“Where there is no vision, the people perish.” (Proverbs 29:18)
PASCHA 2010
O Death, where is your sting? O Hell, where is your victory? Christ is risen, and you
are overthrown. Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen. Christ is risen, and the
angels rejoice. Christ is risen, and life reigns. Christ is risen, and not one dead
remains in the grave. For Christ, being risen from the dead, is become the first fruits
of those who have fallen asleep. To Him be glory and dominion unto ages of ages.
Amen.”
(Paschal Sermon of St, John Chrysostom)

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
April 2010
Dear Stewards and Friends of St. Haralambos,
CHRIST IS RISEN! ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ ΑΝΕΣΤΗ!
The joyful proclamation, “Χριστός Ανέστη! Christ is Risen!” is the first
Creed of Christianity. In spite of all the differences that exist within Christianity, all Christians agree that Christ is risen from the dead. This is the source
of life, of hope and of all joy in the world! It is the proof of God’s love; and it
is the single most important event in the history of the world. God’s love for
us empowers us to love and to forgive one another all things—no matter
what! We continue this greeting until the celebration of our Lord’s Ascension
on May 13.
On March 14th, our Sunday School held its Oratorical Festival. What a
treat! Our young people presented skits, songs and readings about their
favorite Bible stories, the 23rd Psalm, the Ten Commandments, and other
aspects of their spiritual formation. They did a marvelous job, and we thank
and congratulate the teachers and the staff of our Sunday School Department!
We also commend Leia Mantanes, Jimmy Loomos, Matthew Tabrizi, Valerie
Mantanes, Maggie Ruggerio and Anna Maris for their Oratorical Fest entries.
Our Lenten and Holy Week commemorations were beautiful! We are
grateful to many, many people who worked to make it so wonderful:
Deacon John and our chanters, Nick Harisiadis, Loukas Pergantas, Dino
Houpis, Myron Chornomay, Antonios Antonopoulos and Kostas Maris; our
Philoptochos Ladies, our PTA, our Sunday School Department, our Altar
Boys, our Myrofores and our custodians, Juan and Carolina.
In April, we will have the annual IOCC Banquet on April 29 at the
Rosewood; please consider attending! There will also be a special
opportunity on Sunday, May 2 to hear the acclaimed Konevets Quartet,
from Russia. They will be giving a concert at the Holy Resurrection Serbian
Cathedral to benefit the building program of the Protection of the Virgin
Mary Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Des Plaines.
As we look ahead to the next school year, we are saddened to report that
Mrs. Stacey Chiampas is resigning as director of our morning preschool.
She has been a part of this program since 1995, and we thank her for her
many years of service to our children. We will miss her.
We are happy to inform you that Mrs. Rita Petratos will be our new
director. Rita has been teaching in this program since 2006. She is a lifelong
member of St. Haralambos, and we wish her great success!
Before we know it, all our energy will be turning to the events surrounding the end of the school year. Our GOYA Dinner Dance will take place on
May 2nd; please give our GOYANS your support! Graduations, parties,
cookouts, Junior Olympics and our Memorial Day Picnic give us so much to
be grateful for!
The 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! Make sure your child has registered.
Let us be grateful to God, and enjoy all the wonderful opportunities that
lay ahead!
Χριστός Ανέστη! Christ is Risen!
Fr. Dean

DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE ORTHODOX CHURCH?
The Orthodox Church traces its origin to the Day of
Pentecost, 50 days after Christ’s Resurrection from
the dead, when the Holy Spirit descended on the
Holy Disciples.
If you are interested in learning more about the
Orthodox Faith, feel free to call the church office.
Ongoing classes are offered!
A program for adults who are not baptized or
baptized but not Orthodox is also offered. Please
call Fr. Chris Kerkeres (847-647-8880) if you have
questions or would like to attend!
COMMUNITY NEWS AND ACTIVITIES
2010 STEWARDSHIP & TITHING: “FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT OF OUR FAITH”
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.
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.
God considers us worthy of the many blessings we receive from Him; let us be not only worthy receivers,
but worthy givers!
GOYA DINNER DANCE--The St. Haralambos GOYA will be

ΕΝΟΡΙΑΚΕΣ ΑΝΑΚΟΙΝΩΣΕΙΣ
STEWARDSHIP AND TITHING — 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.
Ο Θεός μας θεωρεί άξιους των άφθονων ευλογιών που μας δίνει¨ ας γίνουμε άξιοι όχι μόνον να λαμβάνουμε αλλά άξιοι και να
δίνουμε!

GLORY BE TO GOD
Glory be to God for everything! Glory be to God for having
created me in His image and likeness. Glory be to God for having
redeemed me, the fallen. Glory be to God for having extended His
solicitude to me, the unworthy. Glory be to God for having led me,
the sinner, to repentance. Glory be to God for having offered me
His holy words, like a lamp in a dark place, thus setting me on the
path to righteousness. Glory be to God for having illumined the
eyes of my heart. Glory be to God for having made known to me
His holy name. Glory be to God for having washed away my sins
through the bath of baptism. Glory be to God for having shown me
the way to eternal bliss. The way is Jesus Christ, Son of God, Who
says of Himself, “I am the way and the truth and the life.”
Glory be to God, that He has not brought me to perdition
through my sins, but suffered them because of His kindness. Glory
be to God for showing me the vanity and emptiness of the world.
Glory be to God for helping me in various temptations,
misfortunes, and calamities. Glory be to God for protecting me in
accidents and mortal dangers. Glory be to God for defending me
against the devil, who is the enemy. Glory be to God for raising up
me when I was prostrate. Glory be to God for comforting me in my
sorrow. Glory be to God for converting me when I was erring.
Glory be to God for punishing me as a loving father. Glory be to
God for announcing to me His last Judgment, that I might fear it
and repent my sins. Glory be to God for revealing to me eternal
torment and eternal bliss, that I might flee the one and seek the
other. Glory be to God for offering to me, the unworthy one, food,
clothing and shelter.
