HOLY TRINITY GREEK ORTHODOX CATHEDRAL CAMP HILL, PA
“Live FREE live as servants of GOD” 1 Peter 2:16
The above is from the theme of our Metropolis Summer camp this summer. I had the privilege of going to
summer camp for one of the GOYA/teen sessions. I thought that for this article I’d share some of what we
learned and did at camp.
Every day at camp follows a pattern of activities and also revolves around the theme for the week and the day.
The theme for the week was about breaking free from the slavery of sin and living as free servants of God.
In addition to the quote above, many of the scripture readings of the week revolved around the book of Exodus
in which the Israelites, the people of God, were working as slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt and with God’s help
through Moses’ and Aaron’s broke free from bondage and left (made an exodus) from Egypt. There are
obvious parallels between that story and our salvation in Christ. Israelites are us, the bondage is our bondage to
sin, Moses is a Christ figure, the exodus and Passover are Christ’s passion and resurrection giving us victory
over sin, the destruction of Pharaoh, who stands for the devil, and his army (the demons) in the red sea is an
example of the defeat of the devil and his minions, 40 years wandering in the desert may be analogous to the
fact that salvation, while accomplished by Christ once for all time, takes time and effort to implement in our
own lives.
The day at camp includes chapel morning and evening, with some quiet time to pray, study scripture, write in
journal, etc. after morning chapel. There are clergy-lead teaching sessions and discussion groups then some fun
times like free swim in the afternoon. In the evening after dinner and chapel, there’s usually some fun activity.
Morning and evening services are usually an abbreviated Orthros and Vespers, but throughout the week other
services are substituted. For example, Unction on Wednesday, Thursday morning divine liturgy, Thursday
night paraklesis, Friday night artoclasia and Trisagion. Wednesday evening the routine schedule is changed
slightly so that the campers may come to confession. Since this session of camp over-lapped with the Biennial
Clergy-Laity Congress in Philadelphia, we were initially worried about having enough priests to get through all
the confessions in a reasonable period of time since virtually all of the campers make a confession.
There is also a “step up” program for the oldest teens at camp. It focuses on the kids who are too old to come
back as campers again, the ones who graduated from high school this year, but also includes the rising seniors,
too. This “step up” program takes place after the rest of the kids are getting ready for or in bed and was led by
two dynamic counselors. I only went to two of these late night activities. One was senior speeches in chapel.

These speeches were about what camp has meant to them in their development as Orthodox Christians and, kids
being kids, there was some silliness to some of the speeches, but all of them were quite inspiring. Another
evening there was a hike up a mountainside to an outdoor chapel space where a service of forgiveness was held,
similar to what is done in church on Forgiveness Sunday Vespers.
Perhaps the highlight of the week was the visitation of the Panagia in the form of a miraculous icon. About
three years ago an icon made by the nuns of Agia Skepi started exuding myrrh. This icon is in the parish of St.
George in Taylor, PA which is sort of near Scranton, PA. Despite a complete lack of, and even the
discouragement of publicity, this parish and this icon have become the focus of intense interest by Orthodox
Christians, a site of pilgrimage.
The parish priest, Fr. Mark Leasure, brought the icon to camp as a blessing to the campers and staff. We held a
paraklesis service followed by about an hour and half of stories of miracles associated with this icon and
questions and more stories as answers. Most of these stories centered around healings from heart ailments and
cancer, too much to include here, maybe another time I will publish those notes. Fr. Mark Leasure emphasized
that not everyone is physically healed and that prayers for healing really ought to be accompanied by “Thy will
be done, Lord.” Then, after the blessing of hearing of all these miracles, we took some long period of time to
anoint everyone with myrrh from the icon.
Between the end of the service and before Fr. Mark Leasure started telling the miracle stories he called up the
clergy and the graduating seniors and picked up the icon, tilted it and let a drop of myrrh fall from the icon into
our cupped hands. He then went on to emphasize the importance of experience in the Orthodox faith and how
this experience should strengthen our faith, particularly those who are going off to college and “real life” who
will be challenged about their faith.
I think we were in church from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. and I don’t think I really ever saw any restlessness on the part
of even the 12 year olds at camp. The mother of God really gathered and kept everyone’s attention. The spirit
of contrition and love present was an experience I doubt I will ever forget. Undoubtedly, this was a blessing for
all present.
Back in 1988 there was another instance of a weeping icon at camp. Miracles occur at camp, but I think most of
them are quieter, of the nature of subtle healing through confession or an unseen but vital strengthening of faith.
I wish more people could have this blessing.
Wishing you a blessed remainder of the Summer,
+Fr. Mark

Αγαπητοι Ενοριτες,
Τον μηνα Μαιο εγινε με μεγαλη επιτυχια το ετησιο φεστιβαλ της κοινοτητας μας, η πολυμηνη και με
μεγαλη συμμετοχη προετοιμασιας φαγητων και γλυκισματων εκανε το φεστιβαλ ποσοτικα πλουσιοτερο.
Διακριναμε την μεγαλη προσελευση των κατοικων της περιοχης, καμαρωσαμε τα χορευτικα της νεολαιας μας
οπου τραγουδωντας και χορευοντας παρουσιαζαν ηθη και εθιμα, ελληνικη παραδοση ενθουσιαζοντας τους
παρευρισκομενους. Οι Ιερεις μας στο εσωτερικο του ναου μας ξεναγουσαν και εξηγουσαν την Ορθοδοξια,
την λαμπροτητα και την ωραιοτητα που συναντα κανεις στην ελληνικη αγαπη και πιστη της Ορθοδοξιας.
Ο Ναος μας μεσα και εξω εμοιαζε σαν μια μεγαλη κυψελη και τα μελη της κοινοτητας μας
πηγαινοερχονταν
σαν τις μελισσες με μονη τους φροντιδα η περισσοτερη προσφορα για την καλυτερη
επιτυχια, οι εργαζομενοι ηταν νεοι, μεσηλικες, ηλικιωμενοι, φοιτητες, διακεκριμενοι επιχειρηματιες, ιατροι,
δικηγοροι, αξιωματικοι των ενοπλων δυναμεων,επιστημονες, ανθρωποι της τεχνης και των
γραμματων.Εργαζοταν ο ενας πλαι στον αλλον με την απλοτητα και ισοτητα μεταξυ των κοινωνικων ταξεων.
Αυτη η γεματη αγαπη συνεργασια παρουσιαζει την εικονα μιας μεγαλης ελληνο- ορθοδοξης οικογενειας,
αυτη ειναι η αιτια που φερνει τα μαιστραλια της επιτυχιας για να δροσιζουν τα ιδρωμενα προσωπα αυτων
που προσφερουν για το καλο και την προοδο της κοινοτητας μας.
Τα πρωτα βηματα για το φεστιβαλ εγιναν στις αρχες της δεκαετιας του 1970 οπου η προετοιμασια
των φαγητων γινοταν στο εστιατοριο του αειμνηστου Κωνσταντινου Μαλλιου και μεταφεροταν στην
εκκλησια μας. Αργοτερα ο Κος Γεωργιος Α. Γιανναρης θα τολμησει να διοργανωσει το πρωτο φεστιβαλ στην
εκκλησια μας το οποιο εγινε με επιτυχια, εκτοτε συνεχιζεται σε ετησια βαση. Χαρουμενα και ελπιδοφορα
ειναι τα μηνυματα που παιρνουμε σημερα με την υπευθυνοτητα που παιρνουν για την διοργανωση του οι
νεοι της κοινοητας μας οπως ο Γεωργιος Μαλλιος, Θεοδωρος Ν. Καλαθας και τοσοι αλλοι.
Τα εσοδα απο το φεστιβαλ βοηθουν σημαντικα σε εργα συντηρησης των κτιριακων εγκαταστασεων
και αλλων αναγκων της κοινοτητας μας.
Συγχαρητηρια αξιζουν σε ολους που μπορουν και προσφερουν, θα ηταν παραλειψη εαν δεν
ευχαριστησουμε ιδιαιτερα τις κυριες απο το Τσεμπερσμπουργκ για την μεγαλη και συνεχη προσφορα τους.
Τον Αυγουστο γιορταζουμε μια απο τις μεγαλυτερες γιορτες της χριστιανοσυνης την Κοιμηση της
Θεοτοκου ευχομαστε σε ολους χρονια πολλα και με υγεια!

VOTER ELIGIBILITY FOR PARISH COUNCIL ELECTIONS
In order to be eligible to vote in the Parish Council Elections, an individual must be a member in good
standing of the Parish, as defined in the Uniform Parish Regulations of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of
America. In Chapter One, Article 18, Section 1, of these regulations, a parishioner in good standing is defined
as: "Any person, eighteen years of age or over, who was baptized and chrismated according to the rites of
the Orthodox Church and lives according to the tenets of the Orthodox faith."
The Uniform Parish Regulations also provide that a member in good standing is one who has met his or her
stewardship obligation to the Parish. Under Article VI, Section 1, of our Parish Bylaws, this stewardship
obligation is defined as follows: "For purposes of voting in the annual election of Parish
Council members, a parishioner in good standing is defined as any member of the Parish
who submits a completed stewardship pledge card on or before the end of the
Ecclesiastical Year, August 31, prior to the elections on the third Sunday in November of
each calendar year."
In addition, Article VI, Section 6, of the Parish Bylaws provides that "Absentee ballots shall be made
available to parishioners who for physical or health reasons are unable to personally cast a ballot on the
day of elections and who are otherwise able, competent, and eligible to vote." Requests for absentee
ballots will be available in the church office.
Please remember that if you do not turn in a pledge card,
you are NOT eligible to vote in the Fall elections for Parish Council, NOR are
you able to run as a candidate. August 31, 2014 is the deadline to submit your
stewardship pledge card.

The Orthodox Church teaches that it is proper to venerate, not worship, icons. The acceptable way to do
this is to kiss either the hands or feet of the saint depicted in the icon, or the scroll, the Gospel book, or the hand
cross a saint is holding. Please do not wear lipstick when kissing the icons since the residue will ruin them.

The following books are our featured titles for the summer. They are part of the Orthodox Bible
Study Companion Series by Lawrence R. Farley
The Gospel of Luke … Good News for the Poor $24
The Gospel of St. Luke has been described as “the loveliest book in the world.” It was
written by a Gentile for Gentiles, with the purpose of touching their hearts with the Good
News of Christ. Luke speaks especially to the poor and the marginalized of society –
including women – with an emphasis on Joy, healing, and prayer. With his gift of making
the fruits of biblical scholarship accessible to the ordinary layperson, Fr. Lawrence Farley
expounds this beautiful account of the life and ministry of Christ for contemporary
Christians.
The Epistle to the Romans … A Gospel for All $15
The apostle Paul lived within a swirl of controversy. False Christians – Judaizers
– dogged his every step, slandering his motives, denying his apostolic authority,
and seeking to overthrow his Gospel teaching. They argued their case loudly,
and Paul knew that he must give the literary performance of his life. The result
was the Epistle to the Romans, in which he demonstrates the truth of his Gospel
– a Gospel for all men – and thereby vindicates his apostolic authority.

First and Second Corinthians … Straight from the Heart $16
The community Paul founded in Corinth gave him both joy and grief, for he was to
encounter problems there of disunity, sin, and arrogance – including a rejection by some
of his own apostolic authority. His two epistles to the Corinthians came straight from the
heart, as he appeals to them to live in peace, in righteousness, in generosity, and not to
resist his God-given authority. His Corinthian correspondence abides as a lasting legacy,
and a challenge for all churches everywhere.
The Prison Epistles – Philippians – Ephesians – Colossians – Philemon $16
From the depths of a Roman prison, words of encouragement and instruction flowed
from the tongue of the great Apostle Paul. Written down by scribes, his words went forth
as a series of letters to Christian communities throughout the Roman Empire. The
Apostle Paul may have been fettered and shackled to a series of Roman guards, but the
Word he preached remained unfettered and free.
Sheparding the Flock – The Pastoral Epistles of St. Paul the Apostle to Timothy
and Titus $13
What is the abiding significance of the epistles of the Apostle Paul to Timothy and Titus?
In them, Paul teaches about “how one ought to conduct oneself in the House of God,”
the Church (1 Tim. 3:15). As a loving shepherd, charged by Christ to care for the souls
of men committed to him, St. Paul takes care to instruct others to shepherd the flock as
well, and the wisdom born from such pastoral and loving care makes these epistles
timeless and precious. These final three epistles of St. Paul remain as a testimony to his
pastoral love and as an inspiration for those in the Church – both the shepherds and the
flock – to walk in holiness and love themselves.
Universal Truth … The Catholic Epistles of James, Peter, Jude, and John $16
The catholic, or general, epistles of the “other apostles” – James, Peter, Jude, and John –
are sometimes overshadowed by the stirring theology of the great Apostle to the
Gentiles, St. Paul.
But these seven epistles are quiet gems of instruction,
encouragements, and exhortation for all believers. Written at various times and locations
and to differing audiences, the general epistles nevertheless share some common
themes: endurance under persecution; living out the Faith in a hostile society; discerning
heresy by its fruits – namely, immorality and lack of love – and resisting it, holding fast to
the apostolic faith. As fr. Lawrence Farley deftly shows in this commentary, all these are
timely themes from which believers today can richly profit.

ADVERTISING IN THE SOURCE
In an effort to contain printing costs for monthly newsletters, many churches have turned to paid
advertisements in their publications. Parish Council has agreed to adopt this funding source for our monthly
publication. Doing this would help lessen and possibly erase the expense of publishing the Source.
We now have availability for two pages of paid ads in our monthly Source. The ad price will represent a
year of advertising or 11 issues as we combine the June and July Source into one issue. Ads are sold by the
block. There will be room for 24 ads or blocks per page. You may purchase more than one block for increased
space and presentation. The cost of one ad block is $125 per year, and subsequent blocks would be an
additional $100 per block. For example, a business card ad would equal two blocks and would cost $225.
Camera ready ads are appreciated but not required.
Please help us promote this program. If you own or work for a business that may be interested in
advertising in our Source which is sent out to over 600 families, please contact Mary in the church office. If
you know of a business that may be a potential advertiser, please pass on a contact and phone number.
Examples of businesses that may be interested in advertising could be Greek bands, importers, baptismal
supplies/clothing stores, and jewelers specializing in crosses. Other possibilities could be lawyers, accountants,
real estate agents, etc. The only ads we cannot accept are ones pertaining to credit cards, travel, or insurance.
Please contact the church office as soon as possible if interested in this program.
