Christ is Born! Glorify Him!
Thursday, 24 December 2009 13:57
Dear Friends in Christ,
Christ is Born! Glorify Him! Χριστός Γεννάται! Δοξάσατε!
Christmas is upon us again, the Nativity of Our Lord, God, and Savior Jesus Christ! St. John Chrysostom, who lived in the 4th and 5th centuries, and for whom our most common Divine Liturgy is named, composed a sermon for this feast from which I will draw a few quotes upon which to reflect.
I behold a new and wondrous mystery!...All join to praise this holy feast, beholding the Godhead herein…He who is above now, for our salvation, dwells here below; and we, who were lowly, are exalted by divine mercy!
Lewis Family Baptized

We’d like to welcome the Lewis family in to the Orthodox Church! On Sunday, November 16/29, Fr. Anastasios baptized Nathan, Cynthia, and their two youngest daughters, Seraphima Casey and Chloé, then blessed Nathan and Cynthia’s marriage in the Orthodox Church, here at Nativity of the Holy Theotokos Greek Orthodox Church in Greenville, NC. The Lewis family has been on a long journey to find the Church of Christ, and this search led them to the Orthodox Church, and our parish. Many years to them!
Clothing Closet Update
Sunday, 06 December 2009 16:22
We would like to thank everyone for their continued support of this wonderful outreach program. With the increased need for warm clothes and coats for the coming winter months, we need to spread the word to those in need.
We have installed a “drop-box” for clothing donations in front of the church which makes it more convenient for those wanting to offer contributions.
Our next public give-away will be Saturday, December 19th from 1-2:30 p.m.
Spiritual, but not Religious
Sunday, 06 December 2009 16:14
Dear Friends in Christ,
We sometimes hear people say that they are “spiritual, but not religious.” In our present age, it is fashionable to champion some type of spiritual relationship with God, while rejecting all the formalities and dogmas of organized religion. Such people view these formalities and dogmas as things that inhibit spirituality, a spirituality that is highly personal and individualistic, and is concerned with being a good person, perhaps with some borrowings from existing spiritual traditions such as yoga, meditation, and centering prayer.
Thanksgiving Even in Hard Times
Monday, 09 November 2009 10:57
Dear Friends in Christ,
2009 has been a tough year for many of us, financially, socially, and spiritually. We are living in an era of great change, which leaves us often feeling unnerved and unsure. While affirming the difficulty that many of us are in, we also are nearing the time of Thanksgiving, when we pause and give thanks, even in the midst of these difficulties.
