to have a balanced budget If the other 40 stewards of 2011 increased by the same percentage, our total pledges for 2012 would be $146,482!!! Of course not all should increase, but some should increase 10 fold. We must give to the extent that we are thankful to God.
THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD Commemorated February 2 When the most pure Mother and Ever-Virgin Mary's forty days of purification had been fulfilled, she took her first-born Son to Jerusalem on this, the fortieth day after His birth, that she might present Him in the temple according to the Law of Moses, which teaches that every first-born male child be dedicated to God, and also that she might offer the sacrifice of a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons, as required by the Law (Luke 2:22-24; Exod. 13:2; Lev. 12:6-8). On this same day, a just and devout man, the greatly aged Symeon, was also present in the temple, being guided by the Holy Spirit. For a long time, this man had been awaiting the salvation of God, and he had been informed by divine revelation that he would not die until he beheld the Lord's Christ. Thus, when he beheld Him at that time and took Him up into his aged arms, he gave glory to God, singing: "Now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, O Master..." And he confessed that he would close his eyes joyfully, since he had seen the Light of revelation for the nations and the Glory of Israel (Luke 2:25-32). From ancient times, the Holy Church has retained this tradition of the churching of the mother and new-born child on the fortieth day and of the reading of prayers of purification.
SAINT THEODORE THE COMMANDER Commemorated February 8 The holy Martyr Theodore was from Euchaita of Galatia and dwelt in Heraclea of Pontus. He was a renowned commander in the military, and the report came to the Emperor Licinius that he was a Christian and abominated the idols. Licinius therefore sent certain men to him from Nicomedia, to honor him and ask him to appear before him. Through them, however, Saint Theodore sent back a message that it was necessary for various reasons, that Licinius come to Heraclea. Licinius, seeing in this a hope of turning Saint Theodore away from Christ did as was asked of him. When the Emperor came to Heraclea, Saint Theodore met him with honor, and the Emperor in turn gave Theodore his hand, believing that through him he would be able to draw the Christians to the worship of his idols. Seated upon his throne in the midst of the people, he publicly bade Theodore offer sacrifice to the gods. But Theodore asked that the emperor entrust him with the most venerable of his gods, those of gold and silver, that he might take them home and himself attend upon them that evening, promising that the following day he would honor them in public. The Emperor, filled with joy at these tidings, gave command that Theodore's request be fulfilled. When the Saint had taken the idols home, he broke them in pieces and distributed the gold and silver to the poor by night. The next day a centurion named Maxentius told Licinius that he had seen a pauper pass by carrying the head of Artemis. Saint Theodore, far from repenting of this, confessed Christ boldly. Licinius, in an uncontainable fury, had the Saint put to many torments, then crucified. While upon the cross, the holy Martyr was further tormented -- his privy parts were cut off, he was shot with arrows, his eyes were put out, and he was left on the cross to die. The next day Licinius sent men to take his corpse and cast it into the sea; but they found the Saint alive and perfectly whole. Through this, many believed in Christ. Seeing his own men turning to Christ, and the city in an uproar, Licinius had Theodore beheaded, about the year 320. The Saint's holy relics were returned to his ancestral home on June 8, which is also a feast of the Great Martyr Theodore.

Η Υπαπαντή του Κυρίου 2 Φεβρουαρίου Το γεγονός αυτό εξιστορεί ο ευαγγελιστής Λουκάς στο κεφάλαιο β, στ. 22-35. Συνέβη σαράντα μέρες μετά τη γέννηση του παιδιού Ιησού. Σύμφωνα με το Μωσαϊκό νόμο, η Παρθένος Μαρία, αφού συμπλήρωσε το χρόνο καθαρισμού από τον τοκετό, πήγε στο ναό της Ιερουσαλήμ μαζί με τον Ιωσήφ, γιά να εκτελεσθεί η τυπική αφιέρωση του βρέφους στο Θεό κατά το "πάν άρσεν διανοίγον μήτραν (δηλαδή πρωτότοκο) άγιον τω Κυρίω κληθήσεται "και για να προσφέρουν θυσία, που αποτελούνταν από ένα ζευγάρι τρυγόνια ή δύο μικρά περιστέρια. Κατά τη μετάβαση αυτή, δέχθηκε τον Ιησού στην αγκαλιά του ο υπερήλικας Συμεών, όπως θα εξιστορίσουμε αύριο στη μνήμη του. Αυτό το γεγονός αποτελεί άλλη μιά απόδειξη ότι ο Κύριος Ιησούς Χριστός δεν ήλθε να καταργήσει τον Μωσαϊκό νόμο, όπως ισχυρίζονταν οι υποκριτές Φαρισαίοι και Γραμματείς, αλλά να τον συμπληρώσει, να τον τελειοποιήσει. Κατά την ολονυκτία της Υπαπαντής στην Κωνσταντινούπολη, οι βασιλείς συνήθιζαν να παρευρίσκονται στο Ναό των Βλαχερνών. Η συνήθεια αυτή εξακολούθησε μέχρι τέλους της βυζαντινής αυτοκρατορίας.
Άγιος Χαράλαμπος Ιερομάρτυς 10 Φεβρουαρίου Ήταν ιερέας στη Μαγνησία της Μ. Ασίας. Η ζωή του ήταν μία συνεχής υπηρεσία αφοσίωσης στο Χριστό και αγάπης πρός τον πλησίον. Όταν το 198 ο Σεπτίμιος Σεβήρος εξαπέλυσε διωγμό κατά των Χριστιανών, ο έπαρχος Λουκιανός έφερε μπροστά του το Χαράλαμπο και τον απείλησε ότι θα τον βασάνιζε πολύ σκληρά για να αρνηθεί το Χριστό. Ο γέροντας ιερέας χαμογέλασε και απάντησε: "Εμείς οι χριστιανοί είμαστε εξοικειωμένοι με τους αγώνες και τους πολέμους, όπως οι γενναίοι στρατιώτες δεν επιθυμούν τον ήσυχο θάνατο στο κρεβάτι, αλλά τον δοξασμένο της μάχης. Σε μένα υπάρχουν τα γηρατειά, αλλά να μάθετε καλά ότι στους δικούς μας αγώνες το πάν είναι η ψυχή, η αποφασιστικότητα, η αυταπάρνηση. Αυτά δεν πέφτουν με την ηλικία, αλλά μένουν πάντοτε ανθηρά και νέα. Αμφιβάλλεις έπαρχε; Δοκίμασε. Και θα δείς ότι με τη χάρη του Κυρίου μου Ιησού Χριστού θα κουρασθούν όλοι οι ακμαίοι δημιοί σου, χωρίς ο ιερέας Χαράλαμπος να ζητήσει την επιείκειά σου".εκνευρισμένος από τα λόγια αυτά ο έπαρχος, διατάζει και τον γδέρνουν ζωντανό. Αυτός όμως αντί να σπαράζει από τον πόνο, δοξολογούσε το Θεό για την αντοχή που του έδινε. Τότε πολλοί δήμιοι, που έβλεπαν αυτό το θαύμα πίστεψαν στο Χριστό. Φοβισμένος ο έπαρχος τον άφησε ελεύθερο. Αργότερα ο ίδιος ο Σεβήρος, μη μπορώντας να τα βγάλει πέρα μαζί του, τον αποκεφάλισε σε ηλικία 113 ετών.
