STEWARDSHIP
Christian Stewardship is...
...learning how to be a responsible and concerned caretaker of Christ's Church;
it is learning how to enjoy Church life and be happy in Church work, for in Her dwells the fullness of the Spirit of God.
...our active commitment to use all our time, talent and treasure for the benefit of humankind in grateful acknowledgment of Christ's redeeming love.
...caring for the needs of others.
...offering one's self to God as He offered Himself to us.
...what a person does after saying "I believe...", as proof of that belief.
...devotion and service to God and His Church as persons, as families, as parish, as diocese/metropolis, as national Church and as Church universal.
~ from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America

GREEK SCHOOL
Greek School has come to an end. On May 30 at 11am the children will celebrate by singing a number of Greek songs. They will also perform dances. The parents and friends are invited to watch them. We are all very proud of them. They worked hard throughout the year learning the language. In the end, we will eat cake and ice cream.
On Sunday June 7 after Liturgy, is Graduation Sunday. The Greek School students will receive their certificates along with all the other Church School, high school and college graduates! After, there will be a cookout for all to enjoy.
Have a great summer!

ST. IRENE'S PHILOPTOCHOS
Our Chapter Challenge for National Philoptochos continues. As a reminder, we have chosen to provide food for the Lexington Food Pantry. We would love to fill both containers, which have been placed in St. Irene's Hall, next to the bookcase. Our last delivery was not as plentiful as we had hoped. Once again the items they suggest are: Baked Beans, Canned Fruit and Vegetables, Cereal, Macaroni & Cheese, "Meals in a Can", Angel Hair Pasta, Peanut Butter, Soup, Spaghetti Sauce, Tuna Fish and Chicken Broth (15 oz. ONLY). Personal care items and paper products, including toilet paper are also welcomed. Thank you for your help in this very important and needed project. Through your generosity, we were able to send $350 to the Philoxenia House as our Boston Metropolis commitment. We will also give a gift certificate to Trader Joe's for $100, to the Hellenic Home for their Luncheon Under the Tent event. We will give $250 to Fr. Demetri for his Discretionary Fund. Our newly elected Board Members are: Pam Brown, Mary Correia, Maria Decoulos, Stephanie DeVasto, Lela Digenis, Kathy Dimas, Gloria Doukakis, Val Larsin, Marcy Norse, Helen Pitarys, Felia Proakis, Christine Vallas, and Amelia Yanakis. We are still in need of a President. Please let myself, or one of the Board Members know if you would like to serve in that capacity for this wonderful ministry. This will/should be my last contribution to the monthly Orthodox Way as I am stepping down as President. I cannot thank the ladies enough for having made this such a fun and easy roll these past four years! The meetings were well attended, and although necessary to conduct business, through the camaraderie, conversations would sometimes get "off-track". That's where my little bell came in handy! I hope and pray someone has the desire to lead our St. Irene's chapter. This ministry is not only for the "older" ladies!! Several of the current active stewards have been members for many years, which means they were not "old" when they became involved!!! Once again, thank you to my Philoptochos sisters for allowing me to serve! God bless, Pam Brown

2015 St. Nicholas Metropolis Ministry Awards Recipient
We are pleased to announce that this year's St. Nicholas recipient is Penelope Tsougros. Our parish community thanks her for her service to our church. The awards dinner is on Sunday, June 14, 2015 at Lombardo's in Randolph. If you would like tickets, please contact the church office.
Sunday Fellowship Hour
During the year, many have come forward to host a Sunday Fellowship Hour and we thank them so much. It is part of our Sunday and we all look forward to it as an opportunity to meet and greet fellow parishioners and visitors. However, there are some Sundays that no one has signed up and the decision is made to serve only coffee. Should this occur, no one should feel the need to run out and purchase anything. Although this appreciated, it is not necessary. Thank you.
