2011 STEWARDSHIP
DID YOU KNOW?...
As of April 12,
338 Stewards have committed
$196,870
For Stewardship in 2011!
OUR CHURCH’S TEACHING ABOUT CREMATION
The New Testament teaches that the body is the Temple of
the Holy Spirit. The body is further sanctified by the incarnation of Christ—God becoming Man in the body. Consistent
with this teaching, the body is an integral part of the whole
person, and the Church teaches and expects the resurrection
from the dead of the body and the soul, when God’s Kingdom comes in its fullness.
The Church considers cremation to be the deliberate desecration and destruction of what God has made, and insists
that the body be buried for the natural process to take place.
As the denial of the resurrection, in cases where there is
intention for the body of a deceased person to be cremated, a
church funeral is not allowed, either in the church, or the
Funeral home or any other place. Additionally, memorial
services with kolyva are not allowed, since the significance
between the “kernel of wheat” and the “body” has been
willfully destroyed.
Have you become a 2011 Steward yet?
OUR 2011 BIG
GREEK FOOD
FeSt
will take place July 15-17
this summer. Mark your
calendar!
Please consider planning your vacation before or
after our Fest; we need everyone's help!

STEWARDSHIP 2011—
EΡΧΟΥ ΚΑΙ ΙΔΕ!
ΜΙΑ ΝΕΑ ΑΠΟΨΗ — Με την
Αποστολική πρόσκληση «Έρχου και
ίδε», ανακαλύψαμε μία νέα άποψη

Αντιλαμβανόμενοι αυτή την νέα άποψη εκ βάθους
καρδίας, θα δούμε τον κόσμο ως δώρο Θεού, και θα
θέλουμε να ανταποκριθούμε με ένα νέο τρόπο στην
εντολή Του «να αγαπάς τον Κύριο με όλη την καρδιά
σου, την ψυχή, διάνοια και δύναμη». Η νέα αυτή
αντίληψη του Stewardship θα δώσει στην εκκλησία μας
την δύναμη και τα μέσα να προσκαλέσουμε κι άλλους
«Να Έλθουν και να Ίδουν»-- να ίδουν τι μπορεί η
εκκλησία μας να καταφέρει, όχι μόνον επιβιώνοντας,
αλλά επεκτείνοντας, υπηρετώντας και ανακαλύπτοντας
τον Θεό--να ίδωμεν που μπορούμε να φτάσουμε,
ανυψούμενοι με την χάριν και τις ευλογίες του Κυρίου-να ίδωμεν τι μπορούμε να προσφέρουμε στον πονεμένο
κόσμο που ζούμε! Εκ βάθους καρδίας, ας προσφέρουμε
από το χρόνο, ταλέντο και ταμείο μας στον Θεό. Έρχου
και ίδε!

2011 STEWARDSHIP —A NEW PERSPECTIVE
With the Apostolic invitation “Come and See,” we are discovering a new perspective about faith,
about Church, about love, about salvation and about Stewardship! This new perspective, coming
from the heart, helps us see the world as God’s gift, and helps us respond in a new way to His
command to “love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.” Our Stewardship from this
new perspective can give our Church the power and means to invite others to “Come and See;” to
see what our Church can become, not just surviving, but expanding, serving and witnessing for
God; to see what we can become, lifted up to new heights by God’s grace and blessings; to see what
we can offer and share in the broken world where we live, with God working through us! Come and See!
Coming from the heart, this new perspective calls us to commit our time, talents and treasure to God. In so doing, we
see how proper it is to determine a fair, level of giving that is proportionate to our household income.
So far, we are happy to report that 10% of our stewards have indicated that they are, in fact, setting their stewardship level in proportion to their income! We are grateful to ALL our Stewards for your love and support!
