“Where there is no vision, the people perish.” (Proverbs 29:18)
MAY—JUNE 2010
Acts of the Apostles 2:1-11
WHEN THE DAY of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly a
sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they
were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of
them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the
Spirit gave them utterance. Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every
nation under heaven. And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered,
because each one heard them speaking in his own language. And they were amazed and wondered, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of
us in his own native language? Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia,
Judea and Cappadocia, Pontos and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians, we
hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God."

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 intentionally destroyed.

From Father Dean
May 2010
Dear Friends and Fellow Stewards,
With the month of May, all our energy turns to the events following
Pascha, and the events surrounding the end of the school year. Graduations, parties, cookouts, Junior Olympics and our Memorial Day Picnic
give us so much to be grateful for!
The Great Feast of Pentecost will be celebrated on Sunday, May
23. This is one of the most important celebrations in the life of our
Church! When Jesus ascended into the heavens 40 days after Pascha,
he promised his followers that he would not abandon them, but that he
would send the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter (Παράκλητος) to guide
and sanctify them. On Pentecost, we kneel and ask the same Spirit to
descend on us!
Our GOYA Dinner Dance will also take place that evening; please
give our GOYANS your support.
Graduation time! Our GSL will have its End of the Year Program
on Saturday, May 22. Our Preschool’s Graduation Program will take
place on Friday, June 4, and our Afternoon Greek School Graduation
and Party will take place on June 6. Mark your calendar!
The Annual Junior Olympics will take place May 29-30 at Ss.
Constantine and Helen in Palos Hills, and we expect to have a huge
participation from the young people of St. Haralambos! Plan to be
there and to cheer for our young athletes!
We all look forward to our annual Memorial Day Picnic, taking
place on Monday, May 31. Pack your family and your picnic basket
and join us for a great day in the park! PLEASE NOTE: this year, our
picnic will take place at CROWLEY PARK in Glenview!
Before we know it, it will be time for our annual Big Greek Food
Fest. Plenty of help will be needed. We are so grateful to those
parishioners who schedule their summer vacation around the Festival
so that they can be able to help. This is greatly appreciated! Chairmanships are being created; if you would like to offer your help, please let
me know!
Let us be grateful to God, and enjoy all the wonderful opportunities
that lay ahead!
Fr. Dean
PS: By the way, our Visions newsletter is in need of sponsors! If you

COMMUNITY NEWS AND ACTIVITIES
2010 STEWARDSHIP & TITHING:
“FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT
OF OUR FAITH”
OLD FASHIONED PICNIC! On Memorial Day, May
31st, the families of the Saint Haralambos Sunday School,
Greek Schools, Youth Night, Junior GOYA, GOYA, YAL,

STEWARDSHIP AND TITHING IN
2010— This year, we have chosen the
image of David slaying Goliath for our
2010 Stewardship Program, to remind us
that Christian life is a struggle. As David
fought for the faith, we recognize that
pursuing excellence, morality, virtue and
sanctification is a struggle, and that
conscientious, sacrificial Stewardship is a
part of our spiritual quest for salvation.
NEW LOCATION! PLEASE NOTE—OUR
PICNIC WILL BE AT CROWLEY PARK THIS
YEAR!
We are grateful that more and more stewards understand
that our stewardship giving should be proportional giving as
we gradually begin the path to tithing. Tithing is the Biblical
standard of 10% for supporting God’s work, and reminds us
that the stewardship of our material goods is linked to our
Christian struggle.
PRE-REGISTRATION has begun for the 2009-10 Greek
School and GSL year! Register early to guarantee that your
children will have a place in Greek School. Registration
forms are available in the church office.
OUTSTANDING GREEK SCHOOL TUITIONS—All
tuitions should be paid in full by now! If you still have an
out standing balance, it must be paid before graduation!
God considers us worthy of the many blessings we receive
from Him; let us be not only worthy receivers, but worthy
givers!

ΤΟΝ ΑΓΩΝΑ ΤΟΝ ΚΑΛΟΝ ΔΙΑ
ΤΗΝ ΠΙΣΤΙΝ ΜΑΣ
Δια το πρόγραμμα του 2010 Stewardship
διαλέξαμε την εικόνα του Δαβίβ να
πολεμάει τον Γολιάθ, δια να μας
υπενθυμίζει ότι η Χριστιανική ζωή είναι
ένας αγώνας. Βλέποντας τον αγώνα του
Δαβίδ δια την πίστην του στον Έναν
Θεόν, αναγνωρίζουμε ότι είναι αγώνας το
να επιδιώκουμε την καλλιτέρευση, την
αρετή, την ηθική, και τον καθαγιασμό, και ότι το
Ευσυνείδητο Stewardship είναι μέρος της πνευματικής μας
αναζήτησης δια την σωτηρία.

Είμεθα ευγνώμονες που όλο και περισσότεροι stewards
αντιλαμβάνονται ότι η προσφορά μας προς το Stewardship
πρέπει να είναι ανάλογη με τα αγαθά που μας έχει δώσει ο
Θεός, καθώς ξεκινάμε βαθμιαία το μονοπάτι του “Δέκατου”.
Το “Δέκατο” (10%) είναι η κανονική προσφορά του καθενός
ανθρώπου, όπως περιγράγει η Παλαιά Διαθήκη, δια την
υποστήριξη του έργου του Θεού, και μας θυμίζει ότι το
Stewardship των υλικών αγαθών μας συνδέεται με τον
Χριστιανικό μας αγώνα.

“FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT OF OUR FAITH”
STEWARDSHIP AND TITHING IN 2010— We have chosen the image of David slaying
Goliath for our 2010 Stewardship Program. Against all odds, David faced the enemy and,
having deep faith, he prevailed! Let us pray to have such faith that we can be generous to our
church even in difficult times, knowing that God loves a cheerful giver!
Heartfelt and conscientious Stewardship ensures that our church will be strong and able to
minister to the needs of our children and friends, as well as all who turn to the Church for
blessings, help and guidance. Our Stewardship is not so much a reflection on the Church, but a
reflection on ourselves as givers. Stewardship is an expression of our love and appreciation to
God for the many blessings we receive. In return, let us become not only worthy takers but
worthy givers!
